Is Super E.D.F. still worth playing in 2026?

A Jaleco horizontal shooter, Super E.D.F. leans on an evolving weapon system that grows in power as long as you avoid getting hit, rewarding clean play. The snappy pace, the well timed enemy waves and a catchy soundtrack make it a solid shmup for the machine. The decent but unremarkable production and a lack of variety place it a notch below the references. A good shooter to recommend for genre fans on 16 bit and players after rewarding weapon systems.
