Let's talk about Treasure!

I started playing Dynamite Headdy on the Genesis Collection after reading about it in Legends of 16-bit Game Development. It's a lot of fun, but I stalled out hard right after Puppet Tower because, well…I'm no damn good at it. I need to get way better at aiming diagonally consistently before I'll be able to beat this level.

Then I picked up childhood favourite Bangai-O again, and raced through it until about stage 40, where I slowed down because it wasn't quite as fun. I'm not stopping, just trying to not burn out. Riki might be the hero, but I find Mami's lasers a lot more useful - homing missiles are good when you have one enemy in a wide-open area, but if there's multiple enemies then the bounce lasers are actually more useful because they won't get distracted. And I just really love watching the lasers bounce around; they're beautiful.

Anyone else enjoy some Treasure games lately?

I really liked Mischief Makers. It had interesting movement mechanics and overall felt like a really unique game. I'd seen it a lot at game rental places when I was younger but only actually played it several years ago. I've been wanting to play some of Treasure's other stuff but haven't got around to it.

I've actually played a bit of Sin and Punishment too. That isn't a game that I ever remember was made by them. And I know of Ikaruga, though I haven't played it, and have yet to actually get into shmups.

They don't seem to be dead but they haven't released anything new in over a decade at this point.
