Honestly, I do not remember it very well as we covered it almost a decade ago now. That said, it stands out as a fun shooter with strong co-op and a cool upgrade system that used a shop much like in Fantasy Zone. Pocky &amp; Rocky 2 is also very nice looking thanks to some beautiful 16-Bit sprite work. Give it a try if you&#8217;re looking for a shmup that deviates from the usual formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/index.php\/pock-rocky-2-snes\/\">Click here for more on Pocky &amp; Rocky 2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to nominate a Retro Game of the Month, visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/retromaggedon.com\/index.php\/forum\/topic\/nominate-your-favorite-games-here-2025\/#postid-15\">Forum<\/a> and tell us what title you would like to see featured on the home page!
