     @stdsxezat Bastichb64k really praised Zaxxon in his monumental documentary on the arcade games of the '80s:

     @codewiz It was a noticeable game, but not a great game to play, at least for me. Maybe the perspective thing looks appealing now, but in terms of gameplay I didn't like it.

     @tagomago My favorite shoot 'em up of all times remains R-Type (also featured in that documentary).

     @codewiz Yeah, I'm torn on that, I think I couldn't choose between for instance Nemesis (Gradius), Zanac Ex, Laydock and maybe others... Not even my favorite genre actually 😁

     @tagomago Gradius is almost a clone of R-Type... It's more obvious in Gradius 3:

     @codewiz Actually Gradius was released 2 years earlier than R-Type?
