Scrolling Shootemup recommendations?

[rchadd]

I was a big fan of vertical and horizontal scrolling shootemups games such as 1942, twincobra, rtype etc..

Just wondering if anyone knows of more obscure mame games that i should take a look at in this genre?

Ghost Pilots
1941/2/3/4/xx

Visit http://www.shmups.com/ fora lot of shoot em up reviews.  The forums are decent too.

I like Battle Bakraid.  Gigawing I and II are ok.  U.N. Squadron is fun.

My fave old school shooter is Terra Cresta ... mega addictive.
