What are your top 5 shoot 'em up games for the TG-16/PC Engine?

I should be receiving my Tatsujin Hu Card in the mail any day now, will drop in and let you know my thoughts if interested 

Please do!  I am crazy enough to even own the arcade board, which cost me and took two years to track down.  Very much worth the expense, though, and it is still a sight on a 25 inch arcade CRT.

You have the arcade board?  Nice!


Can we see some pics?  Maybe some video of it in action?

Sure, some pictures in a new thread, maybe?  I don't want to derail this one, that would not be a good thing for a brand new member (me!) to do.  Be careful though; arcade collecting can, much like tg16/pce collecting, become very addictive, rewarding, and expensive!

The PC Engine version is closer to the arcade than the MD version. It's also supposed to have anywhere from better to great music, but I'm not crazy about it. You can read a detailed review here:

It took you two years to track down a Tatsujin PCB?  You must be talking about the US Truxton version.

Oh wow, the Arcade PCB so awesome! I'd love to see pics if it's not too much trouble.

Okay, I'll get my cab back in order this weekend and I'll snap a few pictures
Oh, and yes, it is the US Williams distributed Truxton PCB.  It only took me so long to find a price I was willing to pay because I am a typical arcade collecting cheapskate (we all are).

Back to the regularly scheduled thread....I don't want to summon the ire of the thread maker!

[geise]

Oh, ok.  Awesome.  I have the Tatsujin pcb and it was fairly cheap.  I figured it was the US Truxton you were talking about.  What cab are you using?  *drails thread even more*

[ifkz]

Well, I guess this is helping my post count so I can participate in the Deep Blue raffle....

It is a conversion cab, formerly Leland's Quarterback, that was extra popular with arcade operators to make into Raiden II.  From the shell I found, I improved it, but it still needs work (mainly I need to cut a new control panel plexi).

Back to the thread (I hope!)....

I always agonize too much over "Top X" lists, because I don't always have clear feelings about games. I mean, as far as like / don't like, sure, but I'm overly analytical about the stuff I really love. So here's my attempt at this top 5 list.

In no particular order:
[ul][li]Blazing Lazers[/li][li]Aeroblasters[/li][li]Gate of Thunder[/li][li]Nexzr[/li][li]Star Parodier[/li][/ul]Probably easy to figure out my shooter tastes from this list, I bet.
