  3. Truxton Extreme review: Nostalgic perfection shmupping
    The developers behind Truxton Extreme have somehow beautifully captured the best essences of classic SHMUPs, and J.J. is frothing at the mouth to talk about it!

  4. So, whilst I try to figure out something to play next, I decided to revisit a game I hadn't quite finished fully yet.

    Super Aleste or Space Megaforce's advanced difficulties were always quite daunting especially Wild/Lunatic difficulty, where enemies move faster, take more damage and when they die, launch a death bullet at you. Even certain obstacles launch a wave of bullets at you and it can get overwhelming pretty quickly.

    Thankfully these bullets can be shot down with specific weapons (Laser and Power shots charge-up and beam), but it's not a perfect counter measure.

    The real saving grace is infinite continues, allowing you to restart from a checkpoint or the start of the stage. It does become a bit of an exercise in patience, but the journey has been quite satisfying. I should probably revisit GG Aleste 2 and 3, as those games are also absolutely fantastic.

  7. Battle Garegga on Saturn has a well-known cheat code to activate guest ships from previous Raizing games. But it also enables you to activate more cheat codes during the game, which no one knew about before! Bo has the details in today's Under the Microscope:

  10. Geppy-X, the 1999 PS1 shmup disguised as a 70s super-robot anime, just got a global remaster. The mid-season fake opening switch to Geppy-XX is the greatest commitment to a gag I've ever seen. Cutscenes restored from Betacam masters, but you can still flip to the untouched PS1 originals. Out today on PS5, Switch, PC, Xbox. pocg.net/news/geppy-x-global-r #RetroGaming #PS1 #Shmup

  11. Today on GamerPauly Twitch – 30/06/2026

    Its much cooler today then its been these last few weeks and I'm very happy about this. Germany OUT OF THE WORLD CUP and IM VERY HAPPY (AND PMSL) about this. Back to reviewing today, 2 games from schell games, Enemy Mind an old school shmup and innercube, a colourful block moving puzzle game. Then its brick survivors roguelite, a bat and ball with upgrades, and finally around 4pm GMT, Gobliiins Collection on PS5, an old blast from the Amiga past. Come say hi in the chat!

  12. Finally opened my #RabiRibi PC limited edition. The game code is hidden in a card in a cardboard box, the way the protagonist is found at the start of the game.

    10/10 game, a bit difficult, but a great mix of shmup bosses with Metroidvania gameplay, good humor and countless secrets. And girls.
