I can't pick only 5; I suck at narrowing things down.

The shooters, they effeah me, they effah me real bad, but I enjoy playing them, so I guess its like enjoying an abusive relationship.

1.) Air Zonk
2.) Cotton
3.) Magical Chase
4.) Dead Moon (don't judge :(
5.) hmm I wanna say Aero Blasters but that game makes me so effffing mad, so instead a not that great game Cyber-Core!!!! (better than sinistron (spelling?) at least

also wanna metion that I like Paranoia/Psychosis, not in the fivessss but its okay-ish I guess, at least so far what I've played, will need to give it more time soon-ish, but its kinda gonna wait in line behind Ys and Samurai Ghost for a min. :)

ALL OF THEM!

(well, save for Armed F and Ordyne...I did not care for those)

All of them, including Deep Blue & Legion!?! :D

For me:

Spriggan
Lords of Thunder
Gate of Thunder
Air Zonk
Star Parodia

It's hard to pick just 5, I'd also go with Blazing Lazers, & all Star Soldiers, Aeroblasters, etc. etc. etc.

What's so wrong with Armed Formation F?  It's a fun game!

1.) Soldier Blade
2.) Nexzr
3.) Lords of Thunder
4.) Rayxanber 2
5.) Gate of Thunder

Gosh, Image Fight 2 is so close to these also, I could make an argument for all 6 they are the best on the system.

Word.  I almost added Rayxanber II.  I love/hate that game so much.  For a regular CD-Rom2 game it is definitely up there as some of the best on the system.
