I like Contra...the retro one on the NES........n 1942.....

define "shooting"

fps?
side scrolling shooter?
light gun games?

there are many "shooters" out there...which are you talking about?ALL?
or just side scrollers?

FPS
Shoot em' ups (SHMUP)
Side Scrollers
Rail Shooters (HoTD, Time Crisis)

Yang mana?

You want gila SHMUP, I suggest you go find Perfect Cherry Blossom and the other titles.

frm his choices, i guess top down shooting and side-shooters...and also FPS on newer consoles. i recommend:

Radiant Silvergun (Saturn)
Gunstar Heroes (Genesis)
Goldeneye, Perfect Dark (N64)
Metal Slug series (PS1)
Megaman X series (SNES)

crisis force - nes (top down shooting)
1945 - sega saturn (top down shooting)

Nobody mentions Einhander? I CURSE THE AIDS UPON THEE! D:<



Screw you Square Enix for spending too much time with faggoting up Final Fantasy and spending little attention on other, far more superior games (Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story, to name a few) which beats the crap out of controlling a whiny, sissy makeup fag exterminating sewer rodents for the next few hours just to gain frickin' level (sarcasm ends).

OK, so I admit that one of the games I mentioned (Vagrant Story) does put you in the shoes of an androgenous male character, but hey, at least he didn't whine, goes solo without any support, and beats the shit out of every single possessed armors, dragons, zombies, trolls, ghosts and whatever nasties he encountered.

Anyway, back to topic.



This Endymion FRS Mk II-Tan needs moar love.

shoot'em up on Saturn

Panzer Dragoon
Radiant Silvergun
Soukyugurentai
ThunderForce V

haven't played Battle Garegga, they said it's good too.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. (X360)
It was like... OH... MY...GAWD.

Nothing comes close to the Sega Saturn in terms of shooters, although the Mega Drive (JPN) eww not PAL comes a close second.

For Sega Saturn :
The KING of all shooters (consensus) anyway : Radiant Silvergun
I prefer Battle Garegga though
Do Don Paichi
Guardian Force
Soukyugerentai
Batsugun
Shienryu
Darius Gaiden
In the Hunt
Layer Section
Sonic Wings
1945
1945II
Sengoku Blaede ( my 2nd fav)
Twinkle Star Sprites
Cotton Boomerang
Cotton 2
Thunderforce
Thunderforce 2
Thunderforce V

I think there should be a hell lot more...


For MD there was

Alien Soldier (JPN)
Eliminate down
Gleylancer
Gunstar Heroes
Panorama Cotton
Robo Aleste

There are a crap more.

erm...Raiden II?

Gradius (ps1,ps2)
Geometry wars retro evolved (x360)

Contra Rocks!!! Makes me remember of my childhood...

I like shooters....but only in the arcades. Somehow, on consoles or PC, with no need to chug in ur hard earned coins, it just isn't as exciting.

How i wish i can slot in coins into consoles....maybe they'll make an adaptor to slot in coins?? LOL. I'll buy that!!!

Gradius III
Axelay
Twinbee
Assault Suits Valken

rocks my SNES.

Twinbee is a classic.....very fun to play type of a game....

also very hard game........better play 2 player.....

raystorm

Raiden!!!!!
1942!!
COntra!!!
Megaman X!!!
Metal Slug!!!
Gradius!!1
Gigawing!!!

Shmups, eh? I used to plunk down a bajillion cents into the local arcades playing them. Later, I started wasting a bajillion hours into the console ports. These are my fav shmups of all time:

Terra Cresta (arcade)
Gun Frontier (arcade)
Sky Adventure (arcade)
Super Contra (arcade/Famicom)
Sonic Wings/Aero Fighters (arcade/Saturn/Playstation)
Raiden II (arcade)
Super Spacefortress Macross (arcade)
Darius Gaiden (arcade/Saturn)
Layer Section (Saturn)
Radiant Silvergun (arcade/Saturn)
Ikaruga (arcade/Dreamcast)

These games are a list of games that I have previously played / owned only, so certain games like Gunstar Heroes for Megadrive didn't make my list simply because I didnt' own a Megadrive

Well, that's my list anyway. I'm sure all old school gamers will have their own list of favs. Sigh, how I fondly remember those days gone by...

anyone wants to play SNES shooting games multiplayer online? hihihi....now got the software already
