In this episode of Bullet Heaven, we review the series' first run-n-gun, and man, is it a classic! Get ready for Gunstar Heroes! As the legendary Treasure's first ever effort, can it shine as brightly as it did in 1993? Daeruna and I tackle it in HD on the PS3!
If you've ever wanted a naval action game crossed with a run-n-gun and fused into a shoot em up, then In the Hunt has you covered! But wait what's this? A serious technical issue?! This warrants investigation!

In the 90's parody shooters were the hot new thing that every company that made shooters had to get on the bandwagon with. Starting with the legendary Parodius, several parody shooters sprung up and saw release mostly in Japan. Jaleco also joined in the fun with Game Tengoku: The Game Paradise in 1995, though all of the properties used were ancient, even at release; the newest game that elements were used from was six years old by the time Game Tengoku reached arcades, and all but one of the original games stayed (officially) in Japan exclusively. It would later be ported to the Sega Saturn in 1997. Is Game Tengoku worth a look after all...?

In this episode of Bullet Heaven, we pit two versions of the same game against one another in a battle of supremacy; The Genesis/Megadrive's Hellfire and the PC Engine CD-ROM2's Hellfire S, both home conversions of the Arcade original by Toaplan. Which version will come out on top??

Last year in Episode 18 of Bullet Heaven, we took a look at the excellent Macross Scrambled Valkyrie for the Super Famicom, a side-story of sorts to the original Macross anime series. With its super tight, fun gameplay and great presentation, it nabbed a pretty decent score.
In 1997, another Macross shooter made it to home console: The Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love?, for the Sega Saturn (and Sony Playstation). Based directly on the 1984 anime classic, can the legendary mech-based story strike gold yet again?
