/vr/ - Retro Games

Truxton and Bio Hazard Battle.

>>500521
I still the remember the first day i tried emulation. The only rom that i had was Bio hazard battle. strange game, but really mindless fun.

small bump to see if things pick up

>>500507
Blazing Star on Neo Geo. An excellent R-Type style shooter, with a large ship selection, interesting game mechanics, and some of the best animated sprites on the system.

-Parodius (series) - try Sexy Parodius for a good laugh
-Blazing Star (Neo-Geo)
-Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie (SNES)
-UN Squadron (SNES)
-Gradius (series)

>>500772
That looks neat, which Neo emulator would you recommend?

PC fag here, I'm not very familiar with the genre, but I really liked Raptor: Call of Shadows and Tyrian.

>>500818
I personally use Supercade...all Capcom and Neo Geo games are on it, and has potential online muliplayer.

Eliminate Down
Bio Hazard Battle
Zero Wing
Lord of Weapon
MUSHA Aleste
All for Megadrive, and all ones I've liked.

Einhander (PS1)
Darius (series)
Raystorm (series)
Thunder Force (series)
Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie (SNES)
R-Type (series)
Parodius (series)
Gun Nac (NES)
Pocky and Rocky (SNES)
Radiant Silvergun (Sega Saturn)
Ikaruga (Dreamcast)

Ketsui (PGM hardware is from 1997 so it's /vr/)

Or if you want something easier, Espgaluda.

>not mentioning the greatest shooter of all time

You plebs...

Dodonpachi Daioujou is the best shooter ever.

>>500818
Sorry, playing MH3U with the Mrs and missed your post.

As another anon stated, Supercade is good, I personally use ShmupMAME for the lessened input lag, but any MAME variant will work just fine.

>>500864
Gotta agree with this anon here, Ketsui is a belter. Very technical scoring system involving point blanking, as in, the closer you are to a destroyed target, the higher the point modifier is.

It's arguably my favourite shooter, along with Mushihimesama Futari Black Label, but the scoring system can be a bit of a love/hate thing if you're not used to bullet hell games or Cave shooters in general.

My first I ever played was D-Force, I can still hear that fucking goddamn loop. But it was still fun. I have been playing Axelay and Gradius lately. Good shit. Also, I guess The Rocketeer world be in this category, that game sucked balls, took me forever to find out how to beat the first races. Anyone ever played the Rocketeer?

Sol Feace.

i was gonna post those two exact games.

Sol-Feace for sega-cd was decent

I'll post some PC Engine ones because no one else probably will. Run them with Ootake.

Aero Blasters
Override
Super Star Soldier
Soldier Blade
Download
Blazing Lazers

For NES, my favorite is Zanac

For MD/Genesis, MUSHA

Personally I really like Eliminate Down for the Genesis, it is fairly fast paced while not being a bullet hell. I personally like horizontal over vertical though. Two of my childhood favorites for the Genesis would be Wings of Wor and as mentioned Bio-Hazard Battle. I like Shmup's that aren't standard space ships, and these ones have odd levels and enemies so it is worth playing through them for something different.

I also like Gradius, probably because it is the easiest one I have been playing in the series. Also you could play Truxton if you feel like being punished as well. It is fun, but god damn.

I heard of Recca a few times a few months ago, decided to play it just recent and it is damn fun. Salamander for the NES as well is fun.

Vertical: Flying Shark
Horizontal: Lords of Thunder!

>>500947
I don't think shmupmame removes lag from any neo geo games but I do that too just to keep them all in one place.

>>501303
Final Soldier is also really good. It has my favorite 2-minute mode.
>MUSHA
Yes.

>>501958
Na, you're right, I think with ShmupMAME it's more of a placebo effect when it comes to Neo Geo.

Yes captcha, it makes the: process eezess

Salamander 1&2

Volcabamba is the strongest shmup.

Hey guys, I'm trying to remember the name of a Genesis/Mega Drive horizontal shooter I used to play.

I don't remember much, but one thing was that the levels were divided in planets... you would start in a certain planet, then beat the final boss and advance to the next one. I remember never being able to get past Neptune.

Does this ring a bell to anyone?

>>502005
Sounds like Thunder Force III.

>>502003
Sorry anon, I had to. But honestly, that looks a pretty cool game.

>>502003
i enjoyed this game soo much getting all the golden balls.

dat MSX scrolling.
dat music.
dat inverted level.
dat golden orbs

truly an amazing game.

>>502012

Thanks a lot dude, it is Thunder Force 3. I'm watching the intro for the first time after like, 15 years...

