>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 16 15:38:01 2019 No.6075993 Commando on c64. Sure it is a bastard to control and needs a cheat to get past the first level but the soundtrack more than makes up for it.

I don't know if it fits your definition, but Gain Ground is the best one I've found. Very strategic game once you understand how to play strategically.

Also probably doesn't fit your definition of on foot since you're in a Jeep, but Jackal is pretty solid and fun too.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 16 17:00:50 2019 No.6076156 >>6076125 they're called marshal dillon-esque

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 16 17:03:08 2019 No.6076159 What's the preferred controller for modern shmups? I always thought people were using fight sticks for that shit. Dodonpachi or mushihimesama, people do those crazy strats on fight sticks, right? Not controllers. Bananamatic and the like.

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 16 17:14:58 2019 No.6076176 >>6076159 Most prefer arcade stick but you can get good on anything, there are good pad and keyboard players

>>	Anonymous Mon Dec 16 17:16:46 2019 No.6076181 >>6076159 depends on what you're comfortable with, mrmonkeyman got WR-tier scores with a pad and prometheus got WR-tier scores with a keyboard.

I made a thread about these kind of games some time ago, but didn't get too many replies for the kind of game I was looking for.
Pic related is Hi no tori, and you not only walk, but you can also jump, in all 8 directions. This gives the game a platform element on top of shooting.
The only other game that gave me a similar feel was Sin and Punishment, even though that's 3D, it still has both shooting and platforming elements while still being on-rails.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 17 19:15:48 2019 No.6078563 >>6078558 It's an MSX2 game, although there is also a Hi no tori game for Famicom, that's a side-scroller platformer.
