Shmup thread.

Ooh, I've liked shmups ever since I was a kid.

I remember finishing Strikers 1945 III on a single peso. lol

I was only able to reach the 1st part of level 7 in 1 credit in level 4 difficulty setting.

I've recently been playing R-Type Final extensively again. I just found out that each ship series has a variation of its primary weapon depending on how fast your ship is, which direction it is moving, and where you shoot your wave cannon. The game is now more of a puzzle game mixed with a shmup since the proper positioning of your fighter, your Force unit, and proper timing when shooting the wave cannon will be essential to completing stages and bosses rather then one's skill in dodging bullets and spamming bosses with gunfire.
