I recently purchased Gradius III and Darius Twin for the SNES, and I have an itch to play more good/better shmups. I payed about $13 combined for both Gradius III and Darius Twin, so I'm looking for affordable games. I currently own an NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, PS2, Gamecube, and a Wii. What other shumps can I play without spending tons of money? |

Super R-Type is usually pretty cheap as it was an early SNES title produced in large quantities. I'm also under the impression that some releases of the Thunder Force series for Sega Genesis are very affordable. |

One word, MAME I have played most shooters I've always wanted to play, but did not have the money to purchase through MAME and with only a few exceptions, they play flawlessly. Their are certain titles that do not run well in MAME, for example the Sega ST-V titles like Radiant Silvergun and Soukyugurentai, which is a real shame since both are among the best SHMUPs ever made. Also, there are several highly desired shmups on Steam that you can typically buy for cheap as well. |

This has a bunch of fantastic shoot-em ups. Well worth it's value if you're a fan of the genre. |

Yes get this! it is like $20 and if you were to guy each of the individual SHMUPs on there they'd go for $800+ combined. |
