so, playing the zsnes, not having earthbound, i was playing some gradius 3.
realised the reason i don't like shmups is because they are all impossible.

gradius 5
stage 5
loop 10
this may not be "OMFG DOUJIN SHOOTER WALL OF BULLETS" hard, but, its close. (i retract that statement having seen the end of the video, it does get to that level of difficulty)
and yes, there is ps2 slowdown due to the amount of shit on screen.
