Coolest Shmups Ever
« on: November 04, 2004, 10:40:46 pm »
No, not another thread asking what the best shoot em up game is.  Just me saying thanks to all of you on this forum for mentioning DoDonPachi, which I have decided is the absolute best shoot em up ever.
I never heard of it until I saw it mentioned here, and I tried it out for the first time last weekend.  I've played it 3-4 hours daily since!!

It's great to discover new games every once in a while to breathe new life into your cabinet. ;D

DoDonPachi is great.  What is your highscore?  Mine is 16 mil.  The really good players get insane amounts.  Also, there are quite a few fun shmups in mame.  If you are interested in more SHMUPS you should check out http://www.shmups.com/

Well, I've only managed about 5 mil, but I never claimed to be good at shmups.  It doesn't make it any less fun!! :D
