Silpheed

The Good
In another review, Mirrorshades2k wrote: "Would have been nice to have some sort of 'code' so that if you get rather far but then have to go eat dinner, you can restart the game and start back on the level you reached." The game has this feature. You can restart the game from the last level played OR from the highest level played.

In another review, RmM wrote: "Well the sounds are a bit drab, and so are some of the graphics too." Personally, it was the best music EVER heard on any video game at the time. Silpheed supported the Roland MT-32 sound system. To quote from the Featured Article Ten of the Best Games You've Ever Played in regards to the sounds of Silpheed: "If you're lucky enough to own an MT-32, your starship-blasting experience will be augmented by some of the most catchy music ever to be heard in a PC action game."

The game rocks, the graphics were decent (as good as you could expect for a fast paced shooter, remember PCs were VERY slow back then), the sound was above and beyond what anyone would expect, the gameplay was superb, and the style of shooter and the style of weapons were both original ideas, and worked well.

The Bad
Nothing. It was a great shooter.

The Bottom Line
A very good PC shooter for its time.
