Shmup Ticker: What are you playing RIGHT NOW?

[ave]

Battle Garegga with Gain. I got about 7,5m when I'm at Mad Ball Mk2, but I play too lousy to even reach stg6 these days. Death after death. At least the stg4 boss milking works by now.

[null1024]

R-Type. Died 4 times on the 3rd level, all at the same place [and the same run]. By the last time, I realized what was killing me... but I still kept running into it...

[Lunchbox]

Deathsmiles IIX (Arcade mode) for score, with Lei. Triying to get used to her lack of "focused".
Outrageously funny!!!

[blotto]

Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta. Just got this from Xbox Games on Demand (which was a hell of a lot of hassle), and it seems pretty cool. Still trying to figure things out. Is there a strategy guide for this anywhere?

[J-Manic]

I will be playing DDP (Saturn) all damn day today. Been itching for some manic shmupping lately.

[Riot Zone]

Sky Smasher pcb (simply shooter heaven) and some Dragon spirt Namco collection ps2.

[iluvmonsterz]

[adpag]

Pink Sweets

[Aquas]

Still Raiden IV, still working on clearing the 360 mode. To become one of the only Westerners to accomplish this... I must do it! Some Dragon Spirit, Dangerous Seed, Slap Fight and Deathsmiles on the side.

[JUTMAN22]

I am playing Ketsui (360), Under Defeat (DC) and Tiger Heli (PCE)

[Krondelo]

Been getting into Battle Bakraid again hardcore for some reason. Getting really close to my 1CC so I guess thats my motivation.

[saucykobold]

I'm concentrating on Xexex at the moment. Very classy and underappreciated game.

[EricDaNerd]

Super R-TYPE...GRRRRRR!

[mesh control]

DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou
Giga Wing 2
Bio Metal

I'm terrible at all of them.
I'm terrible at games in general.

Xexex is one of the finest games that it has been my pleasure to play.


Also, G-Darius here. I suck at it right now, namely because I'm tired... ;_;

[Sobek]

Super R-TYPE...GRRRRRR!

Right on! I've been working on R-Type III. I prefer the SNES R-Types for some reason.

Could somebody explain Xexex to me? Because I think it ... is not good at all. And I feel like I'm missing something.

The US version omits all the fun weapons and uses a poorly-implemented health bar, but if you're playing the Japanese one you might be DEAD INSIDE.

I'm currently getting back into R-Type Delta, and kinda sorta staying in practice with Image Fight, even though I don't really know if I can be arsed tackling much more of the second loop.

[Deca]

Been working on ESP.ra.de. Never really could get into it before, and I still don't really like it. I'm disliking it LESS than I used to but it just isn't clicking for me, though I'll probably keep playing until I get the 1cc (or my copy of futari arrives)
