Ha ha, no joke.

Great article though, some really nice information there for folks looking into the older shooters.

Support Racket Boy and click through the eBay and Amazon links in the article!

Don't buy Garegga on Ebay/Amazon though, unless you are rich enough to not care about a $60 overpay.

That aside, that list is full of fairly affordable shooters.

Agreed.

I like how RB treats shmups with respect and that there are tons of fans of them here.

I'm just glad I own a lot of them already

Haha, that's a great article tough the lack of Scramble makes me kind of a sad panda. Tough it was considered part of Gradius in the past so it doesn't surprise me

Love this article. BulletMagnet (of shmups.com forums) did his homework...WELL.

Nice article. Only ones I own are Space Invaders (Atari 2600), R-Type (SMS) and R-Type DX (GBC), and Gradius Collection (PSP). Maybe I'll track a few more of these down.
