/vr/ - Retro Games

Just, in general. This applies to Beloved Gunstar Heroes Wannabe Gunners Heaven too.

Boyfriend is gonna be visiting me for a weekend soon. What are some good co-op games we can finish in one sitting? Preferably not very hard because we aren't going to have enough time to really practice a game.

Gunstar Heroes. Which only has 7 levels so I might as well name them all because naming only the top and bottom 3 leaves the last one obvious.

>Stage 7, I love the boss rush
>Green, I love the force
>Black, I love the silly dice maze
>Pink, it's alright, nothing bad or great about it
>Orange, first half is pretty boring
>Stage 5, long, repetitive, and has no checkpoint
>Stage 6, the shmup segment is just too long and brutal on hard/expert if you don't have the beam saber

>No reason to ever not pick fire as your default weapon, because all of the strongest weapons are fire combinations, and fire is the only single weapon that's still powerful.
>The shmup stage on higher difficulties is such a nightmare without the lightning saber (fire+lightning) that unless you're extremely good at it, you're better off just restarting until you can get it from the weapons at the start. I've never even made it as far as Seven Force without it.
>Stage 5 kind of sucks in general. It's long, repetitive, has no checkpoint, and soldiers randomly throw you and do 20 damage.
>Title screen goes to demo in about 3 seconds, which is kind of annoying in general, but the worst part is that you can't chill out and listen to that jammin' title screen music unless you use the sound test.

Never owned a sega system, nor did any of my friends. I just started playing this a couple weeks ago and haven't even gotten to the end yet, but holy shit is it fun.

remember this one, /vr/?

I always think of this game when Treasure is mentioned, haven't played their shmups

horrible game

there is nothing good about this

Sometime in the future, somewhere not too far from where you live, an amazing adventure takes place...
The Gunstar family has been the protector of the Gunstar 9 (G-9) for generations. Professor White Gunstar, in his youth, defeated the Robot Golden Silver, a machine that traveled millions of miles to suck G-9 dry of all its resources. Professor White was able to extract the four famous Mystical Gems (The robot's power source), and imprisoned the robot on one of G-9's moons.
But now, years later, a new menace has arisen. Colonel Red, a vicious dictator (and a very bad dresser), found out that the Gunstars knew the location of the Mystical Gems. One day, The Colonel kidnapped the Gunstar twins' older brother Green and used a mind control machine to make Green obey his orders.
With Green's help, Colonel Red has amassed all four Mystical Gems, has turned Gunstar 9's peaceful worker droids into deadly menaces, and is now preparing to leave for Gunstar 9's moon to reactivate Golden Silver. As one of the Gunstar twins, you must fight your way past Colonel Red's Empire Army and retrieve the Mystical gems, or Golden Silver, the Destructor will rise again and destroy your world! Are you heroic enough for the task?

They were one of the main reasons I got a Genesis. Pic related.

I would definitely agree. Gunstar Heroes was the reason I got a Genesis in the first place, along with SoR2 and the Sonic games.

The intro music from "halt and catch fire" reminds me of a genesis game from my childhood. I've searched music everywhere that sounded like it..

The closest i got was gunstar heroes intro..
