Seriously folks, the shmup genre was one area where we really didn’t have too much of a good thing. Well, boulder dash I say! Shmups were highly popular at the time, true, but they were also a welcome change from the mass of Sonic clones that goose-stepped their way through the industry (no that was a glut). Somehow, Sega’s little black box is literally buried beneath a mountain of planet-saving craft and power ups. Players: 1 Released: 1994Įvery time the subject of shmups comes up on message boards or in casual conversation (you’d think people would have other things to talk about), someone always has to mention the supposed “glut” of games filling the category on the Genesis. There are also animated cut scenes that tell the story of Bari-Arm.Genre: Shmup Developer: Big Fun Games Publisher: Human Ent. There are several stages ranging from asteroid belts, planet surfaces, underwater and finally the alien mothership with each stage containing an enormous boss the player must defeat to advance to the next level. The gameplay is a side-scrolling shooter, similar to R-Type, where the player takes control of a space fighter that can morph into a cyborg called Bari-Arm and has an arsenal of weaponry to take down enemy ships including the Thundercracker, Burning Wave and the Chase Cannon along with picking up health and power-ups left behind by destroyed enemies. They have assembled a massive fleet that has crushed any opposing ship that has been sent their way and has started to attacking colonies stationed on nearby planets with a collision course to Earth and it is up to the player to stop them.
In Android Assault an alien species called the Xias have targeted human beings for extermination.
