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.

I’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 I’m set.

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

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

now that’s a game Rare needs to bring back to life.

no high score?

I just got Mushihimesama and must admit it’s a blast to play. It’s been awhile since I’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 didn’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? I’ve tried searching on google, but didn’t find jack and Gamefaqs didn’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. I’d send it back if it isn’t keeping your info, but make sure to eliminate everything else before going to that step. except for one bootleg game I got overseas, I’ve never had a problem with games screwing my save data. It’s almost always the memory card’s fault. As far as high scores, I’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 don’t like Gradius so…).

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, it’s no Ikaruga but I didn’t enjoy Ikaruga that much so…

My hands man… 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. It’s good.

AMEN MY BROTHER!!! :pray:

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

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

As for other schmups on the PSP…

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 lil’ more and it’s yours.ā€

But I was at work. Well, shit.

I’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 to…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 haven’t already.

I got Lightening Force (Thunder Force 4) recently and I just popped it in today. While I’ve always loved this game, it’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 you’ll be wondering what hit you. (literally) Heavy memorization and reflexes required.

Yeah after stage 5 it’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.

There’s a boss in the game, but i forget what level it’s in. Its a turtle(i think) and it just randomly slams onto the floor SO FRIGGIN fast you can’t avoid it.

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

Doesn’t help that having more weapons = longer boss fight in this game.
