Shmup stinkers

[Treasurance]

So... what is Crimzon Clover if it isn't a Doujin?

A side project by Cave...disguised as a doujin to piss off doujin devs

Totally seconding Starcannon with you, btw. That game is the worst shmup I've ever played.

so proud to have all achievements in it

The shmups forum is a Golden Corral to him, and he will eat all he can until the staff makes him leave, or he dies in a pool of his own vomit and excrement.

Thanks for the "rolling eyes" smiley emoticon to demonstrate your sarcastic reply; that one always hurts.

requesting somebody hack Truxton II to replace the bomb graphics with a giant

[drauch]

If someone does it i'll 1CC it just for you. <3

Epic summertime thread revival

Anyways I would vote for Transbot on the Master System.

I remember having this when I was a kid and thinking it was toss back then. The game only has two levels which is barely filled with any kind of threatening enemy let alone bullets. Plus the game never seems to end, it just loops endlessly.

On the plus side there is one boss in the game and it always reminded me of the AT-ST from Return of the Jedi. That and the fact the game had a stunning plot

[RNGmaster]

Huh, that actually resembles the shmup minigames in Action 52, which were about as easy and pointless.

CHESSSSS! It didn't help that the colour scheme were made up of a black background and fluorescent green and pink. Hahaha.

Transbot has the best video game cover I've ever seen.

I've had it in my collection forever, but never played it.

The cover for "My Hero" is a good contender as well, though.

Hmm?

I thought it was the cover a Punk lp

Take it to the next level



I agree with the list bar Gaia Seed , it's not worth the price it demands now but it's far from bad .

[Despatche]

With this current list, you may as well put up Touhou (as a series); this isn't a joke. The Retro Force vid is down, and Super Mate Mate Laser really shouldn't be up there.

[RNGmaster]

Super Mate Mate Laser really shouldn't be up there.

Please elaborate. Looks like unplayable moe fanservice to me.

I like Axelay, and I have never read a review of it. That would be just plain stupid to only like a game because of positive reviews. If that were true, this whole forum would be "OMG Ikaruga"

This is supposed to be a list of shmups that generally suck, objectively. I believe it was originally compiled because the OP realized that most shmups tend to be fun, even if they are not top of their class.

So, this list, from what I've gathered, is supposed to be shmups that are pretty damn tough to enjoy on almost any level.

[PC Engine Fan X!]

Turbo Force is pretty shit as well.

You have to give Video System Co. credit for creating the only simultaneous 3-player arcade shmup PCB with that particular name title + not to mention you're given auto-fire capability from the get-go/start of the game. Sure, I've played Turbo Force/Hyper Force at a local arcade when it was regarded as a "New Game" with a sign placed on top of the cab to denote it as such back in 1993. Big difference playing it on real hardware as opposed to giving it a spin on Mame.

Don't mind me, just fanning the flames ..

, nice gif.

And if you like both CAVE and Raizing, does that make you:

[dunpeal2064]

That explains my love for Cave, that guy on the bottom left could be my twin

[mouser]

EDIT: Deleted image was here

lame joke anyway

[EinhanderZwei]

Needs moar Stuttering Craig and Handsome Tom
And what about Typical Irem Players?

[RNGmaster]

H.P. Lovecraft played Ikaruga and Raizing? That's a low blow.

Who's the dude above DaVinci? He looks really familiar...

That would be Amon Goeth, as played by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List. I'm not sure I want one of the most notorious Nazi death camp officers in my company when playing Bakraid....
