Reviews for Gemini Wing (#2007)

Not bad, just pretty tough. The graphics make this very difficult to see the game properly. Great title tune by Barry Leitch at the beginning. All in all its not bad, certainly one of the more playable shmups on the Speccy......if only I can see the enemies and the bullets come towards me.

This looked great at first and has a nice title tune at the start but the gameplay isn't very effective. It's not so much you can't see the bullets but they are too far and hard to avoid, especially homing bullets. Some enemies are a lot faster than you as well, making it difficult to avoid contact with them. Power ups are collected and can be used but they won't help much throughout. I am willing to call this a poor conversion due to its gameplay flaws.

On a gameplay scale it plays alright but it suffers from slowdown occasionally. But the monochrome graphics are a nightmare as the enemies clash with the background and make themselves hard to identify. That is what killed the game for me.

Vertical shoot'em up with busy monochrome graphics and jerky animation. Luckily at least the bullets are differently coloured. But it's still confusionary. Lots of very fleeting power up's help you in your fight against flying scorpions and such.
2,75/5
