Gunstar Hereos

[Bert69]

I was wondering what VC game to purchase, as I still have a mega drive with an array of games, and also a snes emulator and remembered a wicked game on the mega drive called gunstar heroes. I was just wondering if anybody remembers this game, and what the general consensus was about it?

Enjoyable game by all accounts (this site is a good one for reviews on the VC).

Alternatively, might I make a humble representation in favour of TG16 games. There are some absolutely classic side/overhead scrolling shooters available (the original R-Type, Gunhead etc) which are well worth checking out, Lords Of Thunder (TG16 CD Rom) is a recent VC release which is highly regarded.

i loved gunstar heroes back in the day but find it a little bit repetitive these days for a couple of quid more you could pic up a copy of the metal slug collection (check out foo's review)

i have still enjoyed playing it though just not upto my memories of old (seems like the case for many of my vc downloads though so might just be me)

like bede i fully recomend r-type though it's a classic

Cheers guys, I shall be floating around the wii VC later tonight, at least I can make an informed decision now.

Lylat Wars on the N64 is also a classic available on the VC, 1 of the best games on the system imo and still good to play today.
