Maybe it is..., i think maybe its been out awhile but didnt know about xblig. I cnat believe they took away trouble witches neo! , i missed out on that!

Another good one that came out was Snops zombie attack? Somethng like that, name definitely doesnt suggest a shmup but is great looking vertical scroller.

Any xblig suggestions that arent arena, twin stick, crap repetitive graphics / or no graphics, I dislike those lazy ass ones.

Try Valkyrius.

Broken Pearl is pretty fun once in a while too.

I consider these to be above average:

- Hypership Out of Control (there's also Hypership STILL Out of Control, but I found it more of the same; someone please correct me if I'm wrong)
- Crossfire
- Crossfire 2

And graphically JoyJoy is, well, a joy to see and play. It's arena though. :)

Steam and Metal is OK, but not as good as BP, Valkyrius, and Chronoblast.

Regardless of the graphics, I'd still recommend you try out score rush. It's a super solid game. It got a re-release on PS4 as well.

Found another called wisp lisp array of list, so far so good. I cannot find Any info on this "X Over " game. Just how everyone played the demo/first level. Anyone know if later stages look different (enemies/backgrounds) ? Scarce info in this one.

Wisp Lisp is more or less a joke/kusoge. It's not a serious game. Score Rush on the other hand is a seriously fun game that's a blast in 4 player co-op and by not playing it simply because of the graphics is doing it an injustice.

I'd love to see its PS4 sequel get a PC release.

XBLIG is still running? I thought MS was supposed to have killed it sometime last year.

Last September they stopped uploading games to the service, next September they'll stop selling them.

So then XBlig on the Xbox 360 platform will have truly come to an end of it's lifespan when September 2017 rolls along -- tis a shame.

Hopefully they'll lift that stupid requirement to be online in order to play XBLIG games.

You would think they would if someone paid for the game and they totally removed the service
