Shmup with BIG SHIP!

Post by KoolKool993 »

like a formular,well we have seen always just small fighter ship,but can beat everything and save the world!

it may sound a little bit awkward,but i'm looking for shmup where you can play as big ship, or capital ship size....you can be tanker,bring mass destruction and fear anything on the road.....well......something like that!

Bio-ship Paladin, AKA Space Battleship Gomora comes to mind. Game is far from great but the ship is way bigger than average.

Not sure if what you're looking for though...

This is from stage 2 of Timecop on the SNES. It's awful, but worth posting.

Slap Fight MD, specifically the original MD mode. Both the arcade and MD modes let you build a ridiculous wingspan via the "Wing" powerup, but only the latter lets you detonate chunks of it in devastating explosions until only the tiny default ship remains. Fun and practical! Not objectively the biggest ship ever, but with Toaplan's characteristically relentless sniping it does bring the feel of steering a massive warbird. ;3

This is a fun thread! 8)
It's nice to see some plus sized ships. :D
Some of those ships don't fuel for days in an attempt to make weight.
Some of the best shmups don't actually end in a vowel.
No, this game is not Space Invaders.

There is also Senko no Ronde, which people sort of consider a shmup. When you power up, your small ship turns into a big stereotypical SHMUP boss ship for a little while.

Like so

Sigma Star Saga had random ships and some of those buggers were huge and slow. Pretty much killed the game for me.

Terra Cresta's ship becomes rather large after you collect all the parts.

That looks like some pretty ghetto game :lol:

The player sprite in that is ripped from Hacha Mecha Fighter, which also has a fairly large character (and the bomb makes him 2x size, sorta like Ryujin).

It is. A saw a video other day; Sengoku Ace sprites, Ryu from Street Fighter II, Castlevania stage...
A believe it is for the Sega Saturn. Maybe someone here with greater knowledge than me could know more about it.

The game itself looks pretty good, apart from the weirdness
