Need shmup ship names...

Post by Vexorg »

I have a bunch of new computers on my lab bench here at work, and I've been using names of ships from various shmups (mostly the Raiden Fighters games) for machine names. Here's what I have so far on existing machines:

Darksword
Judgespear
Styx
Gauntlet
Vambrace
Rynex
Guardian
Griffin
Ikaruga
Ginkei
Aegis
Beastarrow
Endeavor
Chaser
Eraser
Deathheader
Ixion
Miculus
Bluejavelin
Ayrustalim
Windina
Peplos

From here, I need about 13 more (yes, I have a lot of computers here, and that's not even counting virtual machines.) Any ideas on names for the new ones?

I have to agree about the Farting Ballerina.

On a less creative note, Radio Zonde ships: Mahilo, Yoxola, Nyphn, Gophn, Hykyh, Khyh.

Here's what I ended up with for the new systems that went in:
Ayrustalim
Windina
Peplos
Hellhound
Solvalou
Twinbee
LordBritish
VicViper
Moai
BigCore (Not ships per se, unless you count Gradius Neo)
Zig
R-Gray1
Xexex (probably not one either, might change this to Axelay)
Raiden
Silvergun
Bladeowl

That should take care of machine names for a while.

Actually, there's some hidden mode in Recca called "Zanki Attack," which Babelfish translates as "Remaining Machine Attack," so I think "Zanki Bonus" is just a generic term.

I like Big Core. I had a Thunder Force V theme going on intially, with my harddrive named Guardian's Heart, the iPod named Vasteel Original, and my main folder named Judgement Sword. I changed JS to Big Core, so I may try and come up with a new name for my iPod, from a different shmup.
