one of my new favorite sites to waste time at\u2026shmups<\/a>! its a site for classic shoot\u2019em-ups (shmups, duh), and i can\u2019t help but get nostalgic going thru some of the classics. and when i say classics, i mean classics of my<\/i> era. i\u2019m not talking about dinky atari or collecovision. we\u2019re in the sega genesis, snes, and dreamcast era. definitely a formative era of gaming. i was a big fan of the side-scrollers back when i had a sega genesis (1st gen too). thunderforce iii, gaiares, hellfire<\/i>, and one of my all-time favorites to this day, musha<\/i>, one of the best shooters\u2026evar. i fucking hate that i sold my entire genesis collection. wtf was i thinking?!?! what makes it even more painful was that i used to enjoy taking out the box art and replacing it with my own hand-drawn versions\u2026golden axe, altered beast, revenge of shinobi, streets of rage<\/i>. god i wish i still had those. now all those memories are relegated to uploaded videos on youtube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

i\u2019ll admit, i shed a tear watching the intro and ending. *sniff<\/i>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n
