My favorite shoot-em-up of all time on the Amiga is _Battle Squadron_. I got it for $10 at Electronics Boutique and have also seen it for the same price in Software Etc. I also have _Awesome_ which I paid about $40 for and is OK but doesn't compare IMO with _Battle Squadron_. Would another _Battle Squadron_ lover out there who knows other good shoot-em-up titles let me know what they are? I've heard _Silkworm_ is good. I'm really interested, though, to hear from others who feel as I do, that Battle Squadron is incredible. I love the action and the fact that two players can play at the same time. ( Mark )

Battle Squadron is good, but once I beat it.....Anyway some of my favorite shoot-em-ups are Z-Out and Denaris. Yah , I know, Denaris is just a clone of R-Type but to me its a lot better.\ By the way, I had high hopes for White Sharks, but alas it didn't quite live up to them. Good graphics but no gameplay. -MIC

IS IT GOOD ? ------------------------------------------ Michel Buffa: Projet Robotvis, INRIA, France Internet: buffa@sardaigne.inria.fr Surface Mail: Michel BUFFA, INRIA - Sophia Antipolis, 2004, route des Lucioles, 06565 Valbonne Cedex -- FRANCE Voice phone: (33) 93.65.78.39, Fax: (33) 93 65 77 65 ------------------------------------------

I find Datastorm to be MUCH better. (also much better than Anarchy and the other one with two names...Revenge of Defender and something else). -- Dan Babcock
