Preferably games where both the enemy, the enemy bullets and the player move fast, like in Dangun Feveron.

As I discovered when I got my Ibara PCB where the previous owner had set the dip-switches to some insanely fast settings, many PCBs allow you to make the game as fast as you want. Of course if you want to log official high-scores in places like this, you want to stick to defaults, but with PCBs you're the boss...

Nexzr is relatively fast.

I asked about shmups that are as hectic and twitchy as Feveron on some previous version of the forum . Nobody really had a good answer. Aside from Parsec47 and Raiden Fighters Jet, nothing else I've played comes close.

Torus Trooper is really fucking fast but basically unplayable. Parsec47 is good. But I have this problem there lately where a sudden screenflood triggers slowdown and I run into stuff before I even know the speed's changed because I'm not watching the ship. It still hurts less than turning off wait though.

If you count After Burner as a shmup, well, there's a good example.

Slow down.

Torus Trooper is very fast, but not in the same way Feveron is fast. Torus Trooper feels more like a racing game; you kind of weave through stuff, moving almost fluidly. Feveron and Parsec47 are a lot more spastic. It's kind of like how Crazy Taxi and F-Zero GX are both fast games, but they're different kinds of fast.

Maybe I just don't get the game. It's unplayable if you try to go at full speed, because you can't even see anything; so you have to go slower, maybe speculate that when there's simple enemies then you can go extra fast until the next pattern change without much risk of dying in a flash. Does that even work? I dunno, it never did a lot for me, and the game always felt like 95% luck, 5% skill or so. Entirely possible that it's all my fault, but my experience was still that it's no fun.

Also, racing game on a random course? Doesn't sound right.

Raiden Fighters Jet was mentioned, but using the Judge Spear on any of the Raiden Fighters games will get you a very fast-paced game.
