The shooter games thread returns! The Empire Of Ammo says, EVERYBODY GETS SHOT!

So is Darius Gaiden beatable without cheat codes?:confused:

yeah, sad thing is I might get a xbox360 just for that game alone. tax returns rock.

Strikers 1945 Series - Flying Pancake in 1945 Plus or Hayate in 1945 II
DoDonPachi - C-S
Shienryu Explosion - BD-21VM

I need help on Episode 5 of Wolf3d.

Iā€™M BEING SERIOUS.

I just got this game for my GBA

Yeah, those are my Zen games too. I use C-S for DDP, if you are curious.

my list is nearly the same as yours. replace dodonpachi with E.S.P. Ra De and 19xx with R-Type series and Iā€™m set.

Wolfienstein? If so go find a faq or something. This is for side scrolling shooters only sucka.

(maybe weā€™ll let something like Serious Sam or Jet Force Gemni slip in since they are all about the shooting but not that)

now thatā€™s a game Rare needs to bring back to life.

no high score?

I just got Mushihimesama and must admit itā€™s a blast to play. Itā€™s been awhile since Iā€™ve had this much fun playing shooters. Anyways, I have a problem. The game will not save my high scores. When I was a kid playing NES, there were certain games that didnā€™t save scores, so I would write it down on paper. I thought in this day and age, it was a thing of the past.

I have varified that there is a save file on the memory card, and the options are saved, but what gives? Anyone have a work around this? Possibly a bug? Iā€™ve tried searching on google, but didnā€™t find jack and Gamefaqs didnā€™t help.

my first question is going to be the most obvious. Have you tried switching memory cards and/or systems? if so, it could be a bum disk. Iā€™d send it back if it isnā€™t keeping your info, but make sure to eliminate everything else before going to that step. except for one bootleg game I got overseas, Iā€™ve never had a problem with games screwing my save data. Itā€™s almost always the memory cardā€™s fault. As far as high scores, Iā€™ll start trying to grab some screenshots when I play and put them up in here. everyone else can jump in on the fun too. :tup:

-Starhammer-

A more appropriate name I could not find.

-Starhammer-

I want to buy Star Soldier for my PSP for like $25 and some change. Should I?

My PSP needs some shooting action on it outside of Metal Slug (and I donā€™t like Gradius soā€¦).

Stand out features for Star Soldier. Old School shmup music, rotating the psp 90 degrees to make it like an arcade screen, and a few little extras. As reviews have stated, itā€™s no Ikaruga but I didnā€™t enjoy Ikaruga that much soā€¦

My hands manā€¦ they be itchin.

I JUST NEED TO GET SHOT! Fuck is that such a bad thing?

Can I get an ahmen?

Raiden 3 is on PC. Itā€™s good.

AMEN MY BROTHER!!! :pray:

since I donā€™t have a psp myself, I googled the info and checked it out. Iā€™ve played a game or two from that series and Iā€™m not dissapointed. if youā€™ve got the cash to blow, Iā€™d say do it. a good old-fashioned shoot everything game, but I wouldnā€™t expect much on the wow factor.

I just won a brand new copy via ebay on Friday night and Iā€™m much looking forward to playing it.

As for other schmups on the PSPā€¦

Salamander Portable
Twinbee Portable
Parodius Portable
Sengoku Cannon

I almost won a used copy today. What made it so lame was the guy who won PM like ā€œYo, you want it? Just bid a lilā€™ more and itā€™s yours.ā€

But I was at work. Well, shit.

Iā€™m gonna import it from Renchi.com. You guys know anything about Renchi?

EDIT: Fuck it. I bit the bullet and bought the game.

Ninja Edit: No pun intended.

I managed toā€¦ahemā€¦ā€œacquireā€ Under Defeat a few days ago. Nifty little helicopter shooter to say the least.

Be sure to pick up Radio Allergy on the 27th for the Gamecube and Chaos Field if you havenā€™t already.

I got Lightening Force (Thunder Force 4) recently and I just popped it in today. While Iā€™ve always loved this game, itā€™s dirty as hell. Absolutely no warnings as to where or when anything is going to come from. Even a simple boss attack will come out so fast youā€™ll be wondering what hit you. (literally) Heavy memorization and reflexes required.

Yeah after stage 5 itā€™s just blatent ass whooping. Fuck having the new weapon. ā€œStop shooting?! To charge my super weapon?! Do you know what thread I report to?!ā€

And here we all thought that only bullet hell could be a challenge.

Thereā€™s a boss in the game, but i forget what level itā€™s in. Its a turtle(i think) and it just randomly slams onto the floor SO FRIGGIN fast you canā€™t avoid it.

Then thereā€™s the level where you fight some bugs that carry around this big fat thing that shoots lasers. Another annoying as fuck boss fight.

Doesnā€™t help that having more weapons = longer boss fight in this game.
