Very high production values, great music, graphics, and gameplay. Otherwise, Touhou (any of them). --- End quote --- Is Touhou any good? I've heard that it has alot of really slow and dense bullet waves compared to some of the other shmups on the market today. --- End quote --- I like it, but that may not reflect the shump community. Touhou may be slower, but the pattern design makes up for it. Oh, and the music and art design are both pretty good. ...plus it's free, that always helps. |

I guess I'll download some and try them out and see how I like it. |

That's mainly because I suck at them. However, I just got Terra Cresta and I'm enjoying it so far. Probably not the best ever, but I like it. I like Legendary Wings too. --- End quote --- Yeah, Legendary Wings is very cool. Love the fantasy style of it. --- End quote --- I keep seeing this game lately. I guess I should finally pick it up. --- End quote --- It's an odd duck, but for the money it's a great game. You should easily find it for $5-$10. I really need to make a list of games that are high VALUE. It may be some type of Fun/$ type rating. This would fit perfectly in there. --- End quote --- I did indeed find it for about $5. I'm not sure how I feel about it. After cleaning my NES and getting the game running as it was supposed to (you know, not glitchy), my son and I played it for about half an hour or so, and I found it to be extremely difficult. The side-scrolling levels are interesting (my kid stumbled into that, I managed to avoid them), but I think player movement is too rigid compared to enemies. I have to agree, it really is an odd duck. And the man has wings, so that makes this a pun. |

Some of my favorites in no particular order. These were the type of games I use to play in the arcades. R-Type Lifeforce Twin Eagle Silk Worm UN Squadron Side Arms Twin Cobra |

Astebreed on the PC is pretty awesome. You pilot an awesome mecha with projectile weapons and a sword. The perspective also changes frequently throughout each level, so you often go from sidescroller to top-down and back in the middle of a level. I'm not sure how it compares to some of the other stuff in this thread though. My experience with shmups is pretty limited. |
