What Are Some Other Good Genesis SHMUPs?

[DigitalSpace]

Axelay.

That's a good shmup, but it was on the SNES.

Contra: Hard Corps ain't too fuckin' bad either.

[Fear The Turtle]

I really suck at shooters, are there any that aren't impossible for a near newbie?

MUSHA and the Thunderforce games aren't too hard once you get a feel for them.

[RadiantSvgun]

just as a warning, gaires is awesome but its also frustratingly hard (but it does have a super easy invincible code if you're a pussy)

although a little differnt i'd recomend target earth as well for good shooting action.


arrowflash is a nice shooter where you pilot a transforming ship (bias)
whirush as well is nothing specail but a fun shooter.

Gaiares isnt too hard once you get a feel for the weapons.

Theres a seller with a lot of sealed gaiares for genesis on ebay right now...just 39 US each.

no, im not that seller, just a friendly tip to shmup collectors!

Seconding Trouble Shooter greatly. It's sequel, too.

[segagamer]

SHMUPS?!?!?? Oh, you mean shoot-em-ups. Kids these days, with their ridiculous lingo...

I agree - can't stand the word SHMUPS. Just call them shooters!!!

[Damaramu]

Nope. Can't stand SHMUP either.
