(6/19/2014 - 6/25/2014) Game of the Week: Star Parodier
« on: June 18, 2014, 11:29:48 PM »
---------------------------------------------------
June 19 - June 25: Star Parodier
---------------------------------------------------

(Chosen by Inframan)

By the time this game came out in April 1992, the PCE had done more to establish itself as the king of shooters than any other system. When you think about it, is there any other way Hudson could have pulled off such a charming parody?

For the uninitiated, Star Parodier is a parody of the Star Soldier series, which of course was also made by Hudson. You had Star Soldier, Super Star Soldier, Final Soldier and Soldier Blade, and then you had this game.

It is, admittedly, a little on the easy side. Actually, that's an understatement - you might be able to beat it on your first try. But that's all the more reason for you to play it! The neat-o special effects, the pleasant CD music, and the fact that you can actually play as a freakin' PC Engine should also encourage you plenty.

Go ahead and post your high scores!

I hope nobody is stuck without the game.

On that note, for those of you who are interested but haven't submitted a game yet, please do so soon.

I'd really like to have a month's worth of games in the cue ahead of time just so nobody is caught off guard.

I would like to suggest Hana Taka Daka but I don't think many people own the game so not sure if it would work.

Well, if anyone needs the game a quick PM will lead them to a place where the unreleased US version could be had...

So it's settled then, we just need to release the US version ourselves.

So a pressed copy of Motteke Tamago Fantasy Star Soldier could be produced?   :-"

Star Parodier contains so many charming little details that you know a lot of love and attention went into this game.

I haven't played this in many, many years and I am eager to play it.
