The games in this half are pretty interesting.
I do find P-47 a little slow for my liking and a bit boring, but that's alright. It's competent and has some variety compared to the other shoot-em-ups on here, because the subweapon mechanic is pretty cool.
The Astyanax is so different from the console version - how did they even come up with that one? My only issue with this game is that it seems like it was just meant to eat quarters - it seems impossible to truly avoid even a lot of the damage there. Artificial difficulty like that rubs me the wrong way, even with unlimited credits. It's not a bad game at all, and it's enjoyable, but that's in the back of my mind still.
Saint Dragon is a very interesting game! It's hard but not unfair. The shielding mechanic with your tail is very cool! If only the game had autofire though... xD
And Rod Land is like I expected. Similar to Tumplepop, it's a fun and challenging game with amazing graphics and music. I really like this game!
Overall, a very fine collection! Many interesting games on it, and even the shoot-em-ups have enough variety that they don't all feel the same. :D
