First Shmup you 1cc'd

[Blue Buddah 78]

This thread may have already been done before and if so I apologize. I was just wondering what was the first shmup you ever 1cc'd? For me it was Mushihimesama Futari in arrange mode (not novice) on original difficulty, working on Maniac now.

[dunpeal2064]

My first 1cc was Thunder Force 3 on the genesis.

[Op Intensify]

Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth on the N64, when I was much younger. I think it was my second or third try.

Easiest bosses ever! All it takes is a couple bombs for them to go down, final boss included, and bombs are plentiful. I'd be interested in hearing the story behind that game's development. It's the N64's only "true" shmup besides Dezaemon 3D, and it's got so many weird flaws. It also looks and sounds a lot more like a Rayforce than a Star Soldier game.

Perfect Cherry Blossom on Normal mode, sometime around July 2008. Oh, and also when I was about six or seven a friend and I managed to beat Tyrian on co-op, if that counts :V

[trap15]

Touhou Lotus Land Story ( ._.)

[Giest118]

Perfect Cherry Blossom on Normal mode.

First arcade game 1cc was DoDonPachi's first loop.

[ChainsawGuitarSP]

Mystic Square Normal, sometime in 2009/10. I only remember this because I was also playing a lot of GGXX#R online at the time.

[JBueno MD]

Deathsmiles, but to be fair I didn´t went through it on a Level 1 run, I chose Level 3 four times and Level 2 twice. I can do a full Level 3 run now, but fuck the Forge.

[MathU]

I guess Galaga doesn't really count, so I suppose it was Super R-Type after that.

I wish more people still played Guilty Gear XX #Reload online...

[Deca]

Batrider normal course

[The Eidolon]

Probably Forgotten Worlds in the arcade. Or maybe UN Squadron.
Shmups without a life bar took me quite a while longer.

[Thunderprince]

Soldier Blade for the PCE. Absolutely love that game.

[Trevor spencer]

Espgaluda - its in my signature

[Klatrymadon]

Probably the NES version of Life Force, as a kid. Piece o' piss (in 50hz, too)! The first one I remember consciously working on was Super R-Type, but a few years later I would clear G-Darius, R-Type Delta and Raiden DX, and this is more or less where I started getting hooked on working towards 1CCs, and trying to score well, etc.

[Aisha]

I think it was the first episode of Major Stryker, a really long time ago.

[Illyrian]

Imperishable Night and Blue Wish Resurrection on easy.

My first "arcade difficulty" clear was Mushi Futari 1.5 original.

Fucking epicly scary run!

[wariomona]

Mushihime-sama Futari 1.5 Original in 2010.
I never took shmups seriously until I got my hands on that game!

[MX7]

At home: Batsugun Special :-/

In an arcade: Deathsmiles :-/

Touhou Lotus Land Story ( ._.)

Wow...

My first 1cc was UFO Normal with Reimu B... I was all hyped for about 2 hours after that.

[DEL]

In the arcade Scramble 1981
Arcade shooters I played before that - well, can you count looping all the stages of Phoenix and Gorf? In which case Phoenix in 1980.

[Meseki]

My first was Subterranean Animism on Easy with Reimu-B (the first time I used Reimu on that one), and then Alternative Sphere on Easy with Akari and Maiha.

[Jeneki]

I remember playing Megamania on 2600 to the point where I could loop it as many times I wanted.

Arcade-wise, probably Air Buster at a mall Circus Circus.

[KAI]

Darius Gaiden, i will never forget how happy i was when i did it.
My last one (Muchimuchi Pork) didn't feel that well.

[Moniker]

First arcade 1-ALL was Batsugun Special. First 1cc was Raiden Fighters Jet.

As for doujins, Imperishable Night on easy then normal. Long before the arcade stuff.

[1up]

Star Wing on SNES. But if that is consisered a rail shooter then it was strikers 1945 first loop.

[Uzumakijl]

Batrider normal course

High five!

I believe my second was Blue Wish Resurrection on my first try.

[Marc]

Super Cobra, Intellivision. Still have the boxed cart, would love another system to be able to play it again. After that, Delta on C64.

[TJB]

Strikers 1945+, 2008 in October at a local arcade.

As far as home is considered, uhh, I guess it was futari original, I have issues dedicating myself due to this obligation to play IIDX a lot in fear of getting worse, vicious cycle.
