Gemini Wing (Mastertronic Plus)

It's nice when something out of the ordinary comes along. Sadly this hasn't happened with Gemini Wing.

It's a vertical scroller in which you have to blast the aliens who look like elaborate crustaceans and fire-spitting earthworms. The screenshot for this one tells you more about the game than I ever could. An average scrolly, shoot aliens, collect bonusy things, meat 'n potatoes shoot-'em-up.

Frame Rate

I get so bored with this sort of thing. It's very rare that you get a shoot-'em-up that is anything other than run-of-the-mill. I needn't really say it but if your interests lie outside the world of frantic blasts then give it a miss.
