I had to go with Blazing Lazers, though I think it's a tougher call than the horizontal shooters.  All of the Soldier games are outstanding.

Super Star Soldier.

I hated shoot 'em ups before I played this game.

Some solid choices up there, but for me it's Soldier Blade VERY easily.

Lots of excellent titles, but BL is my fave. It was my first on the system and it was the one I always went back to. It let you in nice and easy and then, in the later levels, it tried to eat your face.

Metal Stoker is not a vertical shooter.  It's overhead, but scrolls in every which direction, like arcade Assault.  Will there be a poll for "misc/hybrid" shooters like Barunba, Kikikaikai, Metal Stoker, and Salamander?   Er... well SideArms and Mr. Heli scroll vertically too...  Space Invaders?  You shoot "up" into the screen like Galaga '88.

Yeah, I was about to say. Metal Stoker doesn't really belong here.

It was a tough choice between Soldier Blade and Gunhed but went with SB. Gunhed is a great game and I love it, but the majority of the game is so easy it almost gets boring after a while. Maybe I just played it too much?

Wow, my vote puts Soldier Blade and Blazing Lazers in a dead heat: 9 - 9.

Wow, if one guy hadn't misplaced his vote, Blazing Lazers would be in the lead right now.  I'm tempted to restart the poll and not mess with it so the "change vote" option is still intact.


nah, I wanted SSS

I've only played about 5 games on the list.  Voted for Soldier Blade, which at this point puts it in the lead.

So Salamander is considered neither a vertical or a horizontal shooter?

I'd say Salamander is a hybrid.  It's kind of both, and it's kind of neither.  To avoid complication, I left it off both polls.
