Nemesis 2 vs Salamander

I like Salamander. But it is a very dificult game.

Nemesis 2 .. it's a little easier to play, so it encourages to play it more often than Salamander , where I still die in the scars in level 1 imo, a proper gameplay involves that a game is playable for beginners as well, and Nemesis 2 is more playable for beginners than Salamander..

Played Nemesis 3 close to the end tho, where you fly inside that screen-size bossmonster.. (was it level 10?)

no doubt: salamander!

I think that Salamander is one of the best MSX 1 games ever. Nemesis 2 is a very good game, but Salamander multiplayer capabilities add much more fun if you play with another player. But as most of people know, you can't get the good ending of Salamander if you don't have Nemesis 2 at slot 2 while playing it. With that, you can play the final stage of Nemesis 2 with Salamander ships and weapons (and second player too!) and defeat Venom, the true enemy of the game.

Conclusion: The best is both of them combined: Salamander (slot 1) + Nemesis 2 (slot 2)

I don't care much for multi-player games. Although I did have some fun playing 2-player Salamander, everyone I played with was less good than I was. They merely served as a way for me to power up my special weapons, before they reached GAME OVER.

Salamander is great, also the vertical stages are very cool. BUT I will have to choose Nemesis 2, definitely!

Maybe it's nostalgia, because it's the first Nemesis I played and the first time I heard SCC music, but what I like about Nemesis 2 is mainly the music and the huge amount of special weapons you can collect from enemy bosses.

BTW, talking about different graphics, I think generally Nemesis 3 is more in style with the rest of the nemesis titles than Salamander.
