Classic Game Room HD - SILPHEED for Sega CD review

Classic Game Room was the FIRST classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999. Returning in 2008 with new episodes, Classic Game Room breaks out a review of SILPHEED for the Sega CD add-on for the Sega Genesis Megadrive 16-bit video game console. The Mega Drive had a few short lived add-ons like the SegaCD and 32x. Silpheed originally came out years earlier, I had a copy of it for the PC back in the day. This version uses an early polygon graphical system and looks dates, but plays as well as any of the best SHMUPS out today. This is a tremendous SHMUP vertical scrolling space shooter where you pilot the lone spaceship against wave after wave of alien bad guys. Blow them up with a variety of weapons and power ups in this 3D universe created for the Sega in 1993. Rockin' electric music thumps away as you blast those bad guys into space dust! Silpheed may not be one of the best shooters ever made, but it is a sleeper hit that holds up well against today's games because of the well created gameplay and difficulty. Maniac shooters like Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga are better known now, but Silpheed does not disappoint as you can see from the footage. This game should be made into a new 2D shooter with 3-D elements for the PS3, Xbox 360 Live Arcade or Wii. There was a Silpheed released for the PS2 called Silpheed Lost Planet. Be sure to watch the original Classic Game Room episodes. Classic Game Room was the original classic video game review show on the Internet in 1999-2000, now on DVD. The HD series is reviewing PS3, PS2, Genesis, NES, Atari and Xbox 360. XBLA. videos review reviews show wii

What i meant by "FMV game" was a game which make use of FMV and in this case there's an intensive use of it. Of course all these games where the only thing you have to do is push the button sucks. But silpheed is different because it shows how you can actuallya use FMV but in an awesome way

You know what FMV stands for? FMV stands for "Full Motion Video", you know, these crap-games where you have to push the correct button when the game (more movie then game) says it. Silpheed is definitely NOT an FMV Game.

Now that's an example of how you can do a FMV game which doesn't sucks compared to all the others FMV title of this add-on

I love Silpheed! Awesome graphics for its time with cool music to go with it. One of the few great Sega CD titles along with Lunar, Dark Wizard and Snatcher.

where? I haven't seen a single video in silpheed, i thought it only uses polygon graphics?
