PCE shooters have lost their magic for me...

[Arkhan]

Does Insanity count as a shooter?  I pick that.

I picked up Insanity X on XBLA last week or something. It was very addicting!

DUDE!!! \o/  5 star it so i get f*cking ratings. 

Noone can see the game unless its like 4 stars or better.  Push me past the 3.5 mark GOGOGOGO!

they jacked the menu up so most people sort by most downloaded, or highest ratings.

They should just randomly put 10 games on the main screen and go hey get this.

[Obfuscate]

Yeah, Top 10!

1.) Soldier Blade
2.) Lords of Thunder
3.) Gate of Thunder
4.) Thunder Force 3
5.) Nexzr
6.) Cotton
7.) Rayxanber 2
8.) Sapphire
9.) Spriggan
10.) Air Zonk

Hmm.. I must have a bias! Also, M.U.S.H.A I actually don't like and Axeley is good but doesn't make my top 10. Don't have any experiance with Saturn shooters and dislike PS1 shooters for the most part. PC Engine and 16 bit shooter era games are my favorite by far.

Done. Or at least I think so. I had the choise to rise the stars to five, but then I didn't get a "confirm-button" or anything like that so I'm not sure it was registered.

Lot's of things I do are considered crimes.

But there are good "even necessary" crimes and morally bad crimes. this goes under the latter.

yeah, I noticed that too. I think it just confirms it when you stop touching it, lol.  I hope.

Thread explode!

when i got my daioujou, i've first thougt this must be a joke.

True. When I played the Saturn DonPachi for the first time, my jaw dropped. When I played the 2nd go-round (after beating it), I had to call the dentist.

But then they f*ck it up by making the player character a pair of talking tits, more or less.

Muchi Muchi Pork much?

Only logic can be applied to games where there are flying tits and lazers.

Tits and lasers, oh my! Sign me up!

Are there any shooters on the PCE that the AI improves the better you do (points, power ups, no deaths etc)? 

Paodious will give you a differnet stage boss if your doing better (at least on the challenge mode). Sex Parodius have alternate next levels when you achive the current stage goals, but that's not on PCE.

I haven't played Muchi Muchi Pork but I remember feeling very much attracted to the artwork.

OK how about best ship design.

If you got pictures, show 'em!


The RVA-818 X-LAY

[Starfighter]

My favorite shmup "vehicle" (not all are ships like we are about to be reminded of) is hands down Kiniro. The bug you ride on in Mushihimesama.



Close runner-up is Opa Opa.

[sunteam_paul]

R-9 is a classic

[Black Tiger]

Opa Opa is one of the greatest game characters of all time.

The original R-Type ship (r9?) is one of my favs, along with the red Darius ship (Procco?).

The valkyries from Macross are as epic as it gets. Any game that lets you play as skull leader would br one of my favorite.

The player 1 Sidearms mecha.
