So kino shmups means ones which put aesthetics over gameplay like R-Tripe? Sorry, but I prefer ludo put out by the likes of Cave, Psikyo and Raizing

like nu-shmups that have to belch sparkles and blinky lights all over the place

That's just extra touches, R-Tripe bases its entire glacial defensive gameplay pace around showing off its visuals and "atmosphere". Had it come out in the late 2000's it would have been a cinematic TPS.

What do you lads figure this thread's collective playtime in the mentioned games is? I'd say about 80 hrs

Power Strike II on the Game Gear is an Aleste game and I really like the music in that. Otherwise Blazing Star on the AES/MVS is my favourite.

[Anonymous No.6618267]

>>6618126
The former's far worse. It means you're a poser who pretend to love games he barely plays, the latter just means you learn shmups slowly

I'm playing Air Buster (Aero Blasters) and I must say the speedy sections on the second stage caught me by surprise.

[Anonymous No.6618525]

>>6617695
This made for PC shmup and its mission packs are great.
Originally designed for windows 95/98 if you can get it working i recommend it.

Hey I saw a commercial and noticed DARIUS in japanese is pronounced "da RAI"

Does anyone know what the name is supposed to mean?

[Anonymous No.6618573]

>>6617941
>>6617837

Kaneko has literally 2 games Cyvern and Aero blaster and they are better than anything NMK ever done and I wouldn't put them in the list.

Toaplan with everything they done you take Flying shark ? Not Outzone, Not dogyun batsudan or Tatsujin.

Even as a psikyo fan , having strikers (when 99 is mediocre) Over Dragon Blaze or Gunbird 2 prouve you are just a Fuckin garbage hipster shit.


>>6618489
Good choice there anon. Air Buster with some capcom games like Area 88 or Carrier Airwing are perfect to learn mouvement and hitbox recognition. Even if air Buster is a little bit trickier.

these damn psikyo collection cash grabs... punting over all these games -even the shitty Sengoku Cannon- with minimal effort, while not even bothering with Space Bomber, Pilot Kids, Zero Gunner, or Battle K-Road even. Slimy to market themselves as "ex-Psikyo employees" when they are so shitty at their job.

>>6618589
Yeah it's a shame really. Even When I would understand for Battle K road or fallen angel as they are fighting games Or the hot gimmick series as...well mahjong is not popular.

But Pilot kid and Space bomber that's just bullshit.

I was really expecting pilot kid to make it in the compilation cause I don't want to have it and zero gunner in original hardware, Sega Model 2 stacks are beyond redemption, I had 2 stacks and to this day they are on of the shittiest hardware I ever had in my hand in term of reliability (with CPS3 and GNET a little bit worst) , they are also heavy AF.

Pic related I finished my first Hardest run yesterday.

From the similiar genre: Over the Horizon. I liked it as a kid, mostly because of the music.
Also, somehow relatable (maybe): Assault Suit Valken, Metall Wariors.

i don't understand compile games. they're WAY too long. they're as bad as truxton 2 in that department.

[Anonymous No.6619943]

>>6619937
50mins is too long? what are you doing all day, running a fortune 500 company?

You're telling me there are posters here who aren't CEOs of a Fortune 500? That can't be right.

it just feels like there's so much dead air in them. the stages just don't end.

[Anonymous No.6619953]

>>6619950
the dead air is intentional, it gives you a break because what came before it and what comes after it is very hectic. The extra length makes it feel like you're going on a big journey, adds to the space odyssey atmosphere. Compare it to Psikyo games where the levels are over before you know it, which is a shame since some of the levels are really cool.

[Anonymous No.6619963]

>>6619949
Compile from day one define themselves as a home console developer as minus puyo they never done any shmup or game for arcade.
With that in mind their games can be longer than an arcade games it can have many gimmick or eye candy graphics, even the learning curve or scoring is not their main focus. not a bad thing IMO.
>>6619953
Psikyo are close to boss rush games and I love this about them.

[Anonymous No.6619969]

How do you git gud at Radiant Silvergun? I heard it was amazing, but I barely understood it and only played the first two bosses.

[Anonymous No.6620081]

>>6619969
play it regularly, even if just 20mins a day
study some replays
set small goals, like beating the next stage or mid boss
google ''the full extent of the jam'' shmup guide
