I just bought this last week. It's insane!

I'm going to break my TV putting it into Horizontal mode 😛

Rotating LCD + Dreamcast VGA box = the win. 😀

1942 and 1943 were sweet

strikers 1945 and the sequels were the best overhead shooters ever made

i think they were Arcade / Mame only though

ASSAULT

It was an overhead tank game, mid-80s, i believe. The controls were two parallel joysticks. Cool game!

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Raptor and this game are the best.

 

[Phoenix86]

Contra was a classic.

 

[KeepItRed]

Starcraft or Army Men. 😀
