 er, because it's the game play that matters.
 3D is just another way of looking at something.  A bad game is still
 going to be a bad game, even in 4D-sensurround.
 As 2D shooters go, Stargunner is about as good as they get for the
 PC.
 Doesn't quite hold up against shooters like Soldier Blade or AeroBlaster
 or R-Type 1 & 2 or Raiden or whatever for the PC-Engine platform... but
 /that/ thing is king of the shooters anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
 Stargunner compares well to R-Type, more or less.  And the SG music is
 better.
