So while I'm working on fixing my 1945 Strikers Board I'm contemplating what I might eventually put in my dedicated SHMUP cab.
Here are some potential candidates (based on what's available, JAMMA, and semi reasonably priced, I'm not paying $1200 for DoDonPachi or $600 plus for other CAVE titles regardless of how awesome they are)
Samurai Aces
Raiden 2 (bonus, not emulated perfectly in Mame)
Nostradamus
Mission Craft (bonus, not emulated perfectly in Mame, and very cheap)
What would your hypothetical SHMUP cab have?
Here's some I'd love to have if they were available and I was rich
Grind Stormer/ V-5
Mushihimesama
DonPachi
Fixeight
Macross Plus
