Man your tempting me to show off my shmup collection on the Genesis as well. I'm only like 5 to 6 titles left from having a complete shmup collection for the system and that also covers Japanese releases. I already have titles like Eliminate Down and Slap Fight down.
 
Eliminate Down is awesome, sadly I only have a repro of it. I'm a huge fan of Gleylancer myself.

Wow pegboy. Some impressive skills. I never would have made it past the 2 purple enemies on level one. 

Yeah Pegboy is inhuman. I've watched quite a few of his runs and they're all insane.  ]]> Imperium on SNES http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=149587 2015-07-09T05:54:32 -05.00 85collector 14 ]]> Imperium on SNES http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=149587 2015-07-08T22:11:49 -05.00 85collector 14 Imperium on SNES http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=149587 2015-07-08T21:43:28 -05.00 85collector 14 Originally posted by: Thunderblaze16

Eliminate Down down? That's awesome, I have a handful of the Genesis shmups but not approaching a full set. While we're on underrated games, what do you think of Steel Empire? A very solid and cool-looking shooter, I think.

I recorded a no-death run of hard about a month ago for this one:

I do agree that this is one of the underrated shmups on the SNES, it's actually very playable and also quite challenging and pretty long ~50 minutes. Even though graphically it appears to be a straight rip-off of MUSHA it's mechanics are entirely different with the experience system tied to your score. The soundtrack is also pretty good, honestly I'm surprised it still sells for as cheap as it does consider it's pretty uncommon on top of all that.
Wow, that's something! It is pretty hard. I didn't even realize it had a 'continue' feature the first time I played because it replays the intro first haha. I forgot already about the RPG-esque score/upgrade bit, which is also cool. I suppose it's cheap because it's just not that well known - I had actually never heard of it till I saw the eBay listing and I know shmups pretty well too
