Yeah, as simple as left/right + fire sounds, it's a PITA to play it on there. Now go try Mega Man.

Ahh, I see.
They are not the same crappy controls that you are used to. I know a lot of people who play them who love the Cave versions and have even played the iPhone versions to help aid them 1CC Espgaluda 2.
--- Quote ---I personally hate the virtual dpads on nearlly all of the games I've played on the iPhone, but Cave have managed to really pull the controls off with Espgaluda IMHO and for me really stands apart from other games on the iPhone for this very reason. Space Invaders Infinity Gene also uses a similar control system and works just as well.
The controls aren't as good as a real joystick but as an iPhone game the controls are great.

--- Quote ---You should get the free Lite version of ESPGALUDA II then, kernow. My friend who was all meh about it bought the full game after testing stage 1 just because the controls are brilliant.

--- Quote ---As mentioned earlier, its almost as if you can use the iPhone game as training for the real thing, but is nothing compared to the PCB. It is still great though and I can't wait until Dodonpachi is out.
The nice thing about Espgaluda is the iPhone mode, which just adds another way to play/score, which took a little to get used to but it makes a nice change from arcade mode.

--- Quote ---I was playing this on a friend's iPhone4 this morning and it seems quite fun. I've not played the original (or any ports which may exist), so don't know how it compares, but I could certainly see myself wasting a fair amount of time on it. Although maybe not as much if I also had Espgaluda II; I really like that game and it plays great on an iPhone. :)

Believe me these guys know their shmups and wouldn't rate a crap game. And no, I dont have shares in Cave :D
I'm just saying, try them before you tar them with the same brush ;)

I've plenty of those same types of glowing reviews on games that play like rubbish. Just sayin'...

I generally agree that shmups stink on the iTouch. Galaga was a real disappointment. I have played a shmups where your plane/ship autofires the whole time and you move your ship/plane with the accelerometer. iFighter is one of them. Not authentic by any stretch but okay for a 5 minute game while waiting at the doctor.
Frogger is somewhat playable. I find Pac Man only good for showing off the iTouch to newbies. Are there any "classics" that are playable on the iTouch?

Sure, but they are PC classics. Secret of Monkey Island, stuff like that.
