Raiden II, most likely. Baffles me that it's so beloved by Americans when most have probably never actually beat it.

Raiden II. Yeah, it does look sorta bland when you see just screenshots of it, but in motion there is an almost absurd amount of detail put into animation. Every single enemy in the game either explodes into tiny pieces of flying shrapnel or drops to the ground as a burning husk, creating a smouldering crater on impact. Or better yet, killing another enemy on the way down. Hell, your bombs will even cause collateral damage if you use them in rural areas!

The only other STGs I can think of that come close to this level of detail is Fire Shark and Gun Frontier.

>Gradius when firing up close with options also applies.

So.... Any game with a spread shot type? There's an absolute TON of those.
