Kiff recently coxed me into giving Bomber raid a proper playing session, and i have to agree with his constant praise of the game, its great. Its such a hectic non-stop action blaster, with a cool weapons upgrade system, and an enjoyable difficulty level. I cant decide which is the best shooter though, bomber raid or r-type.

Power Strike all the way. Both of 'em. edit: heh, didn't realise this was a 2-year old thread - only saw this page. I still think Xenon 2 is highly over-rated though.

Well i bet my entire bank roll that you are right Kroop. I totally disagree.
Bomber Raid is immortal in the Scrolling shooter stakes.
By the way - Am i that predictable??? ;D

Xenon 2 really stinks. I've tryed hard to enjoy it but it's like slow torture. Cloud Master just beats R-Type in my collection as R-Type is too easy. Haven't played the Powerstrike's (Aleste) yet but I reckon I'll love those two mamas!

I've been a member here for ages now and i've only just realised this thread exists ;D I prefer the original Power Strike to number 2, but R-Type has to be my favourite . Bomber Raid is definitely a close second, but i've always been a fan of the R-Type games.

Allthough I do love R-Type, the music is incredible!

Shmups are one thing I haven't yet explored on the SMS. On older systems I always hit up the platformers first, and on the SMS I've occupied my time with the arcade games and the RPGs too. I popped in CLOUD MASTER, not really knowing what to expect, since the cover looks like a a child conceived out of wedlock ALEX KIDD game, yet the back makes it sound like a shmup. It's definitely more of a shmup, and a very fun game. The control and collision detection are spot on, the upgrades are fun, and the graphics a nice change of pace from the usual planes and spaceships the genre usually specializes in. It's tough as hell too, but I must say, it's definitely been one of the best surprises I've had yet with the system. My next few games will be in the shmup vein as well (R-TYPE, POWER STRIKE and FANTASY ZONE 2), so I'll report back here when I play 'em.
