SNES A Day 37: Super Scope 6

Super Scope 6 was the pack-in game for the Super Nintendo’s first official peripheral, the Super Scope.
SNES A Day 31: Earth Defense Force
Approximate Release Date: January 1, 1992
Genre: Side-scrolling shooter
Developer: Jaleco
Publisher: Jaleco
It took a while before I “got” Earth Defense Force, yet another side-scrolling shooter. It took several tries to complete the first level.
SNES A Day 30: D-Force
Approximate Release Date: December 31, 1991
Genre: Scrolling shooter
Developer: Asmik Ace Entertainment
Publisher: Asmik Ace Entertainment
As the final game of 1991, D-Force is immensely disappointing.
SNES A Day 23: Darius Twin
Approximate Release Date: November 30, 1991
Genre: Side-scrolling shooter

Publisher: Taito
Unless you have a pal to play with, skip Darius Twin.
SNES A Day 11: U.N. Squadron
Approximate Release Date: September 9, 1991
Genre: Side-scrolling shooter

U.N. Squadron is yet another arcade-style shooter, but at least it’s trying something different.
SNES A Day 10: Super R-Type
Approximate Release Date: September 1, 1991
Genre: Side-scrolling shooter
Developer: Irem
Publisher: Irem
The lack of in-stage checkpoints really makes me not want to play more Super R-Type.
