I'm having a hard time picking between Darius Twin, Super Aleste, and Pop 'n' Twinbee. I guess Darius since its the hardest of the three, though hardest diffculty in super aleste is something else, have to love homing bullets on death, even for things that don't have guns, oh how I miss compile.

I'll check your "Hardcore Shmupper" level.
The following links are the samples of legendary shooter music arrangement doujin CD "STG X STG".
How many game titles can you name?
Compile's TG-16 series and Zanac on the NES. Megaforce was just Zanac with the "scaling difficulty" removed.

Yes, zanac is a fucking amazing game, but that scaling difficulty doesn't help much in the game, it still is a damn fun and fast romp with a great weapons system and music of course, still megaforce with all the on death bullets is a lot more fun, what with the sicker weapons and better music.
I need to find me the psx or was it ps2 actual sequel to zanac, but I'm just as fine playing zanac and megaforce on my ds until then.
SMS aleste was a bit more aggravating than zanac with the way it did things, but I hear the fixed all those things with the gg version, still haven't got around to playing it though.
What were the pce-10 games? The biped robot shooters? robo aleste and the like or was that still the sega consoles?

maybe the compile games being mentioned are spriggan and spriggan mk.2? this has nothing to do with compile, but my favorite pce shooters are the carnival series games; if you have a tg16 or pce with cd, or even if you have the emulator, burn yourself up a copy (these limited-release games that go for a hundred bucks), i don't feel so terrible about doing this.). awesome score attack modes.
Even though I've only really played Raiden, Raiden Fighters, and Raiden Fighters Jet.

One of them is Parodius, the first one or just the first level theme, or maybe its Gradius's, but I've only heard it in parodius because I don't play gradius.
The rest I'm just too new for I guess.

Under Defeat... What a great shooter...

My current favorite shooter is Gigawing. It's got all the stuff you need in a shooter, but that reflect shield just makes it a winner in my book. Nothing more satisfying than using it to throw back a million bullets at the enemy.
>>24
fail. No fag likes X-2.
There are, however, many who like the original, 12, 11, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and the first. Though a bit of leeway is allowed for 9 for the people the main villain fooled Bridget style. Yes we americans are blind, don't rub it in. :|
8 is the most chick-flicky of the bunch. lawdy, take out the technology and that could be a period piece on Lifetime.
Control
Z: Hijiki shot (Dried black seaweed)
X (hold and release): Mandara (absorbs enemy's shots and reflects them back)
F2:pause F3:reset Esc:quit
Rule
Defeat all the enemies before running out of time.
Destroying boss: 20sec bonus.
Being shot down: 10sec penalty.
You can't move horizontary when you are touching the lowest line of the screen.
You can't move vertically when you are touching the rightmost/leftmost line of the screen. (Hell mode only)

i liked gigawings simpler controls over mars matrix.
I don't understand why Giga Wing is such overestimated among English-speaking shooter fans.
Japanese shooter fans got LOLed when they read this page.
ttp://www.gamefaqs.com/features/top10/163.html
Well, generally it's a good list. Maybe Xevious should be picked instead of Galaga, and Shikigami no Shiro II is a little overrated but that's understandable since it's a western list after all. From #5 to #2 deserve the rank... but the best... is... Giga Wing !?!?

Ibara is for shmupaholic. Shmup noobs shouldn't buy it.
I recommend Mushihime-sama to all shmup fans - from beginners to experts.
DoDonPachi Dai-Oujou is a masterpiece. You must have it if you call yourself "shmuper".
