(Keep in mind run n gun is a completely different genre, so Metal Slug, Contra, Gunstar Heroes, Pocky & Rocky, etc. are off the table for now)

Lords of Thunder

Nice, PCE games that aren't Rondo don't get a lot of love around these parts

Raiden V was pretty great
Nemesis for GB is a classic as well
Cotton just got a port which is also good. Lots of waifus there

RayForce in general seems like such a baller series... Taito's truly the grandmaster of the genre

I'm kind of surprised that I'm the only one that mentioned ikaruga. I thought it was pretty universally acclaimed as one of the best shooters in the genre. Do people just not like it because you don't get weapon upgrades?

Anyone ever try Radiant Silvergun?

No but Id love to someday - on the OG hardware, if possible. Got a copy of Darius Gaiden fairly recently and along with the Saturns hardware being a dream for shmups already theres something about playing shmups on a Saturn controller that just feels so right

  • listen to another shmup soundtrack and get blown away by how good it is
  • get interested and play it
  • realize I suck
  • repeat step 1

Guardian Legend

I should really add that one to my collection, with the retro game market in its current state + how expensive Compile games usually are in general its amazing you can still find that game for under $30

Air Zonk's music is cool even if it's not typical shmup fare & I hear it's pretty mellow on the difficulty side (by genre standards, I mean)

Galaga,no contest.

You have to play it on an actual cabinet because the home ports isn't the same.

It's fucking god-tier. I have it on the Sega Saturn. It's the game I came in here to vote for.
