Re: Your Top-5 shmup soundtracks
In no particular order :
Akai Katana Arrange (the original is just as good but the arrange version is more to my tastes)
Battle Bakraid
Battle Garegga
Great Mahou Daisakusen
Raiden IV
At least for now. It will probably change when I get to play other STGs that I want to try out.
Honorable Mentions:
ESPGaluda 2
Mushihimesame Futari

Re: Your Top-5 shmup soundtracks
1. Saidaioujou OST is SO, SO, SO good. I just drove home in a rush hour traffic jam and didn't mind at all because I got some extra time to listen to it.
2. Daifukkatsu iPhone arrange. Yeah, I know a lot of people hate it. Fuck em.
3. Viewpoint
4. Eschatos (Need some Yasui in here, but Ginga Force just might replace it soon!)
5. Mars Matrix
Honorable mention to the Milestone games, always solid soundtracks. Even Chaos Field, for all its awfulness as a game, has some redeeming qualities in the fine soundtrack.

3. Embodiment of Scarlet Devil
4. Espgaluda
5. Mushihimesama
It's so hard to narrow it down to a Top 5, and so many soundtracks that I love that I had to leave off the list. G-Darius, Ikaruga, Gate of Thunder, Mushi Futari, Axelay, Xexex, Thunderforce IV and V... there is tons of great stuff out there.

Re: Your Top-5 shmup soundtracks
It makes me really glad to hear that this game still isn't forgotten! Hellfire used to be one of my favorite Toaplan shmups back in the day. The first two stages have amazing music!chempop wrote:Hellfire

Re: Your Top-5 shmup soundtracks
off the top of my head and without having replayed all shmups recently (some i haven't played for over a decade)
1 DoDonPachi
2 Space Megaforce
3 Batsugun
4 Soukyugurentai
5 Gradius V
basic stuff! am replaying a bunch of stuff lately and playing a bunch of shooters i never got around to, so, who knows, it could be revised, but this is the traditionally held list ive had for years now.

Re: Your Top-5 shmup soundtracks
*addendum: High Velocity Mountain Racing Challenge (1v1 Saturn car racer made by Cave in 95)'s soundtrack sounds like remixes of DoDonPachi songs.
recommended.
i finally just played that Sapphire game for PC Engine and that soundtrack is great.

Re: Your Top-5 shmup soundtracks
This is very difficult for me because this genre has my favorite music like in general.
But if I had to try...
1) Devil Engine
2) DoDonPachi 1
3) Thunder Force 4
4) DoDonPachi Black Label Arrange
5) Axelay
See I'm not even confident in that list. I have to think about this. lol

Re: Your Top-5 shmup soundtracks
Yeah, a top 5 isn't sufficient. We need a Top 25 Shmup OSTs of All Time thread with Nifty's system to make this make sense.
Re: Your Top-5 shmup soundtracks
- 1. Crimzon Clover World Ignition
2. Battle Garegga
3. Daifukkatsu Black Label
4. Ketsui
5. Ikaruga
Re: Your Top-5 shmup soundtracks
I love how many constants there are in this thread. I see Thunder Force a lot.
