Shmups Forum :(

Got ticked off of Air Gallet and Anthro Dunces earlier. Not willing to try Twin Cobra II again quite yet, and plus I've got stuff to do.

OH MY GOD. Radirgy is SO FREAKING GREAT. :shock:

I just got it yesterday and it's already one of my favorite shmups EVER. It's so damn good it might even make it to the top of my voting list on the Top 25 thread before the day it's closed. On second thought, no it can't.

And why the fuck did it take so long for someone to make a cel shaded shmup? It's the best idea ever.

Still playing 'In the Hunt', and I just had the most frustating thing happen to me...

I no-missed up to the last boss, fully powered up and ready to finish this game once and for all...then I stupidly bump into him before the battle starts! I had to face him with no powerups :x I didn't had a chance.

The only reason I'm not really pissed off is because the 1cc (or maybe 1lc) is just around the corner.

EDIT: And the hunt is over 8)

I have been playing Nanostray 2 DS, Super Aleste SFC, and Tyrian 2000 PC lately. Deleted Tyrian after beating it, though. A real guilty pleasure game. Great music and atmosphere, but the usual "euroshmup" traits like unavoidable hits, bosses that like to ram into you, and enemies that take too many hits.

Went back to Ikaruga (DC)... started using a joystick while playing for the first time and it was like learning to walk all over again.

Playing Progear (still), Fushigi no Dungeon 1&2, and Rockman World. Not sure which Rockman World exactly, but I'm going with 1 and 5 for now.

And if I dare, anything else.

Mostly just been playing Cotton Boomerang and Sengoku Ace this week, along with a bit of Mushihime-sama - also had the urge to play Sol Divide for some reason.
