It was given the boot by Carmack because of some graphical effect he didn't like. He later admitted he shouldn't have rejected it. The result was the crippled port that the Saturn got.

retroking1981 wrote:Yeah great game. The Mega Drive and PC Engine get all the plaudits when it comes to shoot em ups, but I'd say the top 5 SNES ones hold their own against the best from those. Main problem with the SNES is after those top tier handful there's a huge drop off, MD/PCE had much more.
retroking1981 wrote:Yeah that's about the lot, I'd add Axelay and Aero Fighters to that list but honestly can't think of any others. There are a few Parodius sequels though, buy they only came out in Japan. Gradus III and Super R-Type suffered from being early releases, they would have made the list had the developers had a bit more experience with the hardware.
