I know there are others, but I'm having a total brainfart today.

Baryon Future Assault you activate the 'laser' by tapping quickly.. too quickly actually, I guess it's designed to stop you using it all the time

Raiden II and DX, both have the purple "toothpaste" laser that builds up from shots to a lock-on stream.
Unfortunately neither games are properly emulated in mame.

Though you could run the PSX port in a playstation emulator. Next best thing to getting the PCBs.

afaik that's just a standard powerup mechanic (collect powerups = bigger laser)

I believe he's asking about games where you get a distinctly different shot by rapidly tapping the button rather than holding it down / tapping it slowly.

Plenty of games have auto fire, but give you a faster rate of fire if you can tap faster, very few actually change the shot types.  I know there's another one with a power bar visible on the screen which increases the faster you tap, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.

That's exactly what I'm talking about and, in fact, I know what you are referring to with a power bar increasing as you tap faster but I can't think of the damn game either!
