Hellfire is an awesome horizontal SHMUP, also one that doesn't seemed to get mentioned all that much. Probably because of it difficulty it's one of the harder SHMUPS on the Genesis. |

In reality, the game is not particularly good--it has flaws all over the place mostly from being a very early Genesis game, and a Sega-helmed conversion of a Capcom arcade game, but it has it's charm and my brother and I poured countless hours into it when we were kids. It also has a unique bug that gives you infinite lives--play the game in two-player and literally the only way to get a Game Over is for both players to die or be dead at the same time. --- End quote --- I think part of the reason that Forgotten Worlds doesn't hold up as well is that it was the first game on Capcom's CPS System (I) so it's got a lot of setpieces designed to impress the player with the new graphical power of the pcb as part of the game. The Genesis port of the game is alright, although I feel like the difficulty is really uneven in many places, and it doesn't help that the final boss has a 6-laser pattern that is impossible to dodge most of the time. |

Grind stormer is the best shoot em up on the sega genesis I would say. Probably the most graphically impressive shoot em up as well for the genesis. Check that one out. |
