Scrolling shooters
I have been having a itch recently for scrolling shooters, any recommendations? as far as my memory goes i have only played RECCA for (s)nes? and aero fighters
on mame toaplan games. raizing games and cave games.
on pc touhou
Any recommendations for each company?
grind stormer is cool from toaplan
raizing has battle batkraid, armed police gunfighter, battle garega,
cave has pretty much everythign they made is quality. ketsui and dodonpachi daioujou i like
>toaplan
hishouzame, OutZone, V-Five (or V-V)
>raizing
they only made good games, but Mahou Daisakusen, Armed Police Batrider, Battle Garegga
>cave
Dodonpachi, Dodonpachi Dai-Ou-Jou, Ketsui
>touhou
complete dogshit, don't play
so i see u are just one of those nerds who doesnt actualy play touhou and thinks they are bad. u have no idea. they are classics and actualy great shmups. too bad ur blinded by ur hatred of anime
I played them and they suck
>touhou
>complete godshit
At least you could say that they're okay at best or something, cause they definitely aren't dogshit
They are though.
Play Gun Nac on NES OP, fun and easy shmup, no nonsense. Otherwise SEGA CD and TurboGrafx-CD are my go to for shmups. Keio Flying Squadron and Lords of Thunder are great.
i will take a look at all of these, the help is appreciated
im on crack so just know that i spelled these badly.
its actualy battle bakraid and armed police batrider. xd
Hm... You might like the Aleste games on MSX OP, they have a similar style
I think i will limit my search to old systems like SNES, arcade stuff seems too hard to emulate on my end while some of the suggestions are on the ballpark of 400mb-1GB (that will surely not run on this system)
i am looking for lightweight things mostly as i am playing on a potato computer, my gaming pc died and DOOM is good and all but i can only play one game for so long
look at the old touhou games like 6 7 8 9 10 11 and the older ones 1-5 emulated but its like nes almost
With 16 bit emulators you have on the Genesis Thunder Force III and Elemental Master. Both of those are great and the difficulty isn't over bearing. Otherwise I'd also recommend Wings of Wor/Gynoug, Biohazard Battle, Thunder Force IV, Eliminate Down, Gleylancer, Hellfire, and Phelios.
PC engine/turbo grafx typically got the best ports, genesis/mega drive had some good ones too. SNES ports were generally pretty bad. I think PC engine emulation is pretty good now, same goes for genesis. if i knew you i'd lend you my turbo grafx mini and mega drive mini 1& 2, maybe if you can find any of these somewhere for cheap it'd be a good option.
anyway, recs for someone trying to get into retro shmups are the 3 turbo grafx games blazing lazers, air zonk and lords of thunder. a genesis rec is gleylancer. BZ & AZ are pretty basic but you should be able you get your first 1cc on one of them with some effort. lords of thunder is just badass with a lot of variety, gleylancer also has a good deal of variety with it's take on gradius options.

all the comments have been fantastic so far, thank you for all the help
to add, mechs are also fine, forgot about those
Cotton 2 is 41.4MB
Cotton Boomerang is 38.5MB
make space
Guardian Force is also one of the really small Saturn games. For whatever reason those three are significantly smaller than most others
they're made for stv cartridges
Its out
which one is this? also excellent video recommendation anon, this is all hitting things i want
ranger x
Name is literally in the image. Android Assault: Revenge of Bari-Arm, one of my favorite shmups on SCD next to Keio and Lords of Thunder. If you like it also check out Hyper Duel on Saturn which has a similar concept, except you can transform into a mech at anytime in that one
I recomend the best one.
Play the Star soldier series.
why do PC engine games vary from few MB to 300+MB per game?
CD games are hundreds of megs
HuCards max at 1MB without a (second) mapper
It's the CD games and they technically should be separated from the Turbo Chip/HuCard games the way it is with SEGA CD since they required an add-on and a BIOS if you're emulating
>Cant get any of the MEGA cd games to work on any emulator
i am smooth brained
Man, Recca is so trash, no clue what people see in this game. Awful weapon system, horrible boss design, the scrolling is way too fast just for the sake of it, tons of slowdown and flicker, huge bright red flashes every time you hit a boss. Just a disaster of a game.
You got that right
the only appeal of the game is
>OMG THIS HAS TONS OF SPRITES AND IT GOES SUPER FAST
>ON THE HEKKIN ENN EE ESSS!!!!
and the NES is my favourite console. The game plays pretty fricking bad. Most of the levels are just sit in one spot and let the weapons do all the work for you and only time you need to move is to dodge weapons pick-up
only interesting mechanic is the charge but I hate how some bosses are designed primarly with that in mind
