Classic Game Room - CRISIS FORCE review for Nintendo Famicom 

Now people are charging upwards of a hundred! Lucky you😎

Gun-Nac but prepare to pay.

In contrary to what you may think because of gameplay videos some more recent shmups are generally more newcomer friendly. So start with Mushihimesama Futari, DoDonPachi series (DoDonPachi: DaiOuJou is my favorite entry), Batsugun (especially Special version), Espgaluda series and Ketsui. Even though these games are from bullet hell subgenre (which is relatively newest shmup subgenre) they should be good entry point for you. They are still hard games but because of their mechanics they aren't so frustrating like many older games. After you will start feeling more comfortable with shmups you should try titles from other shmup genres (especially from such classic series like Gradius, R-Type, Darius, Raiden, Strikers 1945, Star Soldier and Thunder Force). There is to much good games that you should try and this list could go on and on so I will only say that games from companies like Compile, Toaplan, Cave, Raizing, Takumi, Treasure and Psikyo (of course not counting such well known companies like Konami, Taito, Irem or SNK) are the best ones in the genre. Also remember that some shmups were only released in arcades so Mame emulator will be your only option to play them unless you have boatload of cash.

I would recommend Thunder Force III for the Genesis. It's awesome and not too difficult. I suck at shooters and even I was able to beat that game after a few weeks of practice.

Truxton, duh

***** Oh, well of course. :P A lot of good suggestions here it looks like. The Thunder Force games I've seen a lot of in Game Sack and the like, so that does sound like a good place to start. I think my problem is that, at least for the moment, I don't know how to tell an objectively GOOD shooter from a bad one. Given my tastes I'd likely err on the side of preferring easier games, which seems to be the exact opposite of what most consider a "good" shooter.

it kev No, I am talking about the black playlist on the right of the screen that keeps auto playing videos I've watched already! Its very annoying!

Just unclick the auto play on the right side of the screen, but remember the more videos you watch, the more ads you view(unless you have an adblock of course), and the more money RU-vid/Google makes. ;-)

It's a reupload.

the chicken pic. lol

I have...

the last castlevania game for konami was crap. And the last final fight game from capcom also sucked.

Just for the NES, Konami made The Adventures of Bayou Billy, which I though was pretty terrible, but it is hard to find any real turds worse than that in their catalog. Capcom had a few fairly bad ones, Yo! Noid, Adventures in the Magic Kingdom, and 1942 come to mind. Their NES version of Commando wasn't too hot either. I don't know, but I think there were other bad ones left in Japan (along with some good ones). All in all though, their bad games are still better than the best some companies came up with.

Same thought. I guess he meant "with stereo headphones"? not "in stereo".

Its the A/V Famicom, not sure if that does stereo but I believe it uses the same a/v out as the SNES
