Aero Fighters [SNES], and the Japan ship is the only decent one...
R-Type III [SNES], trying to get used to the second force [always just used the traditional one]...

Having fun with X-Multiply on my PSP. First loop clear in sight.
Too busy or tired to session anything more demanding at the moment.

ESPGaluda... and a bit of Gradius I, Twin Hawk (Daisenpu), Flying Shark here and there. The Toaplan shooters are really cool, it's too bad a lot of them have emulation problems. But I'll take what I can get.

Have you tried Twin Cobra? It works perfect in mame and in my opinion its Toaplans finest moment (when it comes to their old school stuff that is)

I overlooked that one somehow. Gave it a credit this morning and hey, it's got a lot of action! Different shot types are interesting with that kind of gameplay... 8) Will try it some more.

Homura on PS2. I'd never heard of this game until fairly recently, so i was surprised at just how good it is when I bought it.

Plus a bit of Border Down and Dux on DC.

I'm also playing the Raiden FA demo on 360, only because no one wants to release any PAL shmup goodness over here!! :cry:

Tumiki Fighters [got to see level 4!]
rRootage

On a side note, I've upgraded to OSX10.4 [it's a slow bitch, as bad as 10.2]. At least Safari isn't crashing like it used to.

Mostly playing Darius Gaiden for SAT which I'm enjoying too much, this game has quickly become one of my favorite hori shmups.
Little bit of In The Hunt which is pretty cool, met my expectations. Truxton and Elemental Master for GEN when I have the system hooked up.

Nice to hear people still enjoying such a range of games. Some of my personal favorites like Gunbird 2 and Souky still getting the love they deserve. Next week though is going to be Death Smiles since my 360 finally shipped from play-asia.

Dangun Feveron. I'm so mad at my self, I died with bombs almost every death [except my last]. Got to level 3 though, I'm getting much better at most shmups.

Strikers 1945 Plus. I usually avoid the Pancake in Strikers II, but it gives this game such a wicked rhythm of 1) annihilate everything onscreen with laser sweep 2) mad dash for gold 3) holy shit, where'd all these bullets come from?! Dodge like a mofo!! 4) repeat until boss arrives. I'll have to put this on my MVS cart shopping list, been playing it all evening in MAME.

I've been playing Strikers II, practicing the loop. I have 3 of the 4 opening stages pretty much down but getting destroyed on the stage that opens with the tanks. Especially the 5 (?) groups of 3 turrets. I'm sure there has to be a safe spot but I can't find it.

Finally beat Radio Allergy/Radilgy(Wii UGS).

Karous can die in a fire. Maybe I'll try to beat Chaos Field next.
