Basically just playing Esprade, which I just got.

But today I somehow found myself playing Darius Twin on Super Famicom. It's actually not bad.

PC Version of Shiki III.

Alternating between Batrider and Dogyuun in my lovely new Supergun.

Batrider really is an awsome shmup experiance. The only Raizing I have played has been Garrega and Souky.

Batrider may not seem like much at first but after getting down the hitbox and the breakneck speed of the game, everything just clicks. By the time you get to stage 4 blasting baddies away while your crusing down the Beach you cant help but just grin.

Hooked on Bakraid! Manic & challenging shmup! Alternatively, for a lite shmup experience there's always something older like Thunder Cross and Sonic Boom..

Going hard at PCB Truxton, Raiden 2 on Jap PSOne and the magnificence that is Ibara (Arrange) on Jap PS2 - soon to shift all attention to Cyvern

Looking at Dogyuun and Hellfire as potential Christmas purchases!!!

Cheers

Just got Ibara! Maybe a bit more Dragon Blaze to fend off the STGT competition.

Strike Gunner and Sexy Parodius. no real reason (except that Parodius is disturbingly addicting.)

I'm been rotating through Batsugun, Hyper Duel, Zero Gunner 2 and Thunder Force V for the last two weeks or so.

Xyanide. Seriously, I will make it my bitch.

Shiki3 (great game) and a lil' bit gigawing2.

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Sat Oct 07, 2006 5:08 am

I'm not sure if I like Ibara. It's certainly no Batrider.

Back to Garegga (again) now that I have my Saturn here. Screen cut-off effect when using s-video is very annoying. I'm gonna try to find a composite or even r/f cable and see if that helps

Was playing Steel Empire last night, and I'm thinking about trying DonPachi again this evening.

Tatsujin Ou for the FM-Towns, the last half of stage1 reminds me DDP.

Got out of retirement by ALL'ing Armed Police Batrider again and improved my score.

Right now I'm playing Shikigami no Shiro 2, trying to ALL it and get a respectable score.

SuperGrafx · Post by **SuperGrafx** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 11:21 pm

I reluctantly bought the last copy (open box) of Xyanide at Gamestop. Honestly, this is not exactly my kind of shooter so it's decidely average in my book. I'll be back to playing Under Defeat or Radirgy soon it seems.

JJG · Post by **JJG** » Sun Oct 15, 2006 6:21 am

I have no hi scores right now because I have the issue of having too many games to play right now.

I'm currently playing Layer Section 1&2, Soukygurentai, Ikaruga, Gunbird 2, Gigawing, Thunderforce IV, and Aero Blasters.

Soon I'll be playing Radirgy, Border Down, and Xyanide for like 5 minutes heh heh...

Eventually I'll focuse on one game I guess...

Trying to spend some time working on Raiden DX(PCB) to try to get further on one credit (got a way to go for that though.)

UnscathedFlyingObject · Sun Oct 15, 2006 7:30 am

Dodonpachi Daioujou as most of you should know by now. Toughest game I've ever played but it has me hooked like crack. Playing in Yoko is a little hard since bullets are wayyy too close together. I wish I had a TATE monitor to play this.

thepeaguy · Post by **thepeaguy** » Sun Oct 15, 2006 7:53 pm

I'm currently playing R-Types on my Playstation 2, where I am hoping to beat the community's highest score of the original R-Type.

Brave Blade & Air Gal... whoops

Ibara Black Label... Better than Ibara IMO.

Danny · Post by **Danny** » Sun Oct 15, 2006 9:56 pm

I am playing Titan Attacks (PC), Raiden III (PS2) and Homura (PS2) at the moment and to be honest I am really enjoying them all.

I intend to review all three on my website on one form or another. I intend to review Raiden III and Homura togther and compare them with each other since they are both budget Shmup titles published by Gamestreet 505. Should be intresting since they are two completely differnt types of vert shmup.

Now back to Titan Attacks, I must get higher on the internet high score board lol.

Yalkina STG and Air Gallet.

Still love the game's explode-iness.

I agree, Xyanide just isn't my cup of tea/pop/water.

I almost want to sell it but it's probably not even worth the time..

I'm currently playing Soukyugurentai (Saturn Jp)

Ahh! Losing focus!

I'm playing anything and everything right now, although I play an average of 1 credit per game before moving on.

Between rounds of Suchie Pai II, Suchie Pai Remix and IQ, I've been returning to Under Defeat. I'm determined to break 4 million.
