Let’s Play! Dominator
I don’t really like side scrolling shooters. There are a few in the genre that have interested me over the years – Side Arms, Zero Wing and Sol Feace. Of course, I loved Parodius and Ai Cho Aniki too, but they’re “comedy” shooters. I was never a fan of most of the “big name” shooters – Gradius, R-Type, Thunderforce, etc. I don’t know why.

I’m not doing as well as last year. My Enormous Geek Cycling Spreadsheet of Awesome Numbers tracks my miles and cross-checks it against how I was doing at this time last year, and the sums say that at the moment, I’m 51 miles down. Thankfully, that’s redeemable and with …
