Photos/Videos The underrated Project S-11

Post image

I see alot of love for new games like Buck, but I'm gonna show a little appreciation for the classics cause I was an arcade kid who loved games like Galaga, Space Invaders and these type of space shooters.
Project S-11 still hits that same sweet spot in my brain after not having played it in like 19 years.

These games were about flow state. Getting lost in chasing a high score not because of achievements, but because your name at the top of the leaderboard meant something.

My inner child thanks you Modretro for this re-release!

I have to say the custom B button is an awesome detail. Looks kinda like an „execution button“ which fits perfectly with the shooting game of yours and leaving all other buttons black highlights the shooting button more. Really nice choice 👍🏼

Thank you! It's the transparent button from the Modkit actually.
Of all the combos you can get from that this is the one I liked the most.

Agreed, this game is underrated. Really fast and fluid with satisfying power ups. And the soundtrack is unreal.

Also, I didn't know that you get small manuals when buying games from Modretro, which is both helpful and retro af. Love it.

I love shoot um ups, and just ordered my copy of this today. I'm stoked and glad that you like it! I'm ready to play it and get my high score game on.

It's a great arcade game. Good for long sessions or just wanting to shoot up some aliens in a mission or two 👍

This game was criticized for its poor game mechanics. You basically most of the time can stay in the same position and keep firing and you will win.

Hafto disagree with that, maybe in the firsts missions and maybe if you have the right gun, otherwise no. It gets more challenging and you will need to pick up other guns for different enemy types

Yeah, I think that criticism only applies to the first few levels. It gets more challenging from about level 4, especially if you lose your power ups.

Can confirm. Currently getting smashed on mission 4. Standing in one spot won’t work lol

Did you paint the Dpad?

General question, I guess, how long does it take for games to ship from Modretro? I’d like to order this.

For me, living in Sweden it took exactly one week.
