In the Hunt

[NeoSneth]

There's Silent Service on NES, Sub Rebellion on PS2 (cool game), Sega's submarine game also playable on Saturn port of Die Hard Arcade, Taito's first person Battle Shark, 688 on Genesis, and a great NES sub game that I just can't remember that was supposedly inspiration for In the Hunt.

Sqoon
Aqua Kitty
Submarine Attack SMS
Steeldiver DS - it's kinda similar

In The Hunt is a cool game. It should have gotten more players for Shmup of the Month in February.

GregN, you should be ashamed.

EDIT: Just looked it up- the other Metal Slug-like game was 'Gunforce 2', seen here: (Tell me this game isn't like Metal Slug, lol)

There are several grungy looking irem titles, Undercover Cops, Armed Police Unit Gallop.. more I'm sure.

Not sure about the others, but I know the PS1 version of DDP doesn't register a hit for uncovering bees which dramatically affects the scoring and combo system.

The saturn port is pretty inaccurate too, at least as far as chaining paths go.

Fuck yeah! I love Gunforce 2! the first stage boss is dramatic as hell.
