One Credit, Zero Continues Tuesday: Ristar
It’s no Pulseman, but I’m still decently fond of this Sega Genesis platformer.

Now that I think of it, there were quite a number of shooters from this game era whose names began with the word “Super” and nonetheless weren’t on the SNES…
And we follow up last week’s game with its predecessor!
And a full playthrough on the easier difficulty, to boot:
Does one short video seem like too little? Then I’ll add this in too:
I already did a full playthrough of Bonk’s Revenge, but now it’s time to step back to the series’ origins and see how far I can go without hitting the dreaded Game Over screen!
It’s almost like a repeat of last week: one horizontal game I really suck at followed by a Star Soldier game that I don’t.
I’m not nearly as good at either game as last week’s selection—which doesn’t make a terribly noticeable difference with R-Type III, but I do rack up deaths a lot quicker in Soldier Blade than Super Star Soldier. But maybe that simply makes it more exciting!
I do love Gunstar Heroes, the second Virtual Console game I bought—in fact, it’s probably one of my three favorite Genesis games—but I sure do suck at it. And I’ll own up to that fact with video proof!
No matter how pitiable and hysterical my Gunstar suckitude might be, though, I can’t in good conscience leave you with under twelve minutes of gameplay. So here’s a double dose of a game I really love and actually know how to play: Super Star Soldier on its two hard difficulty levels: Go Go Enemys (sic) and Amazing!
Do enjoy the action goodness.
