I suck at shmups, but want to get into them more when I finish the current build. I'm working on an ultimate shmup gamelist (arcade only). Don't want it to include all of them, just those that shmup enthusiasts consider good. If a sequal was good, I'll probably include the predecessors, even if they aren't as good. Here is what I've come up with so far from browsing forums and including everything on newer systems. EDIT: Updated to include recommendations through post #15. (On my system, they'll all show up in one gamelist, but I thought it would be useful for others if separated by emulator here) MAME v.146 or higher 1942 1943 1944: The Loop Master Aero Fighters Air Gallet Air Buster Alpha Mission Alpha Mission II Ark Area Armed Police Batrider Basugun Battle Bakraid - Unlimited Version Battle Chopper Battle Garegga Bee Storm Bells and Whistles Blaze On Blazing Star Boogie Wings Bosconian Brave Blade Carrier Air Wing Change Air Blade Chopper I Cosmo Gang The Video Cotton Cotton 2 Cotton Boomerang Cybattler Cyvern Dangan Feveron Darius Darius II Darius Gaiden Desert War Dimahoo DoDonPachi DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou DonPachi Double Wings Dr Toppels Adventure Dragon Blaze Dragon Breed Dragon Spirit Earth Defense Force Eco Fighters ESP Ra.De.

Edited my post with some you might want to check out, granted I know you said you didn't want everything and some may not be your cup o tea. You really did hit a lot of the "best" ones. But I love this genre.... i.e. Final Star Force for it's upgrade system alone.... Some may play it and say this game sucks balz... But I love it. |
