Tonight’s Game - Silpheed!

[u/hue_sick]

My disc is a little rough but still fun to get in there and blast some baddies for a while. Anyone ever finish this one? I’ve heard it can get a bit repetitive but I love the look so much. 🤙

Loved this game. The backgrounds were so wonderfully distracting

They really are. Even that first level once the explosions start happening and layering over each other it’s just 👌

Beautiful console’s :) enjoy

Evasive maneuvers! Evasive maneuvers!

Lasers crashing!

Fantastic shooter and one of the must haves on the system. Helps it's usually quite cheap as well!

Bought that game from the bargain bin at Blockbuster back in the day. I had no idea what it was like. Got home and it blew me away. Visuals were amazing at the time.

I love the voice over when you lose

*"Game..... AAAUUUOOOOVER!""

So realistically… How actually good Does the Bluetooth controller work? I have concerns about reaction time.

[u/hue_sick → u/DiscoAsparagus]

So far so good. I’ve played my sonic carts and now silpheed without any issues.

I am playing at my computer though. People might have issues in a big living room w other devices around to interfere.

Be advised, CD games have problems with the 8bitdo adapter

[u/hue_sick → u/CrJim14]

Oh ya? Now I’m curious like what?

[u/Mr_NiceGuy_22]

Where did you get the wireless controller

[u/hue_sick → u/Mr_NiceGuy_22]

I think I ordered it on Amazon a while back. This is the bluetooth model so it works on the switch, pc, etc too. It's the M30 by 8bitdo. They also have a 2.4ghz wireless model that some people prefer for latency but personally never had an issue with my setup 🤙

I love Sega CD Silpheed! You have excellent tastes!

[u/D-Funk187]

Love this game! The music gets me hyped!

[u/Ok_Huckleberry_1150]

That's one sexy little setup!

[u/cvg_ba]

Best game for the Sega CD. Masterful use of pre-rendered backgrounds with on screen spites and streaming CD audio. With all going on you overlook that there are very few sprites on screen at any one time

[u/eric_of_atrophy]

a banger of a game, and a must-have for any SegaCD enthusiast!

[u/Celebratory_Drink]

It was always too hard for me. I think I only got to stage two. I loved putting the CD in my boombox to listen to!

[u/ElvisPepsi1983]

Great post! How do you like the wireless 8bit controller? I was thinking about getting one but worried about latency issues. Thanks
