Ok so a long time ago I remeber playing an amazing shooter that was kind of futeristic/fantasty with lots of different characters and you collected magic books with wings to power up. Does this ring a bell for any of you?

Mahou Daisakusen perhaps?

Also, try to be more specific next time. Console game or arcade game? When did you play it? Do you remember any bosses?

Definately "Mahou Daisakusen" or "Sorcer Striker" the first Raizing coin-op game production...

No thats not it. Its an arcade game and some characters rode dragons and some didn't -__- it was reallly long ago and I can't remember much accept it was awsome. And I rememer one level had a big airship of somekind, like a Final fantasy type thing.

Yea they looked like flying spell books and it was verticle I want to say one boss was a big flying dragon thing but I'm not completley positive.

This is better than an episode of Morse.

Honest to God, the description just fits that of 'Sorcer Striker'.
*looks harder*

Acctually looking back at the post Dimahoo looks really similar to what I remember. I'll check it out. Thanks man.

Here´s a Dimahoo video. I think it was pretty widespread for a shmup at that time.

FUN FACT: You can´t tell from that video, but Dimahoo has easily the most complicated scoring system ever, which includes timed charge attacks that trigger a ton of different medals.

Noting beats Battle Bakraid mate.

The retarded multiply system is annoying and not user friendly.
