I would like to point out a particular favorite of mine.
Touhou 9: Phantasmagoria of Flower View
It's different from the rest of the Touhou games, in that it's a one-on-one competitive STG. I'll try to explain the basic rules of how it works.
- Killing an enemy will spawn a bullet on the opponet's screen
- Killing spirits (The colorful bird-like things) will send unique (character-specific) bullets to the opponent's screen.
- The small bullets can be destroyed with enemies' explosions. Doing this will make them re-appear on the opponent's screen (Bullets can be sent back and forth forever in this way)
- Players build up "Gauge" over time. Spending this will launch a special attack at the opponent, as well as clear out any nearby bullets.
- The number of bullets keeps increasing until one player loses all their health. The last player standing is the winner.

My favourite LAN experience.
12.3 Comes real close though.

12.3 Is great! But it isn't a shmup.
I love playing it, despite how much of a noob I am at it.
