Gaming Looking for spaceshooter like Zanac, Recca etc.

dionio · Feb 17, 2009

Hi there,
I'm looking for a good space shooter game like Zanac and Recca on the NES and Space Megaforce on the SNES.
There is a game in Retro Challenge but i'm looking for a standalone Space shooter. Does someone know a game with this genre?

Thanks in advance!

Space Invaders Extreme?

With space invaders you stay in the same screen, if you know what i mean.
With the game i mentioned you fly over some land ( sometimes with ground troups ) and finally you get to boss wich is hard to kill.

this is zanac: http://nintendo8.com/game/585/zanac/

Like that. But then with better graphics ofcourse.

Space Invaders EXTREME has bosses, and it isn't the same enemy formation of enemies over and over again.

Ikaruga and gradius : D Though neither of these are on the DS i guess, could play some gradius games with a snes/nes/gba(?) emulator though.

XG Blast maybe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkLbnO_V3ys

Thank you! and this topic may be closed

Nanostray? From what I gather it's a little more 3D-ified than what you had in mind but it might be close enough.

And Amazon threw up somehting called Underwater Attack, can't find much information about it though so no idea if it's rubbish.

Tyrian is a million times better than Nanostray 1 or 2.

Not familiar with Tyrian. What console is it on?

I think there is a homebrew port of the game.
