Jess Ragan Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Ooh, nice choice! I'll get on that over the weekend. By the way, Gun*Nac is itself a spinoff of the Zanac series. It's almost a parody, in the same way that Paradious was a humorous version of Gradius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Wow, this game's got a crazy difficulty level. It jumps from stupidly easy to viciously hard after the third level. I blame the enemies that explode into a dozen pieces, which all head straight for your ship. How are you supposed to survive that barrage? Anyway, the high score. I think I reached the final boss, but I can't say for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
