Best Shoot Em Ups on Turbografx & PC Engine

[dqualls187]

Being a big Shoot Em Up fan I'm curious what some of the best shooters are on Turbografx and PC Engine. I have some good US Hu Card releases so far. Eventually I want to dive into import & cd games and would like to compile a good list. I know Sapphire is really loved and i actually picked up the PC Engine Best collection for psp a while ago that has Sapphire on it. Would love to get that some day. Wanting to know of other good ones though. I prefer Vertical Shooters but enjoy some horizontal ones as well. Air Zonk is amazing! So if you have some other favorites, please throw out some recommendations.

So far my Turbo shooter collection is:
Soldier Blade
Super Star Soldier
Blazing Lazers
Air Zonk
Aero Blasters
R-Type
Dragon Spirit

Spriggan comes to mind.

Thanks for the recommendations guys! And thanks for the link! This is what I was looking for!

Spriggan does look amazing! Will definately have to pick that up once i get a Duo.

Both Spriggans (I get shat on for liking MkII more but screw everyone)
Gate/Lords o' Thunder
Download 1 and 2, odd but good
Star Parodier
Parodius
Blazing Lazers
Super Star Soldier
Final Solider
Psychic Storm
Both of the Cho Aniki games, despite and because they are so "GAY" great graphics and music
R-type of course, I prefer the complete CD

I know I'm leaving stuff out, but others can fill in the gaps.

Nezxr is decent, technically beautiful and shows what pc engine super cd rom ( seems to be cousin of super star soldier) but hard

Image fight is good, tricky to play, cheap as well

Magical Chase is great and beautiful

Coryoon is good

First post truth!

So if you have some other favorites, please throw out some recommendations.

Dragon Saber is no slouch. Parodius is a top 5 for me, and cheap. Both Thunders area must.  Definitely enough existing threads for you to read.

I made a new signature for you, dqualls187.  You can thank me later.

I have signatures turned "off"....wow, I would really hate some folks based on sigs alone.

Shooters that I own:

Aero Blasters
Gate of Thunder
Lords of Thunder
R-Type
Gradius II Gofer
Blazing Lazers
Star Parodier
Psychic Storm
L-Dis
Super Darius
Forgotten Worlds
Ai Cho Aniki
Cotton
Side Arms Special
Monster Lair(Shooter Hybrid)

Of all of these my favorites are

Blazing Lazers
Lords of Thunder
Forgotten Worlds

Least favorite:

Super Darius. SD has gorgeous backgrounds, but except for the bosses the sprites are pretty ugly. The game is stupid hard, and the music sucks. That's all.

a lot of people say good things about kaiden 00 (sp?)
i have never played it, but i havent heard anybody complain about it.

i have been enjoying Override which is pretty cheap i believe.  Nothing stellar, but solid.

It's less hate, and more you need to resize it so it's not so huge.
