Looking for a PC shmup 2000

Post by kilon »

Hey guys, I am new to the forum.

So, back in 1998-2002 I was playing a shmup that i really loved. However I lost it and then forgot its name. The only thing I remember , I hope correctly, is that it was not a top down but rather a side scroller shmup with music that was a combination of electronic with heavy metal.

I tried to google it , but it gives all sorts of random results. Do you know if there is a way to find out which on it was. I dont think it was a popular shmup but it had great graphics.

Do you remember anything else about it? Like what kind of weapons did it have? Did the stages look mechanical or organic or both?
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

No it was definitely not organic, I remember now that it may not have been exactly side scroller but rather it was with an angle the camera was on the side but also upwards, it was pseudo 3d and the graphics most likely 3d rendered, were actually very detailed in similar style like SkyForce

On the matter of weapons again like SkyForce they were not exaggerated. I do remember, but I am not sure, maybe rockets.
The date that I bought it is certainly between 1998-2003 and most likely 1998-2001
