Re: Other Rail Shooters like Sin & Punishment/Panzer series?
Cabal (ARC/NES)
NAM-1975 (NEO)
Wild Guns (SNES)
Dynamite Duke (GEN)
The Punisher (NES)
These may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I consider them at least related to rail shooters like Panzer Dragoon and Sin & Punishment. In addition, Wild Guns and NAM-1975 are incredibly awesome.
EDIT: Also, Star X for the GBA. It rips off Star Fox pretty hard, but it is kind of cool having a 3D game on your GBA.

Rebel Raiders for the PS2 was rail like and a decent game.

I actually bought Iridion 3D a few weeks ago.
Thanks everyone. I'll add these to the list.

Although its not like Panzer or Sin & Punishment, Killer 7 has rail shooter type elements to it.

iS: Internal Section: Like a cross between Rez and Tempest. Import PSX title.
Omega Boost: From Polyphony Digital, the makers of Gran Turismo. Control a mech in space. Late PSX title so it is very good looking.

Soul Star -Sega CD
Galaxy Force II -Arcade, Genesis, Saturn, PS2 (JPN only)
I would not put NAM 1975 (Neo Geo) on this list at all.
I also guess I could recommend the FMV rail shooters to you, but when Sewer Shark is pretty much the best of the lot... maybe that's not such a good idea. There are also other rail shooters I could name for you, but I don't really recommend them. Star Blade I guess?

These are a bit different, but what about light gun games? They are rail shooters as well. Virtua Cop, Time Crisis, House of the Dead...fun stuff!
NES, SNES, PS1, N64, DC, PS2, GCN, Wii, PS3, 360, GB, GBC, GBA, GBA SP, PSP 3000, and 3DS XL

I really enjoyed StarBlade on the 3DO. I think that there's a Sega CD and PS1 port as well.
