TwinBee Yahho! on Saturn.

Nice!!! I also played twinbee yahoo for the arcade ^_^. Gotta love that Parasol boss

Aero Blasters on TG-16. It's pretty damn sweet, too. No slowdown I've noticed so far; it moves at a great speed; responsive controls, and good music.

Damn, I think I'm gonna have to start looking into Turbo shmups.

EDIT: I'll start a Hi-Score thread for this if there's any takers.

Yea man Turbo has awesome shooters!
I've played almost all of them and honestly they all pretty awesome on their own merits.

Heres a list for starters:
Aero Blasters
Air Zonk
Blazing Lazers
Cyber Core
Dead Moon
Deep Blue
Magical Chase
Ordyne
Psychosis
Raiden
R-Type
Side Arms
Sinistron
Soldier Blade
Somer Assualt-Hybrid Platformer/Shmup!
Tale Spin
Probably a few Im missing but solid shootemup system for sure!

HAve you tried Raiden II and IV? and HAve you played thunder force IV and V?

Eh, not sure what the best thread is for this post... Anyway, I was in a small videogame shop in Nagoya yesterday. It was some kind of shmup heaven. I was mostly looking at the Saturn and Dreamcast selection, but I spotted:

Saturn: Radiant Silvergun, Batsugun, Battle Garegga, DoDonPachi, Thunder Force V, Hyper Duel, Shienryu, Guardian Force, Sol Divide.

Dreamcast: Under Defeat, Border Down, Ikaruga, Zero Gunner 2

Sadly there were no huge bargains to be had, prices for the rarer stuff ranged from about 6,000 yen (about $70) for Ikaruga (which is the only one that I already owned) up to about 12,000 or 13,000 yen (about $140-$150) for Radiant Silvergun and Border Down.

Yes, I have the Raiden Project for PS1, Raiden lll for PS2, and IV on 360. Also have Raiden Fighters Aces; love me some Raiden.

I have TF V on PS1, but have not played the previous installments.

Strikers 1945 on the PS1. Which apparently is 1945 II? I need to figure out this series, because I'm loving it so far.

Played a bunch of Castle of Shikigami III over my friend's last weekend. 2 player, as in a lot of shmups, is fun but impossible. His character's shot was too broad. So much so that I could not see myself if I was near him. Would be nice if they at least showed my character above his shot. Not underneath.

Otherwise, quite fun.

That is correct, the PS1 port is actually Strikers 1945 II. Reasoning is beyond me, but definitely find a way to play the first game too.

Hellfire rocks although hard at times for me, I think I will put in my copy tonight. It has been awhile since I last played it so I may have to practice again. I do love how you have to plan what weapons to use in the different parts of the stages.
