Add

Mega Cd. Lords of Thunder

Sega 32X Kolibri

Thunder force 3 pal never released in UK, or anywhere in europe i think .

Dreamcast: Cannon spike if you consider it a shmup

[theevilfunkster]

Mobile Light Force 2 (Shikigami No Shiro) got a pal release? ive not seen it anywhere

[BulletMagnet]

You can add "Steel Dragon EX" (aka Double Shienryu) to the PS2 column. I also think that "Bokan to Ippatsu" got a PAL release on the PS1, under the title of "Time Bokan Yattaman."

[MovingTarget]

PS1 Raiden Project?

Time Bokan Yattaman was Bokandesuyo. The release was limited to Italy though, it was only available with Italian subtitles.

Mmm, yes. I think you're quite right.

[BulletMagnet]

Hm, was it really? Here's the site I saw it mentioned on:

http://www.retrogaming.it

Head to the "Playstation" section and then to "Time Bokan." Yes, the cover art is taken from Bokan Desu Yo, but the screenshots on the right side are from the first Bokan game. Unless they used the wrong screenshots for some reason?

At least they had the good sense to subtitle it instead of dubbing over the voices...

[MovingTarget]

That retrogaming site looks great, pity its no in english

[visuatrox]

Add all Amiga and C64 shooters to that list, the best machines for Euro-only shmupping

PS1 Raiden Project?

I think It was but I'm not too certain

[MovingTarget]
