Never seen this game posted before, but very underrated. Sol Divide on ps1. Also, maybe try galshell on pc, not retro, but one of the sickest looking shmups I've ever seen and they are very fun.

Bump for more nice recommendations.

Sol Divide isn't that good, they took a lot of the ideas and built on them with Gunspike which is way better

A bit too easy though. And the camera panning all over the place gets kinda old.

I think midnight wanderers is the best in the trilogy.

I agree actually. It was pretty sweet in it's day if even for the novelty, but it's screen is shit, it's heavy and is only really "portable" if you blow tons of money on batteries. Hence you'll never see me post a more recent pic of it than that because even a PSP does a better job in every regard and after sitting mostly unused for a decade I sold it for a pretty penny to some clueless sap instead.

Gaiares is still a kick ass game though and that Castlevania level rocks so it's fun to post.
