I want to play something very unique within the traditional shooter genre, but it's difficult to explain in words how unique 'very unique' is to me, and I think that's where any confusion in the thread has stemmed from. I'm sure pretty much every traditional shooter has some kind of uniqueness to it...

Hello, I'm new and while I've already taken the opportunity to contribute in a few other threads I thought I should introduce myslef here as well I'm 17 from London, and I like video games as well as plants and animals, martial arts and papecraft, and my favorite band is The Police. My favorite genr...

Regarding the Gamecube, I would gladly pay $20 for just the Wavebird. They're out of production as well so if I were you I would snatch that up since I get the feeling they'll be worth a lot more in the future. But more NES related, if you're not into collecting I wouldn't advise it, since NES games...

I've been playing shmups for 25 years. They're my favourite genre, and I *hate* Ikaruga.

The video title was in Japanese and I've lost the URL, so I need help identifying it. I'll try to decribe it as best as I can from memory. It looked to be a 2D adventure game where you ...

I'm not an expert on arcade cabinets but I would probably go with Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Ikaruga and Metal Slug. Runner up would be a Taiko no Tatsujin machine.

Come back when you get Polybius

Honestly though I'd love to have an arcade cabinet for something like Metal Slug. The idea of just having a massive arcade cabinet sitting in your living room is just so amazing.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love shoot em ups (actually Ikaruga is one of my favorite games ever), but the shoot em up genre has always struck me as the genre with the least innovation. Every single game seems to be exactly the same as the other but with different sprites and bullet patterns. I want ...
