RayStorm
Mushihimesama, Mahou Daisakusen, Battle Garegga, Armed Police Batrider, Darius Gaiden
R-Type (1, 2, Delta, Leo)
FINAL is pretty weak, unfortunately.
Armed Police Batrider and Crimzon Clover are the goats
Danmaku Unlimited 2 and 3
Very strong Indie efforts.
ZeroRanger
As long as we're mentioning indies, Blue Revolver is actually pretty fucking great (think cave bullet patterns with raizing mechanics).
Do not mention Cave or Cave garbage on this thread; this has a potential to be a good shmup thread, lets keep it that way.
Last warning.
Thanks.
What are the essential shmups for someone just starting out in the genre?
Cho-Ren-Sha 68k
that looks shit and cheaply made
DoDonPachi is a good classic shmup
Lords of Thunder is my favorite console shmup
I absolutely love that game. One of the few shmup gems on the genesis The music was fucking straight up metal, and wonderfully composed.
Twinkle tale is another shmup classic on the sega that most people dont know about.
>that looks shit and cheaply made
?
How so? I know aesthetic sense vary, but I would not call the game cheap looking from what I played.
Most of Gradius, especially Gaiden and V, R-Type 3, Delta and Final, Soldier Blade, Mars Matrix, Blazing Star, Radiant Silvergun & Ikaruga, Alltynex Saga (Kamui, RefleX, Alltynex 2nd), Border Down, a bunch of cave shmups (Dodonpachi series, Mushihimesama, Deathsmiles, Progear, Dangun Feveron, Esp Ra De), ChoRenSha 68k, Genetos, Radio Zonde & Hellsinker, Mecha Ritz, Black Bird, ZeroRanger and a bunch more I can't recall at the moment. Google is your friend.

Fuck off Mark
The mobile ports informed me of the charms of the Raiden Fighters series. Solid stuff here.
Don't be like that, Truxton is fine.
This game is too deep for me.
What's wrong with Cave shooters?
No Recca fans?
Some of them have soulless/cringey/moe aesthetics, some of them are just kinda mindless clones of previous cave games with different coats of paint, or maybe the bullet patterns are seen as rote and casual? Hating Cave makes you seem more patrician? Just spitballing because idk what they were on about.
I remember playing this for the PAL Sega CD aaaaaaages ago, like very early childhood memories
He's probably afraid of CAVE fanboys from the general that will not be named. They can get pretty rowdy, as much as the Touhou fanboys.
have you heard of touhou?
Mushihimesama, Mahou Daisakusen, Battle Garegga, Armed Police Batrider, Darius Gaiden
Awesome thanks.
The Thunder Force series.
Psyvariar Delta and Mushihimesama
mushihimesama, eschatos, crimzon clover
I fucking loved MUSHA as a kid. Played through it many, many times.
Thunder Force and Darius series are great, and I'm a fan of Tyrian. Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun are must plays. Honestly, is a great list to go by.
Crimzon Clover
Anyone know a good place to get arcade roms? Ever since emuparadise died I've been at a loss.
Emuparadise didn't die.
cave owns, bitch
they peaked on the 68000 hardware and the PGM games fucking suck
Soldier Blade and Arrow Flash are pretty neat
I mean, it did and it didn't.
There's a script that re-enable their download links.
Oh shit
Thank you
The soundtrack for M.U.S.H.A. is sick as fuck.

My personal favorite shmup is Game Tengoku Cruis'n Mix.
Blue Revolver and RayForce are my runner-ups
Last Resort and Pulstar too
Devil Engine is not good. The only reason to support the game is because it is one of the few /agdg/ fags who made it
Judgment Silversword is an underrated game.
God damn I got your pic related game on steam during a sale and I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. Shit was fun.
Fuck off, 2hu fag.
>crying about Touhou out of nowhere
he was only shitting on Cave, Napoleon, no need to push your insecurities here
