Then their bullets are sealed and you are safe. Make like Little Mac and press the select button.
Not if they're a Psikyo, which they probably would be if they were forcing to choose between these games at gunpoint.

NTSC-J: You know STGs are in trouble when you have threads on how to introduce them to a wider audience and get more people playing followed by threads on how to get its hardcore fan base to play them, too.

<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.

Can't I just shoot everyone, anyway?

Battle Garegga OR Armed Police Batrider
Toughest decision, I'd go with the ultimate genre reference, though.

Crimson Clover OR Daris Burst AC
I haven't played CC, but Darius is my favourite stg series.

Pink Sweets OR Ibara
I don't play it too often, but several aspects of Pink Sweets are references for me, even outside shmups.

Dodonpachi OR Dodonpachi Daioujou
Also tough decision, but on a less important level. I guess DDP is the more approachable one.

Mahou Daisakusen OR Great Mahou Daisakusen
MD has stellar production values and is a curiosity from a time that shifted from old school to modern, but GMD is one of the Great genre masterpieces.

Ketsuipachi or Saidaioujou
Presentation-wise they're both utterly generic, bordering on budget releases, but I like the intensity of SDOJ's gameplay.
