[๐M] Chimera mode terrifies me because you know one of these days I'm gonna die after 6 loops not in a blaze of bullets and missiles and glory, but because my ship booped an asteroid.

obscure #shmups - Super Nova aka Darius Force is the 2nd Darius game released on SFC, but since it was renamed for localization not many knew about it, given the generic name. It is quite tough with shots and bombs using the same power source resulting in downgraded shots when using both.

[Revised D-717 Axelay]
An original concept of a spaceship, based on the 1992 SNES video game "Axelay." This concept trades the bulky pods-and-rockets design of the original japanese cover art, or the bulky armor of the USA cover for a sleek, aerodynamic style. The ship is accented in bright red over it's gray panels and black underside. It still has the tall tailfin and forward-swept wings, but shows off a taller pilot canopy, and the nacelles on either side have wings trailing from the back. Bristling with guns, the ship is built for battle!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sbcdj63xcaifrbxlytpatov2/bafkreihjivqwjaegnj6wmgjb5rtxu6ix5yytepqcol44yoicl6biy53fge)

Mermaid boss in Mega Drive shoot 'em up Gaiares.
First boss in Mega Drive shoot 'em up Gaiares.
Gaiares was one of the few shoot 'em ups I got for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive back in the day. Really liked it even though I was terrible at it. Just wish they had kept the Japanese box art.

If Giga Wing felt like a storm, its sequel was a full-blown supernova. Giga Wing 2 took the Reflect Force concept and expanded it into something even more outrageous, with bigger explosions, sharper visuals, and a multiplayer focus that transformed the chaos into a shared spectacle. For the first time, up to four players could dive into the bullet-drenched madness simultaneously, their screens erupting into technicolor firestorms as wave after wave of enemy fire was absorbed and unleashed in retaliatory blasts. The Dreamcastโs hardware made it possible to render these scenes with startling clarity, delivering some of the most visually extravagant bullet curtains of its generation.

Musha aka Metallic Uniframe Super Hybrid Armor A 1990 STG by Compile & Seismic for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive. The mini-boss of stage 4 fires five lasers at once, and the mecha unit can safely sit between them due to its small hurtbox.
Getting more than 2 or 3 lasers to show up at once required some rough editing.
I must call everyone's attention to the MUSHA Unit's tiny hurtbox.
Look how it nestles between FIVE lasers and doesn't even get its paint scratched.
Gorgeous
