I think this is more of a nostalgia trip for people who had the original because I was so unimpressed that I didn't even finish playing.

Plus how many options are there if you want a 2-player shmup on your iPad? I can't think of any others Drexiel Well-Known Member Oct 27, 2011 1,702 0 0 Commercial Diver Ponce, PR #9 Drexiel, Feb 15, 2012 good enough reasons, but the reason i didn't like this game is that i played on the ipod.... and the screen orientation sux.... i like almsot every shmup i find... but this on the ipod sucked... slewis7 Well-Known Member Apr 6, 2011 3,775 41 48 Male Retired!
