Explosive Breaker. That game and Eight Forces are good picks.

[Iaspis]

Actually, I kinda like Dimahoo, even with its punishing gameplay. Kingdom Grandprix on the other hand... a "raceshmup"? Gotta to admit it was made from a very original idea though.

Cosmic Cop is better!

EDIT: Not even hating, just think Garegga is a strange phenomenon.

Ah, I got you all wrong then man.

It's a strange game tbh, a real thinking-mans shmup, lol.

No, it basically does suck, but that wasn't what I was saying!

Deathsmiles II X

So bad it's good. It's literally the only Cave game that I bother playing when I go to the arcade.

In one of the countless arcades that New Zealand has to offer?

Here's me walking through one of the countless arcades that New Zealand has to offer

Nobody got my joke I made with that post though. I'm disappointed.

Wait, what? There is an arcade in NZ? I thought you were considered an odd-ball, having electricity, internet access and all.

Hotdog Storm

Best comment: "It has nothing to do with Hotdogs, which is the best part!"

Seriously though, this game actually looks pretty fun! I'm trying to figure out what game they were trying to clone... looks really Toaplan inspired to me. Lets see, circa 1996... maybe Batsugun-esque?

Does anyone else think Hotdog Storm has totally rad music? >_> <_<...

EDIT: Kiwami Shooting - I laughed so hard. Argh! You're killing me here!

Aha, phew. I can't breathe. I gotta thank you, Sandlegs, I haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Hilariously enough, this actually manages to be funner than just about every official Touhou game I've played.

Thats because Touhou games aren't fun.... I had to

I will give it up to 12.3 for being a cool fighter, but damn the shmups just lack everything I love about a shmup

Ok, off the touhou topic, before I start foaming at the mouth

I was just going to write DS II. That silly walks boss is so bad it's great. You guys should check out Hacha Mecha Fighter as well. The RANK is great.

[renardqueenston]

First ones to possibly come to my mind were Hotdog Storm and Eight Forces.

i love hotdog storm. perfectly competent game pushed over the top via ridiculous title screen and name. i was totally bewildered when i first discovered it.

i think i'll toss R-Shark by Dooyong into the mix: http://www.gamesdbase.com/gamedetail-ar ... oyong.aspx

this game is legitimately effing hilarious, from the enemy text (i want to say the top-right guy you can select says "I'M CRAZY COME AT ME BOY" or something equally ludicrous) down to the completely ridiculous bombs, in which a giant missile... thing attaches to your ship, which SHOOTS MORE MISSILES! the laser weapon gets special mention for having weird fucking graphics.

You can see Chitta the mage do a cool song and dance number if you beat the kinda crappy Mahou Daisakusen racing game, haven't cleared it with the other characters so don't know if Gain does some cool b-boy moves or anything...

Is it hot?

[ratikal]

I don't really like Battle Garrega either. But superplays of that game are so much fun to watch.

[renardqueenston]

wow. i just played this, and wow. the sudden spikes in difficulty are hilarious. really cute graphics at least! the "BIG" bomb had me pretty taken aback.

I remember some game just like that where you caught sperm in condoms. I think it was condoms, I was too young at the time when I saw my brother play it and thought it was nets.
