Why? Because they suck? What does that statement even mean, really?

The stuff Dragon Saber does occasionally annoys me, but it's certainly nothing out of the ordinary and was relatively common in many types of games at the time. It's probably good that you haven't played many of those other games, either, given how much those annoyances seem to get to you. I'm sorry you don't like Dragon Saber. It must not be the right game for you. Play something else. I won't hold it against you if you do.

Thank you Truxton.

@Spenoza
No, because they are difficult in a fair way and will not annoy you. Also, you won't have to deal with retarded issues that experienced Shmup developers would not even dare overlook.
In other words, If you lose in a game, you will blame yourself for your incompetence, and not the developers.

I personally like the game.  I have played far worse shooters than Dragon Saber.  I don't even think Dragon Saber is a bad game, it's just a typical shooter from the late 80's early 90's.  I don't blame a game that I have a hard time beating from design flaws.  Yeah it affects gameplay,  but there should still be a way to beat it.  My qestion for the main poster is when did you first start playing shooters?  I know I will probably not get a legit answer, but my guess is you started with bullet hell shooters that had super mega tiny hit boxes.  Probably a Cave game or some other shooter like Giga Wing or Mars Matrix.  Playing games like that and then going to the old school stuff makes people way less forgiving to older shooters.

Started with Gate of Thunder, and worked my way through other 16-bit shooters.

I never played that one. But Thunder Force III is pretty easy.

ddd1234 I'm suprised you had difficulty with Dragon Saber as just remembered in this thread http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=9450.msg165027#msg165027
you said you clocked Super Star Soldier on your second go of the game.
 :D

But i was able to beat SSS on my 2nd go without losing more than 1 life.


Sounds like you have some very impressive Shmup skills, you should put together some Super Play DVDs.
