I might just turn the question around.

Which shooters do you miss?

I still need Gaia Seed, sky cruiser, DDP SDOJ, Akai, Gallop, Dragon Breed.

wow great collection guys...

Hi I'm brandnew here but been reading silently for weeks and months now

Last month i went crazy with updating my 360 shmup collection. A friend of mine sold me his japanese 360 for a laughably cheap price and since then i bought quite a lot of games.

Still need 4 more 360 shmups and instant brain for the complete set. Got all the Pal Versions (living in Germany).

Here is a quick look at the current state (missing the limited of Bullet Soul Infinite Burst and the 4 Pal releases [DDP Res, DS, Akai, UD])

You really don't need Gaia Seed, trust me.

Finally, full set of Saturn JP shooters is complete, including Satakore versions and other multi edition.
Restriction : horizontal or vertical forced scrolling only. (i.e. no rear view shooters)
55 titles total, let me know if I miss some.



EDIT brag picture added :

Picture of my collection at this point in time:

Have included the few arena/twin stick shooters I have but no run n gun or on-rails here.
I have a few PS2 compilations such as the Taito and Capcom collections but I have excluded those too.










Have included the Bit.Trip Collection as one of the games is an interesting take on the shmup genre called Bit.Trip Fate that is worth a look

Well, here is my new set up for save the universe.



Benq Zowie 27", let's go it has two HDMI and audio output, i'm really happy with it.

Nice.

I rotate my CRT from time to time but I'd like something a it more permanent.

Hi guys , some pics of my treasures :

Nice games room. Looks like people enjoy it too.

The link is not working

Wanted to remember what use to be of my Saturn Shmup collection. Still got a few gems left but I'll never see own another copy of Blast Wind ever again!

The image is here, high res : https://photos.app.goo.gl/f2nyu2M5Di4Kqjz57

That list I posted earlier was incomplete. Now I hope I can say I do have the fullset of everything ~shmups, all with spines. Will take a picture when I feel like getting everything out of the closet where it is tightly stored.
Would appreciate if anyone could point out a missing title :

JP Saturn shmups : horizontal or vertical scrolling


JP Saturn other shmups (rear view, fixed scrolling, hidden shmups)

Not my collection but my favorite item;



Got the Comiket release years ago and the signed custom cover from Famibe no Yosshin himself a few weeks ago

Can you clarify what that item is? I’d that the Cho Shen Ra something or other?

I was wondering what it was myself, possibly a flyer/manga mag?

On the left is the "official" comiket release and on the right is a cover that Yosshin created and signed for me after a very long conversation.
I was blown away when i recieved it.

Wow, you guys have some impressive collections

Holy shit. That candy cab collection up there is awesome.

I'll share with you my shmups collection for Pc Engine and Sega Saturn.

Yes, gotta love that Saturn shmup set up here ^ Tasteful

Covid quarantined, I decided to let some JP SS spine cards out, now with new images host. Hopefully pictures work :

[spoiler=]

This is the stupid collection : gather as many Gundam Side Story I, II and III in jewel case versions as possible. Codes are T-13307G, T-13311G and T-13313G.

Here we have a picture of its state as of april 2020 (Covid-19) : 10 x SSI, 6 x SSII, 1 x SSIII

Note that Side Story III T-13313G is definitely one of the rarest game in the system, the lack of its spine card on this picture kills me a bit more every day.
