RnGs isn't exactly my genre, but what not-worthy title besides Turrican did the west produce? The PSX Contra titles were quite mediocre. On the other hand Contra 3's Game Boy port by Factor 5 was very good.

pic related is really good. Just a bit hard. And it's from an American developer, Visual Concepts. The guys who made Lester the Unlikely and ClayFighter. Other than that I can think of... ehhh Biomechanical Toy? Oh and there have been some new homebrew games on the Dreamcast very inspired by Turrican. And there is Nightmare Busters on the SNES.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 16 06:21:41 2015 No.2858252 Are there any Metal Slug ports that make the games run well? They run like shit which makes them hard to enjoy.

>>	Anonymous Wed Dec 16 06:56:47 2015 No.2858285 >>2858252 You can negate most of the slowdown in Fireburn Alpha by setting the CPU clock higher than normal. Other than that' the Wii version is probably closest to arcade.

Some other titles I found.
Abuse
Rendering Ranger: R2, SFC only but it's from Manfred Trenz.
CT Special Forces, originally on the GBA but got ported to the PS1. The port was actually handled by Trenz.
Jim Power in Mutant Land
Ruff'n'Tumble
Bad Company, interesting game. You got a perspective like in Space Harrier but without the autoscrolling. I know there is a Japanese arcade game like that.

The Chaos Engine
True Lies
Skeleton Crew
Smash TV
Total Carnage
Alien Breed
Apocalypse
Loaded
Firo and Klawd
Blitter Boy
Quite a lot of top down RnGs.

There are more but I tried to pick some more notworthy games. The Amiga actually has a lot.

Stopping by and posting for the first time on this thread. LOL Shinobi is NOT a run 'n gun, it's simply an action-platformer. Run 'n guns are fast-paced and known for constant action and movement. Shinobi is a slow methodical game that is based on trial and error.

>>2860337
Not at all. For one, Ninja Gaiden is a beat 'em up. And for two, Shinobi Arcade lacks thoughtful platforming in the vein of Mario or Castlevania. Really, you could call Contra a platformer by your loose definition because you have to jump over some pits and such. It's utter bollocks what you're spewing.

Shinobi = Run 'n gun
Super Shinobi 1&2 = platformers