Gradius Gaiden at the moment. I really have to stop rage quitting after one death, but losing all your upgrades is really demotivating.

After that R-Type Delta, I think.

Gayers

too much manly tryhard garbage

let's get some SUGOIIIII in this thread

>>503143
>Release date October 27, 2006

>>503179
yes because shmup threads on /v/ get more than 1 post before 404ing

fuck off faggot

>>503143
Great game, but CV1000 hardware is from 2004. DDP:DOJ and Ketsui are just as good and on-topic.

>>503183
As if I don't wish that weren't the case as much as anyone does.

>>501958
>Lords of thunder.

Fuck, i would not be tired of this. Everyone should play that fucking game!

>>503128
Man, this kid's mullet is absolutely hilarious.

>>501303
>MUSHA

Best shmup ever, hands down.

>>503251
Never tried that one.

is it equally harder that the original one? does it had slowdowns or flickering?

I heartily dislike horizontal shooters. It just feels wrong.

My favourite shooters are Raiden, MUSHA, and toohoos 3.

>>503251

Hope you weren't planning on sleeping....

>>503291
Not enough dicks.

>>503268
If I remember correctly, irem got it right with r-type 3, and it runs really well on the SNES, so it winds up being a lot better than the port of the original.

If you're talking about the original arcade game, there is none, it's SNES only.

>>503303
I played the first R-Type on the Turbografx16 via Virtual console on Wii and it still remain some flickering. The port is really well done though dispite the amount of flickering on screen.

Gotta try that one on SNES, i heard Super R-Type got fucked up from something. is it true?

>>503291
I hate this fucker, it's such a long battle, and you have to do start from scratch if you die.

>>503338
Yeah, there are no checkpoints anywhere, in the whole game. It really sucks.

As far as Raiden goes, go playstation. The PSX version is both Raiden 1 and 2, and plays perfectly. Both the SNES and Genesis versions, though fun, have some flaws. The SNES game is in the wrong resolution and is choppy, and the Genesis version has a stupid feature where you get set back to a checkpoint when you die.

>>503345
What? so if you die like just before the boss fight, you had to star right in the beggining? that just fuckings sucks man.

Better gotta try the third one. Do you play it on your SNES or you use an emulator?

Does the game features an option screen so i can re-map all the buttons? i'd like to play it with a gamecube controller.

>>503357
I'd play it on a SNES, but the cart is usually expensive, for some reason.

It's only a matter of time before crapcom ports progear to xbla.

>>503403
I thought Cave owned that game, didn't Capcom just ended up publishing it?

>>503418
That's right. It's a question of how much of a hand, if any, Capcom had in its development.

Gradius III for snes

>>503350
That's the only way to go for Raiden II, because the arcade version isn't even emulated yet.

>>503527
Only downside really is that I think the Genesis and SNES both sound better than the Arcade, and thus, the Playstation. That's not really a reason to play them instead though, given the weird design choices of "trad".

I grew up with Gradius III, and it's one of my favorite shmups. This was my favorite level.

>dat music
>all dem bubbles
>dat secret bonus stage with all the fucking powerups

>>503634
forgot pic

Sidearms was EASILY my fave shmup in the 80s

>>503634
forgot my pic

>>503634
Arcade version is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better. Doesn't have the horrendous slowdown the SNES version does.

No one mentions Steel Empire?

>>503782
Tried the arcade version, but it doesn't give me that same sense of nostalgia.

>>503782
I want to counter-argument that and say it's way worse because it is MERCILESSLY difficult. The second level boss is a god damned nightmare of bullshit in the arcade mode.

What are some good nonlinear shmups like Darius and Raiden Fighters Jet?

Is there no way to play the PC version of Raiden II with music? I don't have the original CD it came with.

>>503865
Not sure if Starfox or Panzer Zwei count.

>>503923
I'm not sure, but don't you happen to know any regular 2D ones?

>>503865
Radiant Silvergun
Xeno Fighters R

>>503128

>mfw i used to gall this shit "gayers" too when i was a kid

are you me?

>>503865
Night Striker S uses the Darius stage select system, it's a Super-Scaler style shooter ala Space Harrier but in a cyberpunk setting, there's a Saturn port.

Thunder Force 3 and 4 let you pick the order of the beginning stages IIRC

Twinkle Star Sprites

Weird/awesome "competitive" shooter. I don't recall the details of it, but it operated like most puzzle games. Watever you cleared off your side of the screen was sent over to your opponent on the other side.

>ctrl-f elemental master
>no match
