Has anybody tried this one yet? It got a pretty good review from IGN.

Ash: Professor Oak, how's your Bulbasaur?
Prof. Oak: Oh, it only hurts when I sit.
...
Prof. Oak: It's only Chansey if Krabby won't let go. Bye, now.
Ash: I don't think I'm going to call him anymore.

I like it. Nice deep black backgrounds always make for good-looking NES games. The rotating shooter orbs that you can lock in place are a neat touch. I haven't played a lot of shooters so I'm not sure how novel that is, though. The controls feel good, very fluid....

The only thing that's got me on the fence about getting this game is the shortness. I hear there's only 5 stages or something.
Then again Life Force is a really awesome game and it only has 6 I think. I'm still waiting to see what the review on Nintendolife has to say about scat. It looks like I might be getting it though. Has anyone here played this and Forgotten worlds on Genesis? Which would you say is better overall?

So is the game about poo?? I though those games never left Japan. XD I kid of course but with such name i wonder why the editor didn't try to flip the letters around maybe call it C.A.T.S. or T.A.C.S.

@ Lielie
You know what they say. Never judge a book by it's cover. Or rather it's title. Scat could also mean get lost or get outta here. Maybe it's like this.... Come on it's time to make these alien forces scat! Or something like that.
Just try not to think about poop while playing. LOL. Oh and for god sakes don't Google it. XD

I don't advice people look it up either. I discovered it by browsing some anime girl galleries and came across a section with this video games title..Lets just say I not going anywhere near that site ever again. Nonetheless Im interested as to what NL will say about this game. Will check it out if its fun but will avoid if its well you know crap...pardon the pun

I didn't even realize the name had a poop meaning until the Angry Nerd mentioned it.

I just bought the game and It is much better than I expected. More people need to know that this game despite it's title is worth a try. One thing that's nice is the continues are unlimited. If you die you don't have to start all over from the begining.
That's something about most shooters I hate. In this game you get as many tries as you need. Just because the game is called scat doesn't mean it's poop. Give it a chance you'll see.

Going on my experiences from when I played it as a young boy (borrowed from a cousin), I can only see myself buying this for the nostalgia factor.

Though nostalgia is reason enough to buy it, reading the review and seeing it's a relatively short game goes against it. Saying that, I never did complete it (I had a Game Genie, and was too busy making cheats and blazing through it to bother trying to complete it proper), so I might still buy it yet.

@ edhe
I'm enjoying it and I have no nostalgia for it at all. I never knew this game existed until now. I'm a sucker for shooters though so maybe I'm more forgiving of it's flaws. Ever Heard of Life force? It's another really short nes shooter but the music and coolness factor more than make up for the length.

I reckon the name was intentional to make it stand out and get people discussing it.

Edgey, Gumshoe, Godot, Sissel, Larry, then Mia, Franziska, Maggie, Kay and Lynne.

I'm throwing my money at the screen but nothing happens!

@ Bass X0
Yeah like that Snes shooter with the old guy playing the Banjo on the cover. You might have a point there.

Again, I think if any meaning of "SCAT" was recognizable back in the day, it would have been the "get out of here!" meaning.

@Bass - I don't think it was intentional at all. Just an unfortunate acronym.

Come to think of it, if the "poop" meaning had been commonly known at the time, I don't think Nintendo would've even allowed it back then. This was when they feverishly censored everything to be family-friendly (or like allowing only E10+ and lower games).
At least, I can't remember any NES or SNES games that openly talked about poop.
