Thinking of myself being quite experienced in knowing which shmups the PSX has to offer, I found some I didn`t knew in this interesting article ....

Wow, great website! :D

I myself would really like to know more about PD Ultraman Invaders and SD Gundam Over Galaxian.

Wow, I'm impressed, I had no idea there were so many PSX shooters.

From the look of the cover art, The Rail Loaders seems to be a train based shmup. What a weird concept. How could you dodge, or move even? There's a track.

Greg is a standup guy. He donated a lot of time and energy to Japanese Gaming, starting up the Megadrive and SuperFamicom sections.

Yeah, it's good reference. I thought it had been around since forever. Do note that everything after Zanac Neo except Macross DYRL are not shmups.

Well, the net is endless. Thought I had seen anything while owning a lot of classics and some odd shmups like Airgrave and X2. Anyone wants to sell Namco museum encore?
