I was thinking 1943 NES's upgrade system was also like a RPG leveling system, only less miniature.

Guardian Storm (afega) is another example of an arcade game with a shop between levels. Stock up on powerups and bombs, or save up for 1ups.

Ganablade on Steam. One of my favorites. Just got a major update as well with some alternate stage paths

Also of course Drainus

That’s quite a bump!

I don’t think Trouble Witches has been mentioned yet.

You can use an in game shop to buy lives and various types of bombs.

I guess that's because the store appears when you're already on the level just like in Forgotten Worlds.
