Unfair bullet-hell fluff designed to bilk impressionable children out of quarters with unwinnable scenarios and wonky controls.1 found this helpful
This game kicks my monkey butt, but I keep coming back for more.1 found this helpful
Decent port of Truxton. I did notice the audio can be a bit funky but it plays well and the rewind feature is really helpful in learning the game.
First ran into this with Evercade's Toaplan collection. The booklet that came with the cart had a bit of a weird story about one of the company member's story about another company member talking about the game Originally I bought the cart for Wing Zero... but I found love with Truxton. As it is an awesome game Decided to buy it again on Steam The Achievements on Steam are actually pretty decent for encouraging people to play the game Highly recommend this game
This game is great! ive actually beaten this game on the Megadrive once it was very rewarding and fun! what is good here though is the rewind feature! if you are new to these types of games its difficulty and challenge wont stop you from enjoying it! and believe me, they throw alot of curveballs to you know squeeze those coins from you at the arcade.... but here is a comfortable version that you can play through for the fun of it!
Great classic arcade shooter, tough as nails but a lot of fun if you put in the training.
