Asagi: A 12-year-old girl who was the third Galuda to be produced from the project.Espgaluda II begins when they are discovered. At the end of Espgaluda, they were reunited with their mother and lived peacefully after going into hiding.
They were then called Galuda, named after the mythical bird of legend.Īgeha and Tateha were two of the subjects who escaped during the project. Using new found technology, an alchemist named Hiodoshi spearheaded a project called Project Espgaluda, which gathered youths and used them as experimental test subjects for artificial armored wings. Humanity is forced to pull their efforts together for the sake of survival and reforestation. Truly a gem, and the best shmup on Amiga by far.The game takes place in a fictional land called Soma, three years after a massive war known as the Great Shinra War devastated the land and killed most of its plant life. I have no problems with the game, however. The intro is nothing special, the first two stages are excellent, and the credits theme is truly one of Hulsbeck's best. That's exactly the reason why I'm reluctant to give Apidya first prize for shmups category: It basically would mean that Hulsbeck wins all, even when he doesn't surpass himself.Īnd, another thing with Apidya's music is that really just a bunch of tracks are awesome. It's only available on Amiga, and everone should check it out It's my fav horizontal shmup ever together with Space Manbow and Gradius Gaiden. I like some of Zuntata work (Mainly in Raystorm, I love the music of Raystorm), but IMO it's not good as Huelsbeck work.Īnd Apidya is a fine game. Still, being the "4th best soundtrack by Huelsbeck" still makes it the best soundtrack ever in any shmup.
I agree that Apidya is not Huelsbeck best work - This indeed goes for Turrican 2 (Hell, Turrican 2 has the BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER, nothing can compete with it), and both Jim Power and Turrican 3 also has a better soundtrack. Kyukyoku Tiger & Tatsujin (PCE): they're arcade games, but I think the PCE versions sound best. Magical Chase (PCE): cute but wonderful arpeggiated songs. Steel Empire (MD): the first stage's music stuck in my mind for years.ĪSO II / Alpha Mission II (Neo-Geo): GREAT, driving FM music. Terraforming (Duo): I didn't expect it, but this game has some really nice synthy-rock music!Įlemental Master (MD): isn't this considered a shooter? Great music. Shubibin Man 3 (Duo): yes, it's a platformer, but it has a shooting stage, and some of THE BEST music on CD. NEXZR (Duo): the first stage music (among others) is really driving and catchy! Red Alarm (VB): a borderline shmup, but nice techno from a weak sound chip. Recca (Famicom): driving rave music out of the NES! I agree with most of the above games mentioned, so I'll include my favourites from the less-mentioned, commonly overlooked games:
