ShMUPS achievements system

[andwan0]

Hi guys

I love shoot'em ups and always surprised to discover more old ones I never played or seen before. Would be cool if there was a website community where members build their profile of achievements. Kinda like, recording/logging all shmups played... and yet to play, as well as boss fights.


For example, am always on look out for more shoot'em ups to play, from Contra-like, to Gradius-like to 1942-like.

I like saving-state just before each major boss. I just love boss-fights. I like to re-live / replay boss-fights. The most favourate is Contra 3 boss. It's just so long and different and immensely hard (hence replay factor).

Would be nice to have a place to upload screenshots, achievement stats logging, and save-state file storage/upload (for others to download and try).

It's not completely what you're looking for, but there is a high-score board site called Restart Syndrome (topic).

The thing I wish for most while playing a shump is for that Xbox 360 BLOOP noise to play and to get a huge box covering my entire ship. Not even joking.

Uh, you know that you can turn notifications off, right?

You need to keep them on though, so you can know when it's time to make a new account to clear your achievement record.
