What's so special about The Guardian Legend?
 The Guardian Legend is a little known game that ranks as one of my all-time favorites. It is an incredible blend of top-down vertical shooters and top-down adventures wrapped very neatly into one.   You play as "The Guardian." You start out in ship form, flying at incredibly speeds towards a planet-sized spaceship called Naju. One you beat this first level, you would anticipate another top-down vertical shooter level, but you'd be wrong! Instead, you start the main beef of the adventure, deep within Naju itself in a Zelda-esque adventure mode! You commence your long journey through a labyrinth of different areas, fighting mini bosses and getting upgrades to your weaponry. You fire the same basic gun in ship and person form, which upgrades every time you get the proper power up. The upgrades make your gun shoot faster and with a wider radius. On top of that, you also earn a ton of different sub weapons, all of which can also be upgraded! To beat the game, you must not only traverse the enormous adventure area, but also beat all 21 (22 including the opening level) shooter levels, accessed via corridors strewn about the map, each one with a hard-as-tits boss waiting for you at the end. Unlike most top down shooters that kill you for allowing but one bullet to graze your ship, you have energy in this game, which is replenished via powerups in both the adventure and shooter mode. Doesn't make the game any less challenging, I assure you that. On top of all this, it looks and sounds great for an NES game, with plenty of memorable tunes to accompany you for your long, challenging journey through Naju. So what's so great about this game? Pretty much fucking EVERYTHING. What are you waiting for? Download the ROM here! Jam it back in, in the dark.
