Specifically, I’d recommend games like Soukyugurentai and Layer Section over this one based on cost alone. The Japan-only Saturn version sells for a minimum of £50 on eBay these days. £50 is not terrible as far as Saturn shmups go – Radiant Silvergun says hello – but I’m not sure Shienryu does enough to distinguish itself from other, less expensive games on the system to justify it. So with that said, the reason I got the PS1 version is that unlike on Saturn, Shienryu is cheap and readily accessible. Bad jokes (more like non-jokes) aside, the Sega Saturn port is the best way to go. Yes, that was a Virtua *insert noun here* joke. Originally Shienryu was released in arcades, but it also had a great Sega Saturn port because the arcade hardware it ran on was virtually identical to the Saturn’s own. Weird official descriptions of this game aside, Shienryu is a very good shmup and I’m glad to play it, even the PS1 version of this game. I always appreciate a two player mode when it comes to shooting the living piss out of mechs.
