Silpheed - (Normal) I got to the final boss, died there four times using up all of my remaining continues, and got game over... so instead of starting the whole game over, I used the level-select cheatcode to be able to try again from the boss level. It took like fifteen tries before I finally succeeded at it, so it was the right choice... very difficult level! I count this as beating it though, I beat all of the levels after all. :) Silpheed is a great game, one of the Sega CD's most visually impressive games and quite fun to play as well.

Fire Shark - Easy, loop 1 only. This game has like ten loops, each a bit more difficult than the last, but I hadn't even managed to beat the first loop on Easy before I believe... well, now I have. Good game, though the graphics are fairly average. It's certainly better than prior Toaplan shmups Tiger-Heli, Sky Shark, and Twin Cobra, at least (Fire Shark is Sky Shark's sequel, like how Twin Cobra is Tiger-Heli's). I might play this one more.
