Comprehensive Arcade shmup list/database?

[heisenbergman]

Sorry, but I can't for the life of me find one that looks anywhere near complete.

Can anyone point me towards where I can find a comprehensive/complete list/database of arcade shmups?

[heisenbergman]

Well... the lack of responses to this thread is a bit unnerving

If there really is none, I'm half-tempted to collate the bits and pieces I see from various sources into a giant laundry list of arcade shmups.

[IseeThings]

the one you already posted a link to here seemed mostly complete.. missing one or two titles "Baryon - Future Assault" for example.. but mostly complete.

you can always search based on what is in MAME too

only shmups in mame are included here, 471 shmups.

edit: That list was built from a combination of the different mame "categories" (http://catlist.mameworld.info/), once combined a lot of shmups were still missing so I added the ones i found were missing over the years. I think i re-updated it with the newly emulated shmups when i released shmupmame 4. The list is using a somewhat strict definition of "shmup" so no multi-directional shooters and such.
