Get a Game Genie as this game is extremely difficult.
User Rating: 8 | Hellfire GEN
This game is an awesome shoot em up that all fans of the genre should own. The music is great and the gameplay is perfect. If it were only a bit easier....If you get a game genie you can get unlimited lives and I find this makes the game quite a bit better. Even with all those lives the game is still very hard. This is definitely one of my favorite shmups out there and I highly recommend it as long as you can handle the difficulty. Without the game genie i think it would be extremely difficult to get past the 3rd level. With the code it is at least seemingly possible to get to the last level (level 6). I don't know what else to say about this game. It is a pretty generic horizontal scrolling shooter but it is definitely one of the better ones out there. So if you have a genesis and like shooters this is a game that you should definitely seek out and a game that is actually enhanced with a game genie. Enjoy.
