shooters inspired by old arcade games
There's a PsOne game (also on the Saturn) - I know I should say PSP to please youngsters, but hey, I had to give up namin' em PSX not so long ago- port of a somewhat obscure coin-up shooter you might want to look at, if you like this kind of game : Tempest X3
It's provided with 100+ levels of weird digital insects blasting, and even features a trippy mode . Can you think of some more console shooters (on the Playstation, the Amiga CD32...) , whom authors were obviously inspired by old (if not primitive) arcade games ? Examples ? Deluxe Galaga, Datastorm... Last edited by NewDeli; 10 August 2008 at 22:59. |

R-Type Delta & Space Invaders. Which also happen to be the only good GayStation games ever released AFAIK.

Lame ST Ports = Space Invaders. Great intro from Dogs of War by Pink Floyd, and bas riff from Another One Bites the Dust by Queen... classic!

Menace appears to me a better / more diversified R-Type clone than Katakis.
I remember a friend attempted to have me play Nemesis on the MSX, which was an OK shooter too, with a nice power-up system. Tubular worlds, X-out and Wings of Death are all late yet pleasant discoveries. |

Just for completeness : Tempest 2000 is remake/enhanced version of the coin-up classic for the Atari Jaguar. That is the reason why the PSOne/PSX game is called 'X3'.

That's right.
I choose to present the PSX port of X3 since it's supposed to be Jaguar's Tempest most faithful one. As for the coin-op, classic it is, Galaga or Asteroids, it ain't. Try it, if you dare ! |
