A lot of shooters like that also have state based damage - you can only be damaged by certain types of fire depending on the attributes of your ship. So for much of that fight there could easily be a lot of that ammo that is only noise and not actually needing to be avoided. It looks nastier than it is.

Ikaruga is a great example of this. While your ship is white, you absorb white bullets, and can only be harmed by black, and vice-versa. There is a level score you can achieve if you do not fire a single shot, surviving only by absorbing bullets, called "Dot Eater" See this for an example
ChadTower:
Ikaruga is exactly the game I was thinking of when I wrote that. Ikaruga is a ---smurfing--- incredible game on the Dreamcast.

Look into Imperishable Night and Perfect Cherry Blossom also, you can find the demos free on the Internet but you have to buy the full versions from import places or ebay cuz it is a doujin (independant) game made in Japan I think by a company called Shrine Maiden. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Curtain shooters or "bullet hell" games are really fascinating. Instead of tons of enemies like Galaga or 1942 used to do, the focus is on fewer enemies who shoot screen loads of bullets.
Most of these types of games give you points/powerup bonuses for rubbing against bullets without getting hit in the core and dying. And in games like Imperishable Night, the game has a meter at the bottom of boss fights telling you where the boss is so you can always be under them and shooting at them while staring at the bottom screen bullet patterns.
Games like these and DonPachi, DoDonPachi, (available in MAME) are so freaking rewarding - an easy game gets old fast but these take years to get good at.

I would love to make a shooter bartop like this. Love love love. I need to learn to make cabinets.
