    I bought this game for my husband who has childhood memories of not being able to beat it. The curse words coming from the basement while he plays it leave me to believe it is just as impossible now. He loves it, plays for hours.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest side scrolling SNES shooters you never played

    I heard of this growing up but only played the arcade version (SNK Neo Geo, anybody). The arcade game didn't stand out to me and I never seen the SNES version in stores or at the video rental place. That means I wouldn't play this thing until 2011. I have to say, this is one of those rare special games that is so awsome, I have to wonder why I never found it till so late in life? Let us count the ways.

    Play control- This plays alot like gradius or maybe choplifter in that its left to right and sometimes right to left shooting things along the ways. Where this kicks Gradius's ass is, besides cusomizing what you power up, you also get to buy and change jets. Now think Gradius meets Grand Turismo. I had a strong preferance towards the A-10 Warthog. Sure, you're flying a bomber against fighter jets but its the only aircraft that shoots diagnally downwards. You also have a wide array of ordnance that you can buy and equip to each aircraft you have.

    Difficulty- fairly steep. You will get used to starting over often if you spend any amount of time with this. That is the price of the old school for you, though. It is a scientific fact that engeneers have been researching and streamlining games for years to make games impossible to loose at so the normal idiot gamer won't feel like less a man for continuing.

    Why this thing rules over the arcade- It isn't graphics that make this sweet, its the between level stuff. You can choose your next missions and parchase aircraft. These 2 things makes it all worth while. Its one of the few times Nintendo's ass backwards policy of making home ports differant than there arcade counterparts didn't blow up in their face.

    The Bottom line- This is a fine title for any self respecting collector to have in their catalogue. Grab it up today!

    This game is a lot like R-Type or Life Force, and that's a pretty good thing. Only one complaint, it's way too damn hard! If you've ever played Silver Surfer on the NES, you know about hard games, and when stuff is always flying at you. This game is not much different from Silver Surfer. There are a few things that make it better, for one, you have a wider variety of a stage select screen. Two, you can take multiple hits before dying. At a glance, that seems good, like a life bar. The only problem, you need to wait a long time after getting hit once to get hit again, or else you're dead. You also have a number of lives, but let me tell you how this works. On the map screen, you have a small number of targets that work their way to the home base each time you win or die a round. If one group of these enemies you didn't pay attention to reaches the home base, you get three attempts to destroy them, or it's game over. Now, back to the gameplay, it's a hell of a lot like Silver Surfer. By this point, if you haven't played it, you can look up AVGN's review of Silver Surfer on YouTube. There are so many things on screen out to kill you! And if you touch an enemy or a wall, it counts as a hit, and you're close to dying. One thing really disappointing, as I cheat a lot on games like these, is that there is no invincibility cheat for Game Genie! Just an unlimited lives cheat for when they reach the base and a money cheat, that lets you max out your plane's gear. None of that helps with damage, it's just a bunch of weapons you can buy. That's all there is to say, I'm out.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely dissatisfied!

    I received the Super Nintendo cartridge with the UN Squadron label. I was looking forward to playing this game because I have not played it since I was a kid. When I put the game in, Ninja Turtles came on. Please make sure you have the correct label attached to the cartridge so another customer is not disappointed. This will be returned immediately for a refund.

    Great side-scrolling shooter. It is ranked in the 38th on IGN's Top 100 Super Nintendo Games list and it definitely deserves the spot it inhabits. It will keep you enthralled and possibly a little on edge as it provides a steady challenge from beginning to end.

    There are a few really great features in this game which I feel are important to note:

    1. Choice of Pilot: There are 3 choices here and each pilot has a specialty that will dictate how you play.
    NOTE: Whatever pilot you pick is your pilot until you are finished.

    2. Choice of Plane: 6 choices each with their own specialties including direction of shots, power of shots, and what special weapons you can bring. Unlike the pilots, you can change out your plane between missions. The only caveat is that you will have to use the starter plane for a mission or two until you accrue the money to upgrade but that is not a terrible fate.

    3. Choice of Special Weapons: 11 choices. Aside from the standard shot which is fueled with unlimited ammo, these 11 weapons will be your lifelines when it starts getting really rough. You can purchase these weapons after plane selection. An important thing to remember is that if you purchase a special you CAN get a refund if you beat the mission you just bought it for and do not use it during the level. So it is never a bad idea to purchase a special as a backup if you feel confident that you beat the level. If you die however, the money does not return to your bank.

    4. After you complete the first mission there will be choices as to which mission you want to do next. Assuming you pick mission A you beat the first level but lose and want to go somewhere else, well you can as there will be a few other missions and side-missions you can pick.

    Overall this game is a must if you are collecting Snes games or if you are just a gamer who wants a great title for the Snes that will provide a good challenge.
