 |  Re: Whats the BEST Plus/4 shooter?
Many of the programs listed by Luca run on C16 and technically never even got close to what the plus/4 is capable of.
I like POD but it's not a classical "SHMUP", is it? It's more like a mixture between Space Invaders and Centipede etc.
I played SPACE PILOT a lot with friends before I got my own machine. We always played it like that... One player fired and the other once controlled the space ship.
Honestly, I think you can EASILY beat anything shmupish on plus/4 so far. That's probably the most unconsidered genre on plus/4 due to the lack of sprites. Therefore, to find some real competition you have to look on other systems. I know, it's probably unfair to compare a spriteless platform to one that supports hardware sprites. Nevertheless, I think YOU can beat even some C64 classics.
I once dreamt that I got a disk with R-Type for plus/4. I was really frustrated when I woke up and realised that it was just a dream :D
