The best version of Fire Shark that you will ever be able to play. Multiple regions, multiple country versions, no input lag, crisp graphics, rotating screen, super compatibility with arcade stick. All at a very low price. Truly a labor of love! Thank you so much for bringing all these Toaplan gems to steam!
A great game with the caveat that the arcade mode is ridiculously hard, but then again that instensity and ridiculousness is all part of the mad fun. If, like me, youre not a superplayer and sometimes like to try and clear a shooter then the game has an easy mode fortunately and, in this case, there's absolutely no shame in going for this. I've had the M" console port for ages and can't see any issues with this port -It's good.
It's the familiar Toaplan's vertical shooter with all their favourite set-pieces. But now you can pick up three types of main weapons of different colours. (Which of course turns the colours you don't like into mines.) The weapons can be improved a couple of times by collecting three power-ups each. Your default speed suck and it must be improved by picking up s-power-ups. The bombs have low range, low damage, delay, and don't wipe the screen as a defensive option. The enemies can come out and attack you from below. You die in one hit, while milliards of enemies want to ram you. The graphics are pretty noisy it's very easy to miss incoming damage because it's covered by two or three other sprites. It's a typical pay 2 win arcade coin-racket scam to pray on vulnerable kids with gambling addiction. It's made not for players to play, but for owners of gambling drug dens to profit. Each player's death directly fills their wallets, so of course there's nothing even remotely fair in this game. On death you lose your guns and speed, to make sure you die even faster next time, and have no chance to recover. But this is a great release you can rebind and multi-bind the keys. There’s different difficulty and “assist” options. You can become a sportsmen and train to beat this not very long unfair game created to racket kids’ coins on one life. You can insert infinite virtual coins. You can use save-games between the levels. Or you can rewind. There are sufficient display options. There are no stupid baked-in envelopes for the render, and there’s screen rotation option, allowing you to properly play it on your 3//4 vertical screen.
東亜没落の遠因を作った鬼畜シュー。 だがラスボスは達人王 89年から90年ってホント難易度やばいというか。 その難易度調整が嫌がらせなのよ。 グラIII ダラII R-II そして鮫3 極めつけはパロだ! そりゃ廃るわ。
No matter what version of the original arcade game you play, it's brutal. This is functionally okay, but as usual the emulation is subpar and there are some noticeable issues with the added features that take away your focus. My favorite version of the game remains the Genesis port, which is a lot fairer anyway.
I had the "Fire Shark" cartridge on the 16-bit Sega Mega Drive console. I never managed to beat my dad at it; he was a true champion. I enjoyed watching him play all day. This nostalgic memory remains with me. - - - - - - - - - - Avevo la cartuccia "Fire Shark" sulla console Sega Mega Drive 16-bit. Gioco in cui non sono mai riuscito a battere mio padre, era un vero campione. Mi divertivo a guardarlo giocare per tutto il giorno. Questo ricordo nostalgico mi accompagna ancora oggi.
デフォルトは2Pバージョンですが、メニューから極悪の1Pバージョンを 選べます。30年以上前のアーケード版を忠実に移植してくれている模様。 難しすぎてクソゲーの一歩手前。。好きな人はドウゾといった感じ。
I really liked this one. The flamethrower made me feel so powerful!
Fire Shark está de volta dos Arcades pela Bitwave Games trazendo coop e a sua dificuldade agora nos PC. Super recomendado em promoção. https://youtu.be/Pr3xGvBKmn8
Not my favorite Toaplan shooter personally but still a fun game for fans of the genre. Deceptively hard and the flamethrower is so fun! Love the rewind feature too. Solid port.
