I recently went on a Gradius-like shmup kick and decided to focus my efforts on the NES. Over Horizon is a really cool horizontal shooter with a DIY option to customize your ship. I love the graphics on this one and the environmental puzzles are clever and interesting. You can fire forward and backwards, and part of the strategy is knowing (or anticipating) environmental hazards and knowing what side of the screen enemies will emerge. It has infinite continues, which I greatly appreciate as I'm currently stuck on stage 4.
This one never got an NA release maybe that's why it has flown under the radar, I'd never heard of it before. Well worth checking out.
