I've become somewhat addicted to Galaga, both at bars that my band plays and on Namco Museum on my PS1 emulator. Any other Shmups you can reccomend? I tried Raiden but honestly that game is bullshit. Your ship moves too slow and is pretty much entirely reliant on power-ups.

Cho Ren Sha 68K I suppose.
There are a good amount of power ups but the game is totally doable without them.

xevious I guess, I would say parodius or fantasy zone but you don't like 16 bit... 1942 and 1943 maybe? sonson might work but I'm not sure that's a shmup.

OP here. I was pretty drunk when I wrote that. What I meant is the vibe of Galaga 88 didn't sit right for me. MUSHA looks kind of dope though.

Have you played Space Harrier? I strongly recommend giving it a try if not. It's similarly simple but sublimely wonderful action.

The Namco Museum emulation is pretty spot on plus it has a nice little museum to walk through.

Op here. I am trying to get into dondonpachi. It's really cool but sometimes I've noticed bullets will go right through me and sometimes they'll destroy my ship and I can't figure out why. The hit detection is just wierd.

i mean, you're right, it's more reliant on powerups, but come on, it's still good.

just play ikaruga, more your style, nopowerups

Try this: http://store.steampowered.com/app/278510/ It's not very well known, but it's cheap and great. Does WonderSwan qualify as retro?

Like I said earlier I was really drunk when I wrote that. The game isn't "bullshit" but I do feel like it's too reliant on powerups, it seems to be more about having the right powerups than dodging shit.

Gyruss on NES is an almost Tempest style space shooter. Really fun, especially if you have an NES Advantage.

I've taken a liking to the Strikers 1945 and the Psikyo games that use the same engine.

Is there going to be a SHMUP general again? I'd start one myself but I don't have the OP template, I can't find an archive and the last one 404'd

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks Raiden's biggest claw is the horrendous move speed. I heard 2P blue ship is slightly faster, but probably not fast enough.

Hitbox was made smaller to increase the satisfaction of dodging more bullets, which themselves also have smaller hitboxes. Try Esp Ra.De. or Guwange if you like Dodonpachi.
