I remember playing a game a long time ago that I loved but I can't remember what it was.
edit: please post vertical scrollers than you enjoy, and I will try them. I wasn't expecting to find the game i was thinking of lol, i literally can't remember anything about it

Here is a list of vertical shooter games in MAME: http://www.mamedb.com/category/Shooter/Flying+Vertical (http://www.mamedb.com/category/Shooter/Flying+Vertical)
Note that it is not filtered on space theme, but- if you're talking about a vertical scrolling shooter, good chance it's in that list.
-
There are literally hundreds of space related vertical scrollers. :lol
To answer the question in the subject line: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,122084.msg1295607.html#msg1295607 (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,122084.msg1295607.html#msg1295607)

I love playing guess the game as much as the next guy but need a few more details than space and vertical.
Did it have missile lock feature?
Time travel?
Lots of ship choices?
-
Forget about the one I am specifically thinking of, I can't remember enough about it other than i loved playing it lol..
in your opinion, what are YOUR favorites ones.
-
Fever SOS
Nostrodamus
Final Star Force (you may hate it, but I love the level up weapons)
Explosive Breaker (for the sheer ridiculousness)
Now those are only some of the space themed ones I like, obviously with the SHMUP genre being so broad there are plenty more to discuss. See Badmouth's link, thats a good thread and has a very nice list.

Juno First
Bosconian
Truxton
Phoenix

Personal favourite with a strong 'Space' theme is Viper Phase 1.
-
Kind of a vague question there.
Its like I saw something once when I was a kid but I can't remember. Does anyone know what it was. :lol
anywhoo, Gunlock is a pretty space shmup
-
DoDonPachi and Mars Matrix. <3 them games.

Was it on that road? The one with the fence beside it?

Yeah that's the one. And there was a tree.
-
You mean one with branches?

Which road? The one by the farm? Or the on by the railroad?

Getting back to the subject, how about these?
Lifeforce
Battle Garegga
Raiden series (not space technically, but some levels are)
Aero fighters (same as above, but I think there is a space level)
DeLuSioNaL29

Thanks I'll try those out.
So far, as far as vertical scrollers go, I am really enjoying "1944: The Loop Master".
-
Another vote for Viper Phase 1 :cheers:
-
1944 loop master is a great game (not space themed though)
I wish it was set up for a vertical monitor rather than being a vertical scroller on a horizontal monitor.
-
My favorite old school shmups are Lifeforce (side) and Awrofighters (top).
-
Technically, Lifeforce was both. :-)
