LOL! This really made me smile. She’s sick of perverts obsessed with oppression and wants to rocket them to the moon. Awesome.

Wild Guns Reloaded on Steam
I recently learned that Wild Guns on the Super Famicom by Natsume has been remade and is available on Steam. I haven’t played this game in over a decade. I have the SNES cartridge but was never able to get it for the SFC. Now it’s been remade with enhanced visuals and music, plus two additional characters (which are pretty meh). the original Clint and Annie are the best characters to play.
Cowboys vs. robots! Neon signs, disco rooms, steampunk contraptions. This is a pseudo 3D shooter, similar to Cabal. A button to shoot, a button to dodge/jump, and another button to ignite a bomb for heavy damage. Tap the shot button to lasso an enemy to stun him. Press the shot button on an enemy up close to activate a melee attack for bonus points.
Shoot bonus items to collect money and limited time shots, such as shotgun, heavy machine gun, bazooka, and this Ghostbusters-esque laser gun.
Cowboys vs. giant robots. Badass. So if Natsume is still around, it’d be nice if they could release their Pocky & Rocky/ Kiki Kaikai games on Steam. This game works flawlessly on my Linux desktop through the Proton utility.
Galaxy Express 999 beer cans!
Check out these FAWESOME beer cans. Galaxy Express 999! Here in Japan, Helios Brewery makes these Maetel, the Conductor, and Emeraldas beers. Still haven’t found Captain Harlock though. These are different types of beer. Maetel’s weizen is fairly light, with a bit of a sharp taste. Cumductor’s Porter is a black beer, very dark and hoppy, with an almost chocolatey taste. I haven’t tried Emeraldas’s red ale yet. There is both a Captain Harlock beer and a whiskey highball that I cannot find in my small town. I might try to find them at Yamaya in Maebashi. It’s a liquor store chain that has an incredible variety of booze as well as plenty of import foods. We sometimes buy tortillas there. It’s the only place I know where I can find Marsala wine, which I use to make our daughter’s favorite pasta cream sauce.
Ex Zodiac, a clone of the 16-bit Star Fox game for Steam
Very cool. This game has yet to be released, but I could download a free demo of the game so far. At first glance, you’d swear that you were watching Star Fox on the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo.
It’s extremely similar in gameplay, although Ex Zodiac adds a lock-on missile attack, which is rather nice.
I haven’t spent a whole lot of time on this game, but it’s pretty fun. It’s available on Steam OS, so it runs natively on my Linux computer.
Steel Assault: a retro ode to Konami and Capcom platformers on Steam
Alright, this is quite a neat game, which hearkens back to the 16-bit/32-bit era of 2D platformer games. Presented in a retro 4:3 aspect ratio (which my computer monitor is, which I prefer), it also has scanlines to enhance the nostalgic, CRT feel to the visuals.
You can cast zip lines to prevent from falling, as well as for climbing to higher platforms.
I find Steel Assault to be rather difficult. You have an energy whip to lash enemies, and can also punch them when up-close. It seems that I just have to die constantly until I figure out the attack patterns of the bosses and mid-bosses because it is pretty unforgiving.
So far I’ve only made it to the 2nd level. Very hard, but fun game. Fortunately, this game is available on Steam OS, so it runs natively on my Linux desktop computer.
