I beat it a couple months ago. It was really like a big deal to me. I don't know. Just felt great to hear the end music on that one. Such a perfect game all the way thru.

You know, three pages, and nearly everyone has had a different "defining shmup" for the SNES, with one exception, and one of the guys who mentioned it listed two shmups instead of one.

Personally, I'd say Axelay defines the SNES. It may not necessarily be the best shmup on the console, but its use of Mode 7 graphics pretty much means it could only be on the SNES.

Not sure it that counts... it's just a create your own shooter game based on the Vanishing Earth engine, as far as I know.

Bangai-o?

speaking of Bangai-O on N64, does anyone know if anyone's successfully injected the N64 ROM as a GameCube ISO like they've done with Mario Kart, M64, etc?

Not to my knowledge. It also does not work in wii64 currently

Shumps not my favorite type of game. I do enjoy these two because of their uniqueness.

PSX Raiden II
The land crawler bosses with the anime sounds.

Dreamcast Ikaruga
That Black and White switching.
