Moi playing Biometal (SNES) through to the end

Here is a playthrough I did of Biometal on Super Nintendo. At first the game seems like a real back-breaker, but with a little patience it is quite doable...even by a schmoe like me. I made it to the 6th and final level before having to burn through a few continues(I edited out the continues). Overall it's a really fun little game. Getting adept with the "GAM", which is basically "options" that rotate around your ship, is key to survival and is a must; particularly the ability of "boomeranging" the GAM, which flings it across the screen before it returns back to orbit your ship, is vital. It's a pretty beat gimmick that really sets it apart from most shmup's that I've played. The review I read on shmups.com complained about the graphics being a bit drab, but I think the graphics are actually quite nice for the most part. The music on the other hand...oy vey!
