I love this game by Capcom. It blows away any other game of 1987 in terms of techology, and in terms of playability is among the best platform games of all time. No need to talk about graphic and sounds: absolutelly briliant. The only thing I'm missing is a second scroll, for the background. I hope some day there's somebody able to hack it and make a remake with improved graphics and two parallax scrolls. For me, Capcom was one of the best videogame companies of the late eighties and the beginning of the nineties. Games like Blacktiger, the outstanding Forgotten Worls and the CPS1 games are good examples. Then they came with CPS2, which I have never seen in action, but the screens look excellent. I hope somebody release a emu soon. But, talking of action platform games (one of my fac genres), could you tell me of any other good games like Blacktiger, but more recent? There are some good games in this style like Magic Sword, but it lacks the incredible playability of Blacktiger, with the possiblity to jump and move horizontalty and vertically, climbing the columns and shooting at the same time... In case you don't know, there's another modern platform game that noone should miss: Biomechanical Toy. It's a Spanish game made in 1995, and it's one of the best I've tried. Good graphics, lots of action, excelent animation and playability (I love that multidirectional high-cadency autofire). It works better with Raine.
