Your favourite shmup
satoshi_matrix:
I'm also a huge fan of Gradius V. It's probably in my personal top 10 PS2 games.

I would really love to say Ikaruga is my favorite, but I've logged more play hours with Under Defeat on the Dreamcast. And for those interested, Under Defeat HD is finally getting a western release!

Galaga is my all time favorite shooter, but as far as scrolling shmups go, Thunder Force III for the Sega Genesis is my favorite.
Mick Dundee:
Im not really a fan of these, but for some reason I own a complete copy of Einhander.
I dont mind galaga, but its not something i avidly want to play.
games-go-round:
I gotta agree with earlier mentions of Space Megaforce - that game is superb!
My favorite shoot-em-up, by far, is U.N. Squadron on the SNES. It might not be the most "traditional" - you earn cash for shooting planes, then spend it to upgrade your own jet - but the game's a blast, and one of my favorite SNES games, period. If you've never tried it, give it a go! It's a great early SNES Capcom game, along with Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts.
