Shmups Mk 2
Hey Akira!
On the Shmups page about the Amiga, it mentions Apidya and asks "Does this EXIST? If so, I would love to get my mitts on it =)" Of course it exists! I think you meant to put this comment on Apidya 2. However, we proved that Apidya 2 doesn't exist some time ago. http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/...iles_amiga.htm Also, on the main page (http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/index2.htm), it says: "Shmups is maintained by Akira , Aurang and Felix the Cat since February 23, 1999, taking over the fantastic job..." In this text, the links to your names are missing the /contactinfo/ bits and result in broken links. Also, I estimate that there are about 600 Amiga games which could be called shoot-'em-ups, while you only list 70... :) |
I remember a thread where we all discussed Apidya. The game labeled Apidya 2 exists. but Apidya one was on the C-64, right? Like The Last Ninja started on the C-64 and made it to the amiga. Well, Apidya 1, unlike The Last Ninja 1, never made it to the Amiga. I am right or wrong?
And don't call me Akira. Here is a link to that thread http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?...ghlight=apidya |
Apidya is called Apidya 2 isn't it?? So technically there is no Apidya 1 so the real Akira and the $2 whore stand in above are right.
Case closed. I hope:) Random quote from Cody: Quote:

Yep Cody, I've got to fix that! Teh database is a mess :P
BTW, you say 600 or so... feel free to post a list here... but A lot won't qualify as 'shmups'(as defiend in our Shmups FAQ). As I always say, "Shooters, yes. Shmups? Never!" :) Thanks for teh otehr reports. I bet there are more broken links we must fix ;) I really wish our site was scripted, we have a hell of a time updating every single HTML file. Scripting it follows (and the implementation of a REAL database-driven shmups list, istead of the HTML mess you see now) What's my site doing in 'Amiga websites reviews' anyway? :D |
Shoot-'em-ups

Shoot-'em-ups, eh? Well, purely off the top of my head I'd say the following. And I don't want any smartass saying that he thinks a game should be in a different category! And why the hell am I telling this information to a website about shoot-'em-ups anyway? Shouldn't you be telling us? :)

Nope, we are always open for contributions :) The Amiga list was compiled almost completely by me and someone else, but I tend to fail :P
From this list you provided I will extract the shmups, put'em on tht list and give you proper credit :) For example, 3D shoot'em ups are automatically disqualified :) Let's paste tht definition bit of the shmupfaq here: Quote:

By the way, Afterburner would be a third-person shooter, not first person :)
We call those 'chase-view' shooters. :D :D |
Arghhh, I was going to update teh list right now, but I can't eb arsed to filter the list. The platform shooters are mixed with the Rtypes and stuff...
Thanks for the list Cody, will try to take a look at it, someday :p |
