Never realized that Stardust did so poorly, I played the game till my fingers bled. It gave me that "Yeah the Amiga can still do really cool things" vibe because of the graphics and the music.

On the other hand it was a souped up Asteroids of course. You can rave about how the tunnel sequence looks, but gameplay wise it was my least favorite section of the game; the perspective did not make it really easy to see when you would be dodging or hitting something.

I never did really get into Fireforce. It was a cool gimmick that you could slice throats and needed a helicopter pickup, plus it had really cool sound effects, but it didn't really work for me as a sideways scroller. I don't know. Not enough happening on screen, not enough platforming I guess.
