One of the greatest shooters ever made - especially in it's original arcade form.

39. Rygar: The Legendary Adventure - Tecmo - PS2 - 2002

Tecmo's fantastic sequel to the arcade and NES classics, Rygar: The Legendary Adventure is a masterpiece of gameplay, graphics and music. Sure, it may be a little short, but with all of the secrets and extras to find and unlock, you'll be coming back and playing this one for a long time to come. I know I will. ^_^

38. Gradius IV: Resurrection - Konami - Arcade - 1998

I'd heard a lot of complaints about Gradius IV before I played it - but after playing it, I have to admit I can't see what they're bitching about. This is a great game! To top it all off, it was bundled with Gradius III on one disc for release here in the U.S. Fantastic.

37. Sexy Parodius - Konami - Sega Saturn - 1996

I love this game. Wacky Japanese humor, gorgeous graphics, fantastic gameplay (of course - it's a parody of Gradius) and references to every Konami series created since the company started - what's not to love?

36. Burning Force - Namco - Sega Genesis - 1990

Space Harrier with a twist, and seeing as how I love Space Harrier to begin with, you can imagine why this one ranks so high on my list. Too bad it's not very well known.

35. Super Metroid - Nintendo - SNES - 1994

It's everything the original Metroid was - but about 10,000 times better.

34. Ghouls 'N Ghosts - Capcom - Arcade - 1988

The only game in the G'NG series that I like better than the phenomenal SNES game. The Genesis version was great, but the original arcade version is the best.

33. Salamander 2 - Konami - Arcade - 1996

Another Gradius side story - and a jaw-dropping one at that. Too bad it's a bit on the easy side... good thing it's incredibly fun to play.

32. Monster Party - Bandai - NES - 1989

One of my favorite NES games, this quirky little offbeat title is known for being exceedingly strange, but very fun to play.

31. The Revenge Of Shinobi - Sega - Sega Genesis - 1989

One of the games that cemented my decision to buy a Genesis, and still an absolute blast to play to this day.
