x68k Shmup Databases?

[mjclark]

It's clear that the list of shmups for the x68k is vast, obscure and so prolific with doujins that it could never be fully catalogued but has anyone made an attempt to collect all the information in one place?
There's several very helpful threads in this forum, but everytime I think I've got a good list of x68k shmups I see another post with another ten I havn't heard of before. There's also this excellent article which explains that the x68k was specifically designed to be a platform for creative programming hence the ocean of doujins
It's also amazing to see how imaginative and innovative many of the games were- there's a few mouse controlled shmups ( one of which was a clear inspiration for a game that recently turned up in the Developement forum) and at least one with a tate mode (Bari Bari Attack 3). And one which appears to need stereoscopic glasses (Y2).
I was particularly boggled by Cuarto in which your oddly proportioned ship changes size (and possibly depth) at the press of a button (like you'r trippin eh?).
Anyway, so far I've got 83 on my list so any more for any more?

It's an absolute pain in the ass to catalogue X68k shmups. As you pointed out, so many are doujin efforts. Unfortunately, even the legit efforts (if not arcade ports) often look very amateurish.

This link should help.

Tell me what you have and I'll tell you what I have.

about stereoscopic that sounds right but very very obscure ! as some fmtowns games are stereoscopic too !

if i remember correct, in the back of the x68000unit, it seems there's a specific connector..

Kyukyoku Tiger / Twin Cobra
Twinbee (original one)
D-Return
Salamander
Gradius 2
Dragon Spirit

Also, it's been a while, but has anyone run across "Project Moon"? I have not even been able to find the rom, though it was supposed to be on a Trizeal superplay disk...or something like that.
