...now where is the thread for which SHMUP will you never play again?
First response:
RECCA
I can certainly appreciate the intense action and the fact that a game was developed to move that amazingly fast w/no slow-down on an console released 25 years ago. With that said, I can't beat the first board. I can't last 90 seconds. I hate that game.
I have heard such good things about it. Sounds really tough, I have heard Pink Sweets compared as a modern remake of Recca

I have Last Hope DC acquired recently from...Dunpeal.
He just bought MMP/Pink Sweets XBOX from those proceeds.
On that note...I am now searching for Gals Panic

Re: What shmup are you playing now?
I was actually trying to compare recca and pink sweets. They are still totally different, but comparing last hope to pink sweets would be downright silly
Pink sweets is amazing =)
