A Japan exclusive, Dangerous Seed passed under most people's radars, and while it isn't mindblowing, it's solid in just about every respect.

I had a chance to get this a long while ago, but blew it, sadly. When I get a chance to start building up on the SHMUPS collection, this is one of the top verts on my list, right along with Crisis Force.

That would help, wouldn't it?
Fixed.

Would've given this a 7 at most, but the review was definitely a good read.

I rented this back in the day, but I have a hard time remembering anything about it, except the box cover.

My first review
Thanks: I debated for awhile on which rating to go with, 7 or 8, but I was trying to follow the review manifest guidelines as best I could, and I really enjoyed playing the game, despite the power up system's problems. One of the better shmups on the Mega Drive, IMO.

Thanks for reading it, forumers, and thanks for using it, Melf!"Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket..."

The Graphics are a bit dated but this is still a pretty good SHMUP

It's no Dragon Spirit/Saber but it's one import title in my collection that gets a lot of play. The graphics remind me of Galaga 88/90 too.

Before even reading it, my conclusion about this game was the same as the review. It won't win any prizes, but:
Crystal clear and colorful graphics? Check
Good music? Check
3-hit lives? Check
Fast and furious action? Check
Influence from great shoot 'em ups from the early 80s? Check
Good challenge with the corresponding frustration but not being overwhelming? Check
Its main downside? It forces you to restart the level when you die. However, it's a very rewarding experience overall.Last edited by bigladiesman; 02-13-2022 at 08:07 PM.
