Shmup Ticker: What are you playing RIGHT NOW?

[Raizen1984]

Playing Radiant Silvergun for the umpteenth time. Truly one of the all time greats.

[KidQuaalude]

Gigawing, Mars Matrix, Dodonpachi and DDP Dai ou jou.

[Aquas]

Still Mushihimesama... I tried a run of Maniac the other day, I'm super rusty. I would need to watch a replay to refresh myself on my route >_> but I'm not too concerned about that at the moment. Trying Ultra and improving my Original run. Also trying out some of the Siter Skain games, they are pretty cool. I kinda wanna boot up the Dreamcast and see what I got to play on there. I hardly ever use the little white beauty

[gs68]

RayCrisis. I'm the only individual in the entire world who puts RayForce as his least favorite game in the Ray series.

[Marc]

I played me some Ikaruga last night. It's been a long, long time, and I can't even make onto my own leaderboard, which wasn't that great anyways. Man getting old sucks.

[BrightSuzaku]

I'm afraid to try getting back to Ikaruga. I was pretty bad before, and so I'm probably worse now.

Played rRootage again with my new joypad; it's of course much, MUCH easier with that. Then I played some XOP. I haven't gotten far in it, but so far I actually like it better than XOP Black. Weird, eh?

I will likely play Flying Red Barrel soon.

[Gespenst]

Trying to touch Metal Black...
and Zero Wing

[Battletoad]

Giga Wing, Under Defeat and Ikaruga. Can´t really decide on which one I want to concentrate the most... Just Ikaruga gets pretty annoying fast, so GW and UD are a bit more appealing at the moment.

[Domino]

Looped Outrun last night, the day before Aero Fighters. Trying to make Nostradamus my bitch.

[Marc]

Raiden 1 on PS Project. I need to stop filling from game to game and try and knuckle down and beat something, but I've recently unpacked the bits of my collection I have left and I'm having fun.

[null1024]

DDP, Mars Matrix, Touhou 2 , and LOTS OF Dangun.

[gs68]

Thunder Force IV.

So out of practice; decided to do 3->1->4->2 (instead of my usual 4->1->2->3), and made stupidass deaths all over the place. Died on stage 6, 2 stages earlier than my usual dying point.

[clp]

Homura and increasingly baffled at why this beauty is so underated.

[null1024]

Massive amounts of Mars Matrix, and about to play some Radiant Silvergun.

[Marc]

Lots of Shiki 2 on DC over weekend. I can make it to 3-1 consistently, but I find the stage a total nightmare, and not in a good way. The boss has me baffled as well.

[BrightSuzaku]

Played more XOP... this time in COLLEGE! During class! WTF! Uhm, I played on Very Hard mode, and level 1 is fine enough, until that boss LAZERED me. T_T And I was doing so well, too!

Especially since I was playing on the keyboard. Real keyboards > laptop keyboards. Of course, a joypad or Hori arcade stick is waaaay better than keyboards...

[neritai]

Touhou 8: Imperishable Night - Normal difficulty.

Am making it to Rainbow Danmaku on 6B, and am determined to 1cc the damn thing. I'm *this* close. It'd be my first 1cc of a danmaku at normal difficulty.

Alternating it with Espgaluda on the ps2.

[TLB]

Under Defeat.

[null1024]

Touhou 2 and 12 [and I stopped sucking, at least until the second boss... in 12, no miss+no bombed the first level on normal even!].

[Marc]

Battle Garegga. I’ve been looking to really put some time into one title, and this seemed the least likely of the bunch as I’ve veered between loving and loathing it ever since I first played it. Why, I don’t know, I spent two hours on it last night and I honestly can’t understand what’s not to love. Managed to clear four bosses on one credit using the Snail, which I was quite impressed with given that I’m far from a gaming demon and I’ve not played this properly in years. Yeah, be giving this some serious play for the next few weeks.

[gs68]

NOIZ2SA, rRootage, and Thunder Force IV.

[null1024]

Noiz2SA, Cho Ren Sha, and Touhou 12.

[ExitPlanetDust]

The Galactic Attack/Layer Section review from Classic Game Room HD has me playing it again.

[null1024]

Titanion, Touhou 7, and Cho Ren Sha.

[Aquas]

Hellfire, (I wanna play some Zero Wing), Flying Shark, Mushihimesama (the lx4 original mode and no miss are proving to be difficult, I've taken a short break,) Hellfire is really cool, I like it! Wanna play it some more. Oh yeah, I've been playing some touhou games here and there. Have nabbed a lot of the 1cc normals in the games normal modes, these are some good easy 1ccs Honestly the games are fun to play for survival atleast a few times. Haven't explored much of the hard modes. I want to dive into doujin touhou musics now, though, there's a lot of good stuff.

Of course, what I'm really pining for is Mushihimesam Futari (wow I need money)

[TLB]

Under Defeat.

[Ninshadow]

Gradius V, Thunder Force VI and Under Defeat

[TLB]

I almost started playing Progear, but now it's Under Defeat again.

[spadgy]

DDP:DFK at the arcade - Tiger Heli and Terra Force at home.

[TG-16]

Varth!
