Welcome to the new Shmup Junkie. Now a cooperative effort. This is a great 1st video of the new channel format. Great job guys! I missed having those Sunday morning Junkie videos.
-
The fact that Retro-bit was able to recreate the marketing with James is one of my absolute favorite marketing moments in video game history. It's so golden!
-
The opening few bars of the stage one music kind of never leave you once you've heard it.
-
Rewind Arcade puts out some of the best retrospective videos. Absolutely chuffed that your first hosting video is one of his.

Gaiares was dope back in the day, and still stands up to this day. Get some Shmup in your veins and play this if you haven't before, or even in a while. Also, don't knock the mullet in the ads. That's some El Camino class hair, Hoss.

Definitely a well deserved debutant video collaboration. Fantastic research, quality, sound and visual editing, speech cadence and pacing. I wish I knew how to equalize this god as to lower the volume of songs while I talk seamlessly. Props to retro arcade, props to the new Junkie format, props to shmup communities all around.

Dearest Junkie, without you this doesnt work. So glad youre still part of these productions. Like the host introducing horror movies each week. This video is awesome. Well done to Junkie Jnr. Top quality stuff. Your new format definetely works!! But with you included! Xxx

Had not heard of Rewind Arcade before now but this is some impressive stuff! Definitely going to spend some time on his channel.

This game is one of the reasons the Genesis was my favorite system.

I actually remember the day this came out, and one of my best friends (to this day!) got it. It was well-anticipated; we'd seen the previews in some of the magazines at the time. It was a time when there were SO many awesome shmups, and Gaiares was no exception. WHAT a blast. Cheers!

Sweet! The first video of the new Shmup Junkie channel! I never got very far in Gaiares myself but that didn’t stop me from enjoying it every time I fired it up!
-
NOYZE! Sunday morning Shooters are back 🧉🦄👌🏽
-
Oh man I was starting to have some junkie withdrawals. Im really digging the new direction to the channel that allows lesser known YouTubers have a chance to receive some recognition.
-
Just the music is enough to send chills up my spine. One of the best soundtracks of the system.
-
Used to have MUSHA, Truxton, Forgotten Realms, Elemental Master, Thunder Force 2/3/4, and Gaiares over the course of the Genesis lifecycle with the latter being my favorite (Yes I had the T-Shirt). May have to throw it back on now that I have a wireless Saturn controller for my loaded down Genesis Mini and it’s all about that D-pad!
-
They were so lucky to get that memory upgrade. The cut scenes are amazing. Great video!
-
Great content. Gaiares was the first shmup I ever owned and its difficulty made me enter puberty a year early.
-
Geez, that was an awesome video. Great information packed in this one. Very interesting.
-
Amazing video and I love the background digging on this classic SHMUP! If this is what’s to come from the new SHMUP JUNKIE channel then I’m very excited:-)
