The Angel of the Day is...

Wor

From Wings of Wor

[areyouafraid]

gynoug (known as "wings of wor" in north america) for the sega genesis / mega drive.

this game is both beautiful & hard as fuck i genuinely dont think i could have beaten it without savestates. the enemy, boss and stage designs are all beautiful and flow together wonderfully.

the game has virtually no comprehensible plot. different localizations of the manual give different backstories; some say the protagonist, wor, is an angel sent by the heavens to destroy a legion of demons and monsters that have invaded land of iccus, and some say that iccus is a planet inhabited by a race of winged men and which has been ravaged by an evil virus that has transformed its denizens into monsters. like many other games of its genre, there are no references to an overarching plot within the game itself, and your only understanding of what the fuck you're even looking at would be based on whatever it says in your manual, assuming you have it. the cryptic ending text, "CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE LEARNING", does not help to resolve this confusion. i see it as more of an "art game" than a "story" because of this, but i think it works pretty well as just that anyway

i dont play shmups often because hard but i LOVE watching shmups (the more obscure the better) because a lot of them have insane, grotesque visual designs that go entirely too hard (Gynoug my beloved)

If you’re a fan of the music from the Genesis/Mega-Drive classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist (1992), then you’re gonna want this. The complete soundtrack will be up for pre-order from Limited Run Games starting tomorrow, with options for cassette tapes, CDs, and a single LP vinyl record available for the prices in the above graphic in USD. The vinyl is also available in an optional Green Ooze Edition, with a green record, limited to only 1,000 copies, so act fast if you want that in particular. The pre-order period runs throughout the entirety of March 2024.

This comes as part of Limited Run Games’s series of soundtracks for all the 8-bit and 16-bit TMNT games, of which they opened pre-orders for a new one every month starting last year. The only one remaining after this, which is expected to up for pre-order sometime in April 2024, will be for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters, and will include the music for the Genesis, NES, and SNES versions of that game, so be ready for that.

Take a look past the break for pre-order links to all three soundtracks. Just watch your step so you don’t fall in a creepy cave.

Click on the images for the associated soundtrack type to pre-order. You can pre-order the original and Green Ooze Vinyl from the same page.

Don’t forget that, at the time of this writing, there are other Genesis/Mega-Drive related items still up for pre-order on Limited Run Games, such as the Gley-Lancer & Gynoug Combo Pack, the cartridge re-issue of Aero The Acrobat 2, and the Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-sparked Collection. There are even Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked soundtracks available as a 3LP vinyl and as a cassette tape.

You may want to listen to Barry and George’s recent Sega Talk episode on TMNT: The Hyperstone Heist as well.

And finally, talk to us in the comments below about whether or not you’re getting these soundtracks, if you got any of the other TMNT soundtracks from Limited Run Games, or even just your favorite pizza toppings.

Gynoug / Wings of Wor

[thedurvin]

Boss fight to steal for StarStabber Zirc: the decaying giant from “Gynoug” whose only vulnerable point is in its heart, which is in orbit around the torso

Things not to steal from Gynoug: flickering projectiles that fill the screen and move in unpredictable directions. Why would that be fun

...This is really good and cute, but I hate how my first thought on seeing this was of a very specific boss from Wings Of Wor/Gynoug, a very aesthetically fucked up Sega Genesis game:

an anthro ship who wanders the open ocean

Here is an overview of the game, via Ratalaika Games:

The Real McCoy

Released originally on Sega Mega Drive, American fans of this beast of a shooter, known there as Wings of Wor, will soon be able to experience, as will everyone, this not to be missed title on the latest consoles. This heavyweight comes full to bursting with action and full blown destruction that will light up your screens. It may on the surface appear to be yet another horizontal scrolling, seek and raise hell game, but the playability factor and challenge is unsurpassed.

Set to Fight

The planet has been decimated by a virus that has transformed and mutated into a breed of some of the most fearsome creatures ever! They are the Mutants of Iccus, led by the terrible Destroyer. Many have taken on the mutants before you… and many have failed. Now i’s your turn. From the deepest caverns of Iccus to the belly of the beast itself, you must fly and fight for the life of your planet! It won’t be easy… but then the best battles never are! Destroy the Destroyer and Iccus will be saved, its skies free once again. But fail and your wings will be clipped… forever!

Action: Get Ready

Six levels of do or die action and you annihilate all that dare to challenge you or even come in your sights. A ‘power up system’ really lives up to its name for as you progress, and succeed, it dramatically increases your fire power and the overall force you are able to exert! Colored crystals and orbs can be blasted as they miraculously appear to gain you even more extra power and don’t miss out on the red orb for that is a real bonus upgrade. The more orbs you collect the more varied upgrades you are presented with. Spot the amber orb and a real treat is in store. Although many of the actions are now customary to this genre there are plenty of surprises in store.

Enemy bosses, mini bosses, ghouls, weird and wonderful creatures, and objects all make appearances and they are not mere fodder to be shot to smithereens. Speedy reactions are required!
