>Konamis classic 1981 shooter>sets the rules for classic side scrolling shmups that everybody copied>never mentioned everhuh? this game should stand among the legends of gaming.pay your respects here.
Every Gradius game with a flashback intro acknowledges Scramble as a precursor to Gradius. Now Super Cobra is a forgotten Konami title.
As for me, it's Caverns of Mars
River Raid introduced a twist on the "shoot the fuel tanks to refuel" standard set by Scramble, by having you choose between touching the tanks to refuel or shooting them for points.
>>12242867I'm more of a Defender kind of guy
>>12242867I liked that you could still hit fuel tanks as you were hurtling down after running out of fuel.
>>12242878>Now Super Cobra is a forgotten Konami title.It's just Scramble hard mode
>>12242867>child outs itself as ignorant>demands others do something because of its ignoranceThis is why everyone hates you. Well one of the many reasons.
>>12242906>Caverns of MarsI got insanely good at that game. Very cool how the caverns progressed with difficulty and how a good clear made escape easier.
>>12242947Aliens stealing my candy corn
>>12242867This game on the Vectrex is awesome. Simple, but demands skill, timing, and precision. Probably my favorite on the system.
>>12242947I am into the multiplayer more than most of you. Strikeforce was fucking badass.
>>12242878>everyHuh? Gradius III didn't
>>12242867Scorched earth got swindled by worms
>>12243845Scorched Earth wasn't all that original either, artillery games dated back to the 70s. Worms was best on the Amiga IMO
>>12242867Ah so that's the actual cancerous game that ruined any hope of shmups being actually goodGood to know
>>12242947am I the only one who thinks Defender has too many necessary buttons and is badly designed?
>>12243438
Scrambles bombing precision actually mattered and is a skill in the game, the likes of R-Type and Graduis bombing just became button bashing fire and forget.
>>12244502It's not that bad, given that they were just figuring things out. It's the first side-scrolling shmup, after all.I agree that thrust and reverse being mapped to buttons instead of the ship simply moving with left/right, like they eventually did in Strike Force, is a bit annoying.
>>12243785its certainly the best looking version, my video doesnt do it justice you gotta see that vector screen in the flesh, its almost biologicalhttps://youtu.be/cs9v_bArDLc?si=xKy4sXhpEUMVF0u1
anyone remember Parsec, the Texas Instruments Ti994A version of Scramble?or am I the only person left alive?
>>12244503>grownups laugh at me because they're butthurt
it's probably just too old
>>12245360Yes exactly like that, be mad at sime guy you don't know and will never actually care about
>>12247128>it's still imagining anyone is mad. Mad at "sime guy" even.
