After not having much luck with Gekisha Boy I finally put some serious time in today and beat it. This game is definitely in a catagory all its own, im not sure what you would call it. I've been mainly playing Japanese titles that haven't been played much or at all.
Gekisha Boy was originally titled:
Operation Wolf: Sharpshooter...since Gekisha Boy requires the precise skills and temperance of a sniper, not a trigger-happy idiot with an Uzi.
This was a decade before it was commonplace for fraternity brothers to yell "headshot!" before, during and after playing video games/masturbating.
Gekisha Boy is from the era when photography was a skilled art (only a roll of film in your holster), unlike today's trigger-happy idiots who treat their camera like an Uzi and their subjects like collateral damage.
Gekisha Boy belongs in the genre of "Miscellaneous Shoot-em-up"
...but we all know that it deserves more respect, as I press "send" to have this post automatically and simultaneously published on my Bookface, Instaham, Snapshat, Twit, etc. accounts.
