Musha Aleste… a legendary title, that many consider as THE best shoot on Megadrive ever. Acronym for Metallic Uniframe Super Hybrid Armor, it was only released in Japan and USA. This game is a star of imports.

MUSHA sur Genesis
Vertical shoot with a complex gameplay, it deserves all the honors of a european version :
It is not magic but cartmodding : a original megadrive game cartridge is opened and dismounted. A new ROM is placed inside. The insert and game sticker are to be created from scratch. So, you will get a rare game (never released in a country or slighty modified) in a true Megadrive cartridge, compatible with your original hardware.
You are ready to feel a whole new experience with your european Megadrive !

I have not been on the Xbox Live Arcade for a while… I could have done a big mistake : missing the HD remake of Bionic Commando. It is a classic NES game that I really loved younger. The character is a commando armed with a powerfull bionic arm/glove that you can use to swing or grab objects. You will face an army of fanatized soldiers.

Among the few NES games that marked me is Capatin Skyhawk (an MB game) : a very fun game shoot in isometric 3D. It is similar to the arcade classic Zaxxon from SEGA. You have to repel an alien invasion with your tuned F14 fighter. You can replay this game directly in your browser : http://www.nintendo8.com/game/741/captain_skyhawk/ !
