Can you guess this old game from just one screenshot?
I’ll update this post with the answer at 5pm today if no one has guessed before then. Or if you do guess it before then, feel free to share your memories of a classic game.
Stinger on the NES? I actually don’t know the game, but when I saw the picture it reminded me of Twinbee (and Gradius). The Twinbee I remember though was a vertical shooter, so Wiki tells me that its sequel, Stinger, was a horizontal one (for half of it or something). That and only the Twinbee and Gradius universes have crazy cat pirate ships commanded by penguins as bosses.

My first thought: Bioshock Hello Kitty Edition

Parodius – but have no idea what platform the screenshot is from – maybe NES or MSX version.
I have the PSP Parodius compilation – which is well worth buying.

Now this is scary – maybe it is the Gameboy Colour version.

Parodius is the bomb! Never played the NES version though.

Definitely Parodius, although the SNES version looked heaps better ;)

Parodius! The Saturn version was much more sexier!
