Progear is far from being average. But like many other awesome games it does not reveal it's real qualities until you play it - and that's definitely more than for 20 minutes with an unlimited amount of coins. Expecting the question "what actually are the real qualities ?", and considering you are interested in an answer, although I doubt you are, you can visit this page: [/url]http://www.world-of-arcades.com/Cave/Progear/ItemsAndScores.htm[/url]

The rest is playing it. or not. ;)

> Progear sux.

> Pretty sprites, if not overly derivative of past games. Decent graphics. Zero
> imagination, zero innovation - just another cut n' paste shooter.

> Look at Forgotten Worlds - new twists and turns at every step. Or even look at
> Defender, which had way more gameplay variety than Progear and tons of similar
> cookie cutter shmups.

> Hard to believe sometimes that Capcom is the company that made so many
> groundbreaking arcade titles in the old days, now all they do is rehashes of

> If I ever actually saw Progear in an arcade (which I probably never will) I'd

> Amazing how a mediocre shmup could be the center of such a "political"
