It's always odd to me how Jaleco had some pretty bad console games on stuff like the Famicom and Super Famicom but then had some pretty neat games in the Arcade. Game Paradise is one of those really fun games.

This game is a fun crossover with many Jaleco games like Plus Alpha, Momoko 120% and Exerion. There's even many cool cameos like the laughbly awful cover of Tuff E Nuff being used in the first stage and also a plush of the girl from Soldam. Though I couldn't find anything from City Connection outside of Clarice being made playable in a later release of this game.

This is a very fun shmup which I'm guessing was made to be Jaleco's Parodius. For the most part it's pretty charming but it can be a little annoying with how bullet hell the game gets. It's probably the one thing that I'm not too fond of but otherwise it's a pretty fun time and it's worth one playthrough.
