  1. Today I looked it up and I am convinced: #StarFox is a #shmup.

    In both #StarFox and classic #ShootEmUps like #RType, the #player controls the same two axes, left, right, up and down. The #game moves you forward automatically in both cases, whether the screen scrolls sideways or into the depth.

    A true "rail #shooter" would be something like #VirtuaCop, where you have zero movement #control and only aim. #StarFox gives you full freedom on two axes. The label "rail shooter" is simply inaccurate.

    #StarFox is a #3D shmup. That is all.

  15. Before Season/Series 4 begins next Monday the 17th, see the newest @segaguys video if SEGA's light-gun classic #VirtuaCop can be controller-enjoyable too. 🎮 ⬇️

    🆕️ @segaguys video!
    Virtua Cop is a pioneer, an icon and a classic when it comes to light gun game, and the Saturn port is an absolute marvel.

    But is it still as great when played with a controller?

  17. Reload!!

    Este videojuego lo conocí en PC, era una gozada jugarlo con el ratón.

    Años despues lo pude jugar en Saturn con una pistola compatible.
