Some people really vibe with Truxton. I was watching a video yesterday ranking every Toaplan arcade shmup and the guy put it at #1.PerishedFraud ឵឵ wrote:It seems a bit outdated.

MegaDrive / Genesis:Funny these are all on Switch ("sorta" for TF3), or coming soon, except Truxton (afaik?)
- Biohazard Battle / Crying
Fire Shark / Same! Same! Same!
Gleylancer
Gynoug / Wings of War
MUSHA Aleste
Thunder Force 3
Thunder Force 4 (Lightening Force in the USA)
Truxton / Tatsujin
However it's worth noting that the the list isn't strictly in terms of gameplay, and more of an overall top 10. This would make Gynoug a perfectly viable candicate for the fantastic design direction alone.
If I were to plant a flag, I'd say these 5 games pretty much have to be in a Mega Drive top 10, I feel like they're in a unique class:
Musha Aleste
Thunder Force IV
Gaiares (seriously, how is it not making these lists?)
Thunder Force III
Eliminate Down (seriously, how is it not making these lists?)
Gley Lancer would be in the next tier right after. I really like Same!³ (SameCube?), and would personally have it on my list, but I like it in a meat & potatoes comfort food kind of way; I could see if someone wanted another title in its place.
