PC Engine (and FX) all shooter list (codename peacock)

[Bardoly]

Yeah, level 7? of Tailspin is a shoot-'em-up level.

[esteban]

Ghost Manor has a shooter section at the end.

I don't remember the flying sections of Tailspin very well, but they may be shooterish.

Shapeshifter also has a shooter section at the end.

HELL YES, THANK YOU .

MORE INFO, FROM EVERYBODY! Precise stages, descriptions, and screenshots... hahahahahhahahaha...

HELL YES, THANKS TO YOU

MORE, MORE, MORE, now, now, now

Details, screenshots....

I WILL MAKE A NICE PAGE IF I GET SOME INFORMATION. I WILL MAKE A PAGE NO MATTER WHAT. I LUVS THE SHOOTERS. I WANTS THE SHOOTERS.

Xak I & II has schump sections.

Youkai Douchuki boss fights have you flying around firing bullets at various enemies and the boss.

Vasteel's battles usually involve flying mechs that shoot and often are ships as much as robots. The base battles are similar to the first stage of Thunderforce II.






If you count shooting into the screen gameplay (Space Harrier, Afterburner, etc) as shooters, there's the shooting sequences in Snatcher, It Came From the desert and Lords of the Rising Sun.


Jim Power has schumping stages as well.




All of these images were stolen from The Brothers Duomazov.

Lol, 7 years

I have added two more shewties into MY "official" list of PCE shewters since then.

One sure was Cychorider and one other I have to find out right now..lol.

That would make a nice number of 111 shewties.

At the moment there are only 110 registered on PCE Daisakusen, because Cychorider is still not in the database:

Force Gear would be also a tempted title to add, but which is really just a sub game of a game and not an individual title.

Awesome.  

I didn't know about many of these! I love finding out about this sort of thing.

Don't forget tokimeki memorial's twinbee returns minigame!

[Black Tiger]

I thought that the Tokimeki Memorial mini games were what inspired the shooters-within-a-game list.

[Necromancer]

Fray has shewty portions.

So, if we were to break this list down into vertical shoot-'em-ups, horizontal shoot-'em-ups, hybrid (Salamander, Mr. Heli, etc...), platformer shoot-'em-ups (Wonder Boy III - Monster Lair - I usually call this style run-'n-gun, myself.), and whatever other styles, then how would these break down?

The second half of each level in Monster Lair is a traditional horizontal shooter.  Only the first part is run-and-gun. It strays from the other WB games in that sense.

Yeah, and as many times already explained

Bards must play his many many games a bit further than just 30 secs of the 1st level..hehe  O:)

True that.  You got me.     I usually try to play new games that I get for 1-5 minutes, just to test them, but since I usually get games in 4-10 at a time, I usually don't have enough time to play them much more than that.  Then, later when I have several hours to game with, I'll pull out a game that I want to play and try to play through it.  I'm currently up to almost 30 TG-16/PC Engine games that I've beaten in the last year, so my average seems to be beating one game every two weeks.  Of course, I do play some multi-player games (Bomberman and such) with my kids and friends in-between beating games.


Anyway, I'd like to break down the shoot-'em-up games list into sub-genre (horizontal, vertical, etc...)  and then try to classify the easiest shoot-'em-ups versus the most difficult ones.

What did John Brandstetter call Lords of Thunder in that interview? A "DVH shooter"?
