Android Assault: Revenge of Bari-Arm

[Melf]

The Sega CD is home to many an underappreciated title, and over the years many great games have sat in silence, awaiting some long-overdue attention. One example is Android Assault: Revenge of Bari-Arm, a fun and engaging shmup that was largely overlooked by gamers at the time (that probably had something to do with it being released right after Silpheed, which was the center of an absurd amount of hype). Aren't you lucky then, that we have a full review (http://www.sega-16.com/Review-%20Android%20Assault.htm) to give you an idea of what you missed and why you should find yourself a copy ASAP.

I remember this game. I remember it was easy for some reason, but it did have a few good music tracks that I swiped to MiniDisc when I rented it when it came out back in 1453 (damn, I'm old). I also don't really remember anything bad about the game. I think it'd be worth having, and if I can find it for a good price, I will have it! I don't think it did anything special with the Sega CD besides the music... oh well no huge deal.

Excellent review, Melf. Possibly the most entertaining you've written.
What sort of weapon power-ups exist in this game?

[Joe Redifer]

The version I rented had an "Android Assault" title screen, not Bari-Arm.

Variation? I've heard about that before.. Hmm...

I don't believe I've ever heard of this game. Then again it's not my type.
