The PS2 beat everything. Even the Gameboy. The only thing that has chances to come close is the DS.

The greatest ever:

The SNES.

High Five!   8D

Oh, and if Star Fox does indeed count, then Star Fox 64 and Star Fox SNES are right on my list.  Specially the music for Star Fox SNES.  One of my favorite game soundtracks ever!

And it's gotta have about three more "Killer App" games to beat the PS2. First party or otherwise.
Also some collections near the end of its lifecycle.

Late reply is late but Nintendo 64 = Super Nintendo. There. I said it. XD

Besides, they both represent Nintendo's greatest creative peak.

I leave for a little while and this place is turned into a console war?

Anywho, I've been getting into Raiden lately. The different powerup system that I'm not used to intrigues me.

Console wars are always fun until someone gets too riled up by them. Meanwhile, on a scale of 1 - 5 how are ya finding it so far?

Twinbee was sweet, you can't go wrong with shooting rainbow bells. But I can't run it on my emulator for my life.

Life... Life Force!

Damn, I can't even start the game!

I stuck at the main screen.  ;O;

I'd say 4. Of course, I'm saying this from playing the flash versions. >_>

Really? Not bad then. Also, this thread reminds me that I need to try out the R-Type series sometime soon.

Hmm...
The only ones that come to mind is Raiden, and Strikers 1945 (Played all 3 games).

I don't play much in this genre, so I'll just go for the old reliable: Star Fox 64 (or Lylat Wars, as it was bizzarely re-named in Europe).

Just remembered, TIME BOKAN! is one of the best Shmup I've ever played. With Doronjo and her henchmen, nothing could go wrong! enjoyable stage and bosses too.

My favorite is Touhou.
Others that I like are Tyrian (OpenTyrian on DS!), Raiden, Raptor, 19xx, Nanostray.
Now I have to try Giga Wing too. I love getting ridiculously high scores 8D

Wat. Tell me more, please?

You guys should search for Galshell. Every boss is made of naked girls. And that's nastier than it sounds.

Man, you weren't kidding...
Some of those bosses/enemies are pretty groestque...
Though, the BGM was awesome...
