Armed Police Batrider is still one of the greatest games I've played.

Yes, I know Garegga is technically the better Yagawa game, but I love the style and all the tons of boss fights and secrets that Batrider has. Every time I play it I end up noticing something new.

Raystorm

I thought the music was hot shit bank in the day and it was fun to me. Music is meh to me now but I still play it once in a while on my PSP. I definitely need to get a bigger screen to play shooters like this one.

Superb choice, my friend.
G-Darius is easily the most underrated 5th gen shooter and I can't help but feel that its shoddy PSX port is to blame.

The Taito Legends 2 version irons out all the slowdown and provides an insane Raiden+DoDonPachi-esque shot pattern mix that more people should experience.

meant to post this last night, but was playing it :P Bought it at the beginning of summer and I'm close to a 1CC (on 5-stage), maybe my first! But something about the way it feels I just love. Like Garegga and DOJ have this feeling of purity of the genre to me, but Batrider seems to have fun with it and I love that about it.

Hellfire is also really good and a lot more deserving of attention than Meme Wing. The Genesis version specifically since it's far better than the arcade version.

Also, the US versions of Fire Shark is for chumps. Get the JP 1P version called 鮫!!鮫!!鮫! if you want to experience Toaplan at its most savage.
