Feels good to be back

Wish it were easier to play the English localizations inside Saturn Taito games Battle Garegga and Bubble Symphony? A hacker named KoolFiller has you covered with these new patches:

WinoFly– various screens and edits

This is a Galaxian-like game where you move left and right. And shoot. And the theme is flies. Various colorful and cheerful sprites. And Windows 3.11 design. I've now improved the menu. There's font scaling. And a menu for selecting the screen scale. It is, after all, a vertical shooter.

Today I looked it up and I am convinced: #StarFox is a #shmup.

In both #StarFox and classic #ShootEmUps like #RType, the #player controls the same two axes, left, right, up and down. The #game moves you forward automatically in both cases, whether the screen scrolls sideways or into the depth.

A true "rail #shooter" would be something like #VirtuaCop, where you have zero movement #control and only aim. #StarFox gives you full freedom on two axes. The label "rail shooter" is simply inaccurate.

#StarFox is a #3D shmup. That is all.
