Browser Shmups?
Does anybody know of any good shmups that can be played in a browser? I ask this because I want to be able to play one while I am away from my home computer, but I can't really find any that are actually worth playing.

There are none. Bring along a flash drive with MAME/doujins or whatever.

I thought of that, but I can't bring flash drives to work...Op Intensify wrote:There are none. Bring along a flash drive with MAME/doujins or whatever.

I stand corrected! There is at least one good browser shmup, Arcanacra Black Label.
It used to be on Trevhead's site, but you can probably search for it.

They're on the short side, but Area Flat 1, 2 and 3 are all kinda fun. Java though, not flash games.
Danmaku Legend 2's not that bad either, although it has too much delay between switching from laser to shot for my tastes (sometimes will take a whole second to switch back, might just be my machine though).

No idea whether its worthwhile (I just remembered that I ran across it one day) and tastes vary: Raiden X

I just tried that game and I must say, it's a rather fun little game. Managed to make it to stage 8's boss before finally biting it with a score of 2591150 points.HydrogLox wrote:No idea whether its worthwhile (I just remembered that I ran across it one day) and tastes vary: Raiden X

Storm Gear comes to mind. It's rather simple and very short, but I like it.

Re: Browser Shmups?
Bumping this in hope that some cool new browser shmups have surfaced. I find myself having too much free time being on the noc shift full time.
Also, is Arcanacra still playable? I've tried google, but have not found a working link yet.

Soundodger is a dodge-em-up, but adequate.
