Hmm, I'll probably have to edit this in once RB posts the current version. Thanks for the tip, though.Mero wrote:I know it's a bit late but OTZ Sonic Wings and Rabio Lepus both save high scores. You have to save manually on the options screen. Sonic Wings has auto load but Rabio Lepus doesn't, so every time you load up RL you have to remember to load up your scores too (I overwrote my scores a few times because of this).

Well, I love the soundtrack and I really liked the overall style from the little I've seen from it.ShmupSamurai wrote: btw, am I one of the only few people that enjoyed Chaos Field?
Heh, sorry, but I can only call 'em as I see 'em personally...not like my opinion is anything resembling definitive, naturally. Case in point:Koa Zo wrote:can't help but love lines such as this...regarding what may be my favorite PS2 shmup!
I can definitely see the appeal in all the trimmings for dyed-in-the-wool fans of the featured titles, but considering that they're up against collections including dozens of (fuller-featured and better-implemented) games like them their appeal is very limited to pretty much anyone else: I did mention those soundtrack remixes and such, but giving them much higher billing simply due to the pack-ins didn't agree with me personally. Again, though, that's just coming from one schlump's perspective.And an honest (biased) complaint, i really don't like that you downplayed the value of the Oretachi releases.
D'oh...will submit to RB for correction.Correction regarding SegaAges Space Harrier it does not support Flightstick, at least not officially. You got it mixed up with Galaxy Force which does officially support the hori Flightstick2.
No way in heck I'm thinking anywhere near that far ahead, heh.Maybe you should do yourself a solid and start keeping track of the games for the 360, the way things are turning out that's going to be a big one in a couple of years.
These things are a good deal of work, yeah, but the help from you guys makes it easier.Man, it must've been one EXHAUSTING ride for you.
Shoulda caught that one too (pink bullets in a Strikers game?! Blasphemy!) - has been forwarded to RB for correction.lewisit wrote:just one minor correction: the picture for Strikers 1945 is neither from I or II, but from Plus (NeoGeo)

I unfortunately do not own a PCE and have very limited experience with the system and its games, so that task will have to fall onto another fan.Christoph wrote:If ever anyone is considering doing another - a PCE shmup overview would be amazing.
Glad you enjoyed, but the Dreamcast rundown on Racketboy isn't by me - I did, however, write an article about DC shmups on my blog a while back.Your PS, SS and DC writeups were a huge help when I was building up my collection for those consoles, and I still refer back to them when I need reminding what I've missed.
Yeah, I've wanted Rob to do one of his shmup countdowns for the PCE, but the task really is Herculean if you're going to be comprehensive. I believe it has the largest shmup library among consoles by a good margin. Perhaps it would be more manageable if one set aside the many arcade ports, most of which do not compare that favorably with the originals, and stuck to the exclusives.Christoph wrote: a PCE shmup overview would be amazing.
Actually, it's your blog entry I meant.BulletMagnet wrote:Glad you enjoyed, but the Dreamcast rundown on Racketboy isn't by me - I did, however, write an article about DC shmups on my blog a while back.
I remember you linking it once before, bookmarked it with the other two!That sounds like a good idea. Or at least split the task among two or more people, between exclusives and ports.professor ganson wrote:Perhaps it would be more manageable if one set aside the many arcade ports, most of which do not compare that favorably with the originals, and stuck to the exclusives.
