Made this because I always saw shmup and run 'n gun as sister genres.

Anywho, mine are mainly Aero Fighters/Sonic Wings and Strikers 1945. Aero Fighters is a favorite not only becuase it's my first shmup, but the outrageous pilots. Should I play as the dolphin or the baby?

Ikaruga.

Pop'n Twinbee.

Parodius was fun.

Axelay, even if just for the music.

And I bet nobody of you guys/gals remembers Biohazard. That's NOT Resident Evil.

Touhou.

Gradius and 1942 are my favorites!

Man, I love Vic Viper in ZOE2.

Another crazy-arse genre. But I actually have favorites, here:

Soldier Blade
Raiden II

I don't like bullet hells.

And I'd say Radiant Silvergun but I never played that. Seems awesome though. Same for Einhänder.

Nya, this might take a LONG time for me to put a list together, so wait for the bright tomorrow~

Right now, I add Giga Wing, for the most over-explosive, screen-covering, ridiculous score-counting shmup game from Capcom in like ever.

Star Fox 64, definitely...

I'm looking for Ikaruga since forever. That thing looks like sheer perfection.

Stupid rare game.

I got the NGC version for 20 bucks. Holy [parasitic bomb] it's awesome.

Ikaruga... I still have to find that game myself. Also, Star Fox 64 is godly. GODLY.

I know I'm a very mainstream gamer, don't rub it in.

My old favorite is Raiden.

Anyone knows that one game with a lot of beehives and honeycombs as the points? That looks hella interesting.

Da Dood · **Reply #11 on:** December 12, 2008, 01:00:49 AM

There's a sealed GC Ikaruga available on my local Ebay-esque service, but the moron bought the EU version...

I swear to God, Ikaruga represents like 50% of my reasons to finally get a 360.

Am I the only one who played Pop'n Twinbee?

You tasteless troglodytes!

No. D:

GIGAWING, for the highest highscores in the multiverse!

What's the world record? Let's consult Wikipedia:

Quote

The reported world record score for Giga Wing is 291,252,468,839,040 points[1]; the score multiplier mechanic entails a lower limit to the average score for each enemy of many thousands or several millions of points, and end of level bonuses are scaled accordingly.

I play too~! One of Konami's best. It's available on the PSP Twinbee Portable collection.

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!
