My name is Nick im 26 and im from ireland.
I have been browsing this forum 4 a while now and i think its great. A great source for all kinds of shmup info
So i thought it was about time i introduced myself
Ive never used a forum before as im just 2 plain lazy 2 be bothered with em. However i think this forum is definitely something worth putting time into.
So I met a guy in college digs a couple of years ago and he had gradius v and strikers 1945 II I allways found shmups appealing but was put off by the extreme difficulty and i was really unaware of the concept of a 1cc or playing for score. Plus i was only really exposed to euro shmups hadnt played anything from japan before. So this guy changed all that when i saw him play, he was pretty good and it just totally opened my eyes to the awesomeness of shmups and ive been totally hooked ever since
Im a total perfectionist so i tend 2 drive myself loopy trying to play perfectly rather than just casualy enjoying a game.lol but that just cant be helped
My favourite shmup is dodonpachi! by a country mile
I am extremely committed to 1cc both loops. still a way to go yet tho :-/Other favourites would have to be......
Touhou (imperishable night is my fave)
Dai Ou Jou
Mushi
Mushi Futari
Gradius V
Ikaruga
Harmful Park
Blazing Star
R-type
Axelay
Strikers 1945 series
Not really into classic style shmups like raiden so much. Much prefer bullet hell
Love any shmups with a good soundtrack. The soundtrack is almost as important as the gameplay IMOSo thats just a little about me. looking forward to many shmup related discussions
As far as giving something back. I know pretty much all there is to know about emulators so mite be able to help abit there. Although i have a feeling that given the nature of shmups ye are all probably well up 2 scratch with ur emus anyways.
