They can for sure be abused but holy crap could they also be useful in some ways. They should have been regulated better from the beginning.I'm not sure I can get behind that. I get that it has caught stolen cars, but there are so many innocent people's information that is gathered and routes that are tracked. The argument is out there "if you don't do anything wrong... then it shouldn't matter." However, it's a serious overreach in my opinion.

I remember playing UN Squadron and I still have it. But there was several other games that I felt the same way about them as you do with UN. My time was spent on,
Gradius III
R-Type
Space Mega Force
Darius Twin
Axelay
I spent all my game time on these games. I am thinking that these games was the main reason I never finished Super Mario World. Gradius was the first one I got with the SNES, then R-Type followed. Other shooters came later including Star Fox, but these games hooked me. These games shaped my love for the genre.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / UN Squadron / Area 88 - Super ...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 15, 2026, 04:36:01 PMI did a thing... I quickly created a Un Squadron / Area 88 Fan site lol. You must hit the play music button:
https://www.unsquadron.com
This is by far one of my favorite Shmups ever made (probably favorite). I don't know why... but the moment I played UN Squadron on the Super Nintendo, I was HOOKED. Beyond Hooked... I couldn't put the game down. I've not had that same hook with most other Shmups even though that is one of my favorite gaming genres.
The levels, the music, the gameplay... and even the aircraft were all awesome. The level design was great, the challenge was fun... The end levels are just brutal but still are a draw. The game seemed balanced. It wasn't necessarily a bullet hell game. One thing I don't understand is, why haven't they made a sequel?
Area 88 also known as Un Squadron - we really need a sequel. I'd take a modern sequel as well!
If you have the chance, check out this full run of Un Squadron on Gamer Difficulty - it's pretty awesome:

What are your thoughts on this game? Dig it? I know @MegaDrive20XX @targetrasp and @retro junkie are game! lol
Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Last post by mastermario - September 14, 2026, 04:44:45 PMQuote from: mastermario on February 06, 2026, 06:11:55 PMI'm not proud of it, but currently listening to a lot of chick music, specifically Avril Lavigne and Taylor Acorn hahaha
I got a little bored of the mainstream-type chick music and moved on probably 5 months ago to some lesser-known female-lead pop-punk bands and discovered several really solid ones like Gold Steps, senses, and glimmers. Gold Steps was just in town last night playing at a super small venue and I went and got to hang out with them and we chatted for quite a bit. Great people and great music, would definitely recommend to check them out!

CDG Game Nights / Meet-ups / Sniper 5 09-12-26
Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 12, 2026, 08:54:17 PMPlayed Sniper 5 tonight with @targetrasp ... it was a great time. We are stuck on Level 8 for the last 2 sessions on Authentic difficulty. WHAT A FREAKIN KICK IN THE TEETH on this difficulty level. Authentic difficulty is very hard... no hud... no visual queues for wind on the hud except what's on the map in terms of flags or other regular indicators of wind.
It is pretty fun We on the way to another platinum trophy
