I'm Give Up Your Appellation's Technical Monkey

Superlative horizontal scrolling shooter, unfortunately let down by the SNES's technical limitations. The developers had the sheer cheek to call it a feature, that they were merely emulating the arcade, but there's no escaping the crippling slowdown, particularly evident on the Bubble Zone and Cell levels. In spite of this, Konami did the game a service. The controls are perfect, the soundtrack stellar, and there's tons of variety in the levels and enemies to keep you coming back for another go.

There's also a SA-1 enhanced patch by Brazilian coding genius Vitor Vilela which adds the vital oomph the game was lacking, so by all means check that out.
