Gaming - SHMUPS Galore!! - View Post

BillyBong said:

Shoot 'em ups (shmups) are by far some of my favorite type of games, especially bullet hell types.  Got my fix back in the days from titles like Galaga, Lifeforce (Salamander), and the occasional R-Type.  Nowadays, I get my main fix from many Cave/Atlus shooters like, Guwange, DoDonPachi, Espgaluda, and others, like Cyvern, Einhander, and Vasara.  Of course, because many of these shmups never make it to consoles, for many, I do resort to emus (don't hate.. you seriously can't expect a brother to be purchasing some of these hard-to-find arcade cabinets).

Ah, R-Type was it. Now I know why X-Type sounded so familiar:

Anyways, a double stick shooter like Nano Assault is already a different beast, or is it?
