Just ordered lords of thunder (segacd) and truxton as well.

Via emulation this week: musha-want to buy but its $$$, and eliminate down (same as the former times 10!) oh and twinkle tale also and trouble shooter

Its been a huge shmup week for me haha

Emulating sucks but these games are just to $$ buy

Mostly been playing Twinkle Tale this week, and i'm having a pretty hard time with it - things either seem to go pretty well and I get about 3-4 stages in, or disasterously wrong and I loose all my lives on the 1st or 2nd stage :p Also got in some Mushihime-sama again this week, out of all the Cave games i've played, I think it's the one i'm most likely to 1cc, but it's still going to take ages.

Good choices on the Sega CD titles. I love Robo Aleste. Do you have MUSHA? it's the first Aleste game on Genesis and it's damn good. Pricy though....even a loose cart is usually 30-50.

You wont be disapointed with Lords of Thunder....it's a great game. One gripe is that you can't turn the sound effects volume down...you're bullets are really loud and repetative.

Truxton is darn good too....very difficult after the first 2 levels. Don't expect anything fancy it's one of the first (if not thee first) genesis shmups released. It got cool enemies and interesting weapons, plus decent gameplay. I dig it.

Been playing this free online shmup called XED. Bullet hell shooter that's hard as hell.

Got a copy of Fire Shark coming for my Genesis. Woo-hoo!!

its a toss up any day between dozens of shooters, but i mostly play Ikaruga and shikigami no shiro, allthough i've been playing a ton of gradius V lately. I have a lot of friends that play fighters with me but only one who plays shmups, and when i have friends over they usually pick the game to be played; he usually picks raiden III.

Old topic revival: I just ordered R-Type Delta. I hope it's really good, and worth the price.

And not too hard!!

Thats the game I've been looking for for quite a while. Had the last three auctions sniped from me at the last minute and just gave up. It's great. One of the best r-types, definately worth the money....unless you paid more that 50 bucks.

R-Type Delta's awesome, if you've got a PS3 you can download it from the JP PSN Store for a couple of bucks.

Anyways, i've mostly been playing Mushihime-sama this week, finally managed to get to stage 4 on 1 credit

Also, i've been playing a lot of UndeadLine, but it's so difficult, it's really kicking my ass.

I've been playing Warning Forever nonstop. I can't get past the 13th stage, though.
