I had enough for a part two, so let's get going.
Panorama Cotton
Continuing the trend from previous games, Cotton goes after more willows to eat with her sexy fairy friend this time taking out an assailant that's burning the willows, the main difference is that were playing a super scaler rail shooter like Space Harrier, the blast processing showing impressive speed for a very busy game back in the 90s but not so much now, while easier to play than Cotton 100% it can feel like there's more chaos than ever, it'll be luck whether or not you survive a playthrough.
B-Tier Game
Gunbird 2
Seven warriors embark on a quest everything from vampires and witches to robots and gay samurai to Aladdin types and girl geniuses plus Morrigan Aensland if you own the Dreamcast version, they look to find three sacred treasures to create a potion to grant any wish, a classic style shooter in the genre with plenty of amusing moments but very limited on replay value beyond all the character and co-op endings.
A-Tier Game
Trouble Witches Neo
All the cute witches in the anime world cannot save this game from the worst, yet most hilariously bad English dialogue in gaming history, a bar already set quite low if you've been around the gaming community for a long time.
Is the game any good? yeah it's pretty good but that voice acting, my god.
B-Tier Game
Next up a game about an Alien Invasion in the Dreamcast era, it's Incoming.
Incoming is a vehicle combat game, part simulation, part all out arcade shooter, the object is to complete multiple missions from anything among cargo carrying, destroying set targets or defending a convoy or a specific outpost, the range of vehicles on offer include a helicopter, various flying machines which consist of everything from Fighter Jets and Bombers to Star Fighters, you can even play as a boat, a tank and a gun turret. The game even rewards you with total destruction missions should you finish the entire game by completing every mission and sub mission.
This game was way ahead of it's time and it shows, not so much graphically but what it brought to the genre, it would be three years before Halo would change the rules, in the meantime this game became an essential title for both PC and Dreamcast, it was later released in an arcade form 2003 using a VR interface, not many games can really boast that feature.
The game was enriching and satisfying and came with enough fun to keep our attention for hours, it sort of faded from view as the X-Box started it's era thanks mostly to Halo.
Current State: Rage Software, the original British game publishers went bankrupt in 2003, the franchise is currently with Funbox Media and through help of another group specializing in converting old titles for modern PC have managed to convert the original, sequel and expansion for use on today's PCs as of 2015, however it has barely made any news in regard to this release.
Why Should it be Revived?: I was okay with the game as it was, I think I prefer the gameplay to the actual game itself, I'm very much for a Halo Version of the gameplay with nothing but vehicles and heavy weapons, that would satisfy an old itch to scratch as it would bring some new creativity to a franchise that's starting to lose it's appeal in today's gaming.
