Desert Island Shmups

[Naut]

DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu Black Label Arrange
- Fun as fuck

Touhou Seirensen　～ Undefined Fantastic Object
- Touhoufag, etc.

DoDonPachi Daioujou (coin flip for Black Label or Death Label)
- Might give me an excuse to learn some chains or some shit


Non-shmup would probably be Soldier Front

[Bananamatic]

Dimahoo - got to 1cc it before I die

Hellsinker - Porn in an .exe file

Touhou UFO - the cd can be used as a plate or a frisbee, plus if you break it it should be sharp enough to use for self defense or hunting for food

non-shmup: God Hand. Never gets old

Are you implying you bought a physical copy of ufo

[ShmupSamurai]

Radiant Silvergun- BEST...SHMUP....EVER

Thunderforce II- Because it's the very first shmup I ever played and the one that got me started. It was also the very first game I ever bought. That and it's too hard to beat within a week.

Guwange- Cave's finest next to Ketsui IMO.

And the non-shmup: Well damn....I'm torn between the C64's SAMURAI WARRIOR: The battles of Usagi Yojimbo and Osman. Both are fantastic games that I could play over and over again for weeks on end.

also you can stick the shards in your eyes to relieve the pain if you actually happened to play the game

Desert Island Disks is still running, by the way. It's been on Radio 4 (a national UK BBC radio station) regularly since the forties. The BBC has all 2851 episodes available to listed to online here. I listen quite often. The Ricky Gervais one recently was brilliant. You can search all kinds of ways there too. Do listen to some - it's a great programme.

As for my Desert Island Shmups?

Progear - So much score potential beyond the 1CC. So much to learn. A little fan to keep me cool on the island.
DOJ - It would take me a life time to 1CC it!
Raiden IV - Chasing the Double Play 1CC would keep me entertained for years!

and if you ever get suicidal tendencies, you could start playing it for score if no sharks are around

@ Spadgy: thx for the info I bet Ricky Gervais' spot is well worth listening to

Yup, suicide bullets are great fun when your hitbox is so large.
