Awesome sequel to the absolutely classic WW2 shooter. 'Cept for more lasers...
Abadox
DEVELOPER: Natsume
DATE: JP: December 15, 1989 | NA: March 1990
GENRE: Sidescrolling Shoot 'em Up
Hell yeah! It's Abadox. Like Forgotten Worlds, you control a robot thing (I think it's a robot thing). This game is haaaard, but absolutely beautiful to look at. The stages are made of guts and other bio things and it's... just chef's kiss.

GENRE: Sidescrolling Shoot 'em Up
Also known as SCAT: Special Cybernetic Attack Team (see, it's not bad). Interesting. You don't control a ship, but wannabe Terminator and Ripley. It's similar to Forgotten Worlds. Post-apocalyptic cyberpunk smth sceneary. Hard as balls.
Adventure Island

GENRE: 2D Platformer | Arcadey
Fun time waster game where you collect fruits to survive, since your health bar is always depleating. TBH I prefer the original Wonder Boy. No idea why.
