(/quote)<br /><br />YES! That is *so* right.<br />It's just a pity that unlike those 2 titles, a port to Wiiware/XBLA is unlikely, as the poor guy's just exhausted after 3 years solo work!<br /><br />PS: If anyone wants some more insights into the making of Hydorah, and the 1st information about Locomalito's next game, you'll find them here:<br />http://justonemoregame.wordpress.com/2010/07/26/cmon-baby-do-the-locomalito/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-38043034017209943752010-06-22T12:41:09.100-04:002010-06-22T12:41:09.100-04:00The making of Hydorah:

That gunship straight out of Cybernator brings back memories. ^_^ BTW for anyone else who wants to see the NSFW Strike Witches images, they're at the link on the bottom of the menu frame. However unless you work with sensitive Christian children, they're not really that bad. Thanks for teasing us with pr0n and not delivering, HG101!

I will be downloading and playing the living hell out of these!<br /><br />I, too, think that horizontal shmups that have a sort of "gee whiz" set piece feel to them, like R-Type or Gradius, are kind of overlooked these days. While curtain fire and crazy score attack shmups definitely distill the gameplay down to some really pure elements, and that can be fun, playing a shmup just because it's goddamn cool or fun is something I've missed.<br /><br />I wish we could use our forum profiles to post here, haha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-91421296937856790802010-06-12T13:46:52.656-04:002010-06-12T13:46:52.656-04:00I am definetely going to try out Hyadorah.

However, unlike those games, this is not a bullet hell with a billion fireworks going on in the background, it's more like Gradius (well, in the way that it's a classic shmup). That's awesome. The internet is eager to impugn lesser known games and give high praise to CoD and SMB3. It's kinda one sided, really. HEROCORE looks pretty cool though, seems like a ZX Spectrum game (although I don't think those had music?).<br /><br />BTW, couldn't you transform into a ship in the Guardian Legend?Anup Chagamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146959319739288607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-20017436905531989982010-06-12T10:36:27.938-04:002010-06-12T10:36:27.938-04:00That 1st one looks amazing, and I'm not really...That 1st one looks amazing, and I'm not really a shmup kinda guy!<br /><br />A few more rather good shmups are hidden away on this list:<br />http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/Freeware_Games<br />Although it's a big range of types, a few are maybe worth looking at (ChoRenSha 68K, TUMIKI Fighters and Exception just to name a few).<br /><br />Hope to see more features like this in the future, seperating the good from the bad in the freeware game is a difficult one.
