Gate of Thunder - TurboGrafx-16

Every classic gamer knows that shooters were big throughout the 80's and possibly even bigger in the early 90's. Before 1992, there were a considerable amount of shooters available for home consoles: Blazing Lazers, Thunder Force III, Gaiares, R-Type, Gradius - you know what I'm talking about! So, ...

Is this a good point to start Shmups, or would Soldier Blade be a much better choice?

I downloaded this and its awesome but HARD! I cant even do the first level. Also i went looking on gamespot to see some reviews there and one said there was a hidden bomberman game. When i looked at the cheats it said there but i was kinda confused. It says do the code at the selection menu? Is this something that cant be done on the wii or is the selection menu like the configuration menu or something?

Anyway this game definatly deserves the 5 stars. I love the soundtrack and even though im stuck on level 1 (I can get to the boss) i still like listening to the music on it. But i am dreading level 2
