Let's be honest: Jaleco wasn't a very notable developer but their games had at last one or two interesting concepts.
Pic related is from a unreleased (but complete) shmup called Chimera Beast. Here, you control some kind of alien monster - a Eater - that absorbs characteristics (eyes, tail, etc.) from any creature eaten. You start as a tiny microbe and end as a gigantic lovecraftian menace:

Well, it was released in like 2 arcades, but it didn't go so well so it wasn't more widely distributed. Distribution of arcade games worked quite different from console games.
This game was pretty fun. It's a racing gears advance clone where you can blow up people in the Flintstones car.

Pic related is awesome. Fantastic graphics, fantastic mech designs, excellent and unique gameplay.
But holy lol, that intro music.

I just picked this up at a retro game store. From what I played it looks like a really neat action platformer, with some of the gothic influence of Castlevania. Some impressive graphics too, nice big detailed sprites and cutscenes. Can't wait to sit down and play through the whole thing soon.
Awesome concept. This is the kind of thing I was expecting for that Scorn game.
>tfw no Rushing Beat 4
This series is basically a poor man's Final Fight but I still like it.

Astyanax is a cool game. The arcade version is also fun, with similar mechanics but an entirely different story/setting (kinda).
Jaleco is one of those devs that made a lot of bad games, but some of them stood out from the pack, like Game Tengoku and Cybattler (excellent shmups), Ninja-Kun II: Ashura no Shou (the only good Ninja Jajamaru-kun game), and Phantasm (really cool concept: a ghost possessing enemies to fight through action stages). Not to mention a lot of games that are just decent, like Carrier (a boring, yet competent and occasionally entertaining Code Veronica clone), and Makai Densetsu (aka Makai World), which looks like garbage but is a pretty funny-looking decent kusoge.

Nigger, What about Ginga Daisakussen/Squashed?

that is the worst boxart i have ever seen.
I like Rodland. It's a bit like snow brothers or bubble bobble. Had a port on the NES and Commodore computers, in fact the Amiga version is one of the few arcade ports on the system that isn't garbage, it's actually very good.

genuinely horrifying desu
even went after the people trying to escape the planet.
Censure aside, was it a good port or not?
>>3489476
No, why would you play that version today?! Get the Amiga version god damn.
Battle Unit Zeoth was a pretty fun gameboy shooter

Good choice nigga.

Oh, when they'll find your body, it will be retro, rest assured
