Ok, I just finished turning my TV on its side. I was playing Ikagura and thought it would be cool to have a full screen rather than that narrow sliver of a playfield (moan)...
I thought there would be a tons of games between my Saturn and Dreamcast to make flipping my TV worth it... NOPE! After Ikagura... which played ok. No big deal, still blurry... I tried other DC shooters... Mars MAtrix, Giga Wing 2. None of them have a sideways mode!
So I remember Galatic Attack for Saturn has a sideways mode. I switch to Saturn. Played it, but when I went to check out other shooters, none of them had a sideways mode! I could have sworn Radiant SIlvergun did! No.
THen I started to notice some strange things on my 27-inch tv. The screen started to seem blurred and it looked like the color palette was switching (I am colorblind, but I was pretty sure, the colors had changed several times during a game). I guess that's bad for the tv. So screw it... I put it back in its original position. Only 3 games made it not worth the experiment.
Ok, bottom line: not worth it. But I am wondering, does anyone know of any other games that have a sideways mode for a vertical screen?
