Ta Brian! I did wonder... 3:

When you're playing a game that infinitely loops, do you pause to take a break or something every so often and leave the game on while you go to bed? Assuming you're good enough to loop the game to this point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra-X6L2kLT4 (the game apparently stops getting harder after Loop 10, but keeps going infinitely?)

Galaga 88 on PC Engine is a ton of fun (aka Galaga 90 on TG16). That's the one that jumps to mind concerning gallery shmups I can play for more than a few minutes. I'll never get sick of "THAT IS GALACTIC DANCING". I played it a lot on Wii VC but not recently.
That is Galactic Dancing
