5. Axelay(1992)

SNES was not a console known for its frenzied shoot ’em up. This honor went to the Mega Drive, which was fortunate to have a faster processor. But that does not mean that the SNES has not been entitled to some solid contributions of the kind. Axelay Of Konami is perhaps the most spectacular. In terms of graphics and sound, it’s absolutely amazing, and it uses the power of the console’s Mode 7 to create some spectacular visual effects. The game alternates between sections that scroll vertically and horizontally (just like Life Force / Salamander, another Konami game), and getting to finish it is not easy. Axelay is a real classic, and it’s a shame that there is no follow-up, while the promise was made at the end of the credits.

10. Cybernator(1992)

When you first start this great mech-based platform game, you might think you are wasting your time. It’s slow and sluggish, and it misses the fast pace of Gunstar Heroes or Contra for example. But that’s part of the charm: you do not control a superhero but a war machine as big as three floors, covered with steel armor and armed to the teeth. The movements are voluntarily heavy to reinforce this feeling of weight, but you are not totally at the mercy of enemy fire. Your boosters allow you to jump in height and to make horizontal dodges.

The masterpiece of Konami that could not miss in the top 25!

17. Super Bomberman (Hudson, 1993)

Known for being the first games of the Bomberman saga and the first video games that offered us the possibility of playing with up to 3 more players. With a simple but entertaining system, we moved around the screen with the aim of firing bombs to destroy the walls and the enemies that blocked our way while collecting items. With its fantastic multiplayer mode of battles between the 4 players and the tempting idea to surround the enemies with the bombs and make them explode, we wound up for a while.
