Obscure Arcade Rail Shooter SHMUP! Invasion Abductors! MAME Xtreme! Mini Classics!
My personal favorite Arcade Rail Shooter has always been Carnevil! I have made it a point to have a computer AND video card, adequate enough to play it on my PC, as far back as the earlier 2000s! Along comes another SHMUP, which I was actually not aware of, until more recently...None other than Midway's Invasion: The Abductors! This is the first one in many years to truly stand out as a fun and creative rail shooter!
Here it is, Stress Test of it Hyper Boost running on the Mini Classics, albeit, with a few bugs to still iron out! But, doing what I can to get it into as playable a state as possible, for Final Release! Don't expect a miracle! But, it DOES now work! It won't work on ALL of the Mini Classics, unfortunately! Now, it is just a matter of how WELL I can get it to work without game breaking bugs on the Minis that CAN run it!
There was a time when I went to Dave & Buster's with my wife, and we played a bunch of Rail Shooters! MOST of them were either able to be played on MAME, or were on the Nintendo Wii. Me buying a Nintendo Wii was an entirely different story! They were incredibly difficult to obtain at that point:) But, I lucked out in finding one in stock at a mall approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes away from me! The guy said he couldn't hold it! But, he did, anyways! When I got there and went to pay for it with my credit card, I had forgotten to bring my driver's license..So, they wouldn't allow me to buy it! BUT, I simply went to an ATM in the mall, got money out, paid in cash:) So, got our Wii that day:) And, I STILL have all of those incredible Rail Shooters!
What is YOUR favorite rail shooter SHMUP!!!?
