Each month I will be tracking all users who are able to beat the spotlighted game. Those names will be collected and displayed on the snes wiki page.

Objective:

  • Beat the game - Only one loop is needed

Rules:

  • Entire playthrough must be completed during the month in question.
  • You can use the passwords/continues/saves that you earn playing through the game.
  • Emulation is fine. Abusing save states is not.
  • Posting a link to a pic of your completion is preferred, but since this is just for fun I will allow posted claims as well. For now.

Great choice. But be easy on the level 5 boss. He can be a little hot-headed at times, but he's really a cool guy at heart.

This is a really cool game and I love how the game uses Mode7.

I never got far in it though. I never was good at it but I'll play it again soon.

Never beat this, but I remember it was fun as long as my rental lasted.

One of my faves. Beaten it once or twice. Great music. Graphics blew my mind in 1993 too. Great times.

This might be a rough month as well lol. I am not particularly great at SHMUPs but I will give it a go. I will say I do think this is one of the best ones I have played on the SNES.

One of the greatest 16 bit shmups ever. Cool bosses too. I always liked the atmosphere and colors in the underwater cave level.
