/vr/ - Retro Games

What is your favorite spook 'em up?

Do you look up a walkthrough before playing to get the best upgrades, or go blindly knowing that you will get destroyed? When you finally master each part of the game, do you just leave it at that or do you do high score or time attack runs for an extra challenge?
>am normally trash at games
>but pic related is surprisingly easy once you understand it
>It really never requires reflexes (except for the one part in stage 3-2 with the cavemen dropping from the sky) and the inputs per minute is very low compared to say Mega Man X2
>had fun getting wrecked and somehow reaching the end of stage 7, but the weapon you need for the second run was boring so I looked up a video showing all the chests, got golden armour and plowed through the game and made it my bitch, one of my favourite moments of gaming in recent memory
