I have never heard of Metamor Jupiter. Sounds interesting.

One of a select few games designed with the PC-Engine virtual cushion in mind!

Soldier Blade is overrated, in my humble opinion. Good game, but Final Soldier is better. Why is the game overpriced? The same reason 90% of the rest of the American games are overpriced..... SB arguably has the best graphics of the series, but the weapon selection is a bit bland compared to FS and for the fourth game in a series, it really offers nothing new in the gameplay department.

I'd give it a rank of "solid," but I can't agree with others that it is the "best HuCard shooter." There are plenty of better cart-based shooters in the American library, and if we're counting the JP library as well, it probably wouldn't even make the top 5.

Glad I'm not alone.

I agree also.

I enjoyed Super Star Soldier more than I enjoyed Final Soldier. I found Final Soldier too easy.

I can't even make it passed the third level in Super Star Soldier. I guess I need to practice more.

This Final Soldier vs. Soldier Blade is all fine and good, but Nexzr beats 'em both.

While not as flashy as the soldier series, I would like to also add:

Twin Cobra and Macross 2036!
and although i haven't played it, why is the much hyped Magical Chase not mentioned???

Jus saw this thread, luv me some shooters...

Blazing Lazers (Gunhead) was the 1st shooter I played, and I highly recommend it.

Soldier Blade is very good, excellent caravan stages.

I also like Image Fight, been battling this one for the past week.

Honorable mentions:
Lost Sunheart
Lords
Gate
Aero Blasters
Final Soldier
Super Star Soldier
R-type
Rabio Lepus
Metal Stoker (not typical shooter, but still fun)

You're really gettin' me hungry for some Twin Cobra!

Macross 2036 cannot be underestimated, either. Such a fun shootie. Graphics are top notch and the boss battles rule.

Hell yeah I love me some Twin Cobra.

Honestly, what's the point of having more weapons to choose from if most of them are utter crap? Soldier Blade's weaponry is more classic but more balanced I think. Anyway, all 3 Soldiers + Gunhed are great.
