Shooting Gameside Vol. 0
- New Japanese Import |
|
|
NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX»
After printing three volumes of Shooting Gameside,
the publisher goes back and prints Vol. 0 because
they forgot to do it. Or something like that. Volume
0 is actually a compilation of shooter articles and
vignettes from the original 'Gameside' magazine
(defunct as of July 2010) which are
reprinted along with some new content. The
magazine was released in late 2011 but our vendors
finally filled our request this week. The contents
of Vol. 0 are as follows:
» Aesthetics of Shooting Game feature which
looks back at the graphical stylings of classic
shooters including Galaga, Xevious, Gradius, Space
Invaders, and more.
» Namco Arcade Feature STG which checks out
the publisher's shmup gameography: Galaxian, Galaga,
Gaplus, Galaga '88, Bosconian, StarBlade, Xevious,
Solvalou, Grobda, Baraduke, Baraduke II, Skykid,
Ordyne, Dragon Spirit, Dragon Saber, Phelios,
Assault, Burning Force, Cosmo Gang: The Video, and
Cyber Sled.
» A retrospective on the Gradius series of
games and the different conversions on various
consoles through the decades.
» Darius retrospective which remembers the
original game, Darius II, Sagaia, Darius Force,
Darius Gaiden, G-Darius, Darius Burst, Darius Burst:
Another Chronicle, and Darius R.
The magazine spans 161 pages and most of the content is in color
but there's some black & white pages to peruse. |
