darksnowman Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 IGN Retro have a top ten shmup list and here it is: 10. Fantasy Zone9. Axelay 8. Space Invaders 7. Starwars: the arcade game 6. R-Type 5. M.U.S.H.A 4. Lightening Force (aka Thunder Force IV) 3. DoDonPachi 2. River Raid 1. Radiant Silvergun I won't even pretend that I've played all of them games. My favourite from their list is probably R-Type. One of my favourite shmups is Pop n Twinbee because you just gotta love a quirky game. One I really liked on the Gameboy when I was wee was Solar Striker. So what are your favourite old skool shooters? Gradius? Xevious?
gaggle64 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 The Star Wars arcade game was pretty funking awesome.
Pete Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 As it has no games from the Raiden series nothing from the 194... series no Parodious or the lesser known Battle Garegga it is not a very good list. Thunder Force IV and R-Type are very good games though.
Strange Cookie Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 I think Axelay may have been a bit higher on the list, but I'm glad it made it in the first place. It's an awesome game and one of the reasons I still have my SNES hooked to my HDTV. And yep, I love Pop'n Twinbee too! The bells! The bells!
