I really like Satan's Hollow, but the graphics always made my eyes bleed. Something about a simple black background with some stars jives better with shooters for me.

You won't have to see me again in your "precious" thread

Well, everyone has an opinion.. but its a bit odd to me, for a classic lover to diss a game based on graphics.
Its actually quite interesting to me... to see a game try to represent Satans Lair. I especially like how the graphics change in color
to simulate different lighting conditions. I also love how furious the game is. I mean, none of the games listed here have a giant boss
(satan head) that moves mach 1, and shoots a 100 ft long bolt of fire. heh
The Powerup on Satans Hollow is great too. 3 levels of power, by adding more guns to your ship. Which is severely needed in those
intense demon filled skies.
One day Ill remake the game... One day....

Galaga is the King! :burgerking:
Tied for title of my all time favorite, with Ms PacMan. On a stock arcade cab, my high is in the 400's without the no-shot trick. With the no-shot trick, and playing in MAME (paused for breaks), 1.7 million-ish.

I'd like to see a remake or a sequel 8)
To clarify, I thought the graphics were great, but maybe a bit too ambitious to the point where I felt it detracted from the game. When on a dusk level which is pretty much a two-toned red background, shooting at red creatures just plain hurt my eyes. It just made me wish for the plain old space shooter backgrounds so I could simply focus on what I was shooting better.
