Yeah, man, ALL GAMES shared on blog are shmups, except "Dungeonette". The TASBPAN blog is exclusively for shmups
Dunegonette is mentioned because it is the first commercial game for this new platform and set sales standards.

Don't worry about this: the ZX NEXT creators built at least three emulators. it will not be for lack of money to buy the actual machine you will not have fun!

Re: ZX SPECTRUM NEXT - A NEW PLATFORM FOR GOOD SHMUPS
Mac can also be a good platform for shmup games as it gives good speed and graphics quality. Though it is a little complex working it out in Mac because of its compatibility issues. You can take some suggestions from Apple Support USA in case you want to run shmups on Mac and facing issues.

I'm convinced this Is the most exciting platform around. Too bad It seems so scarce and difficult to acquire one...
