Vertical shmups ship names.

Post by Pixel_Outlaw »

Maybe I'm just clueless but it seems like horizontal shmups have more named ships than vertical shmups. I'd be interested in learning if this is true.... :oops:
Some of the best shmups don't actually end in a vowel.

In the middle of writing a pro logging industry paper actually. 8)
Oh and I am listening to various rock groups such as CCR , The Beatles and Foreigner.

But there seems to be a lack of named ships in verts.

Ironically, you're right. Every ship name I remembered so far are horizontal shmup ships.

On the other hand, there's Axelay, Aura-Wing, the Giga Wing ships, the Mosquitoes,
MX5000, Twinbee, Daedalus, Reco, Those two ships from Ketsui, Even Vic Viper became vertical at one point in Salamander and I can just go on forever and ever ... okay I'll just shut up now.
