Favorite Shmup Company?

There's even a code you can input on the arcade PCB of V-V to get the "bomber mode" like in Grind Stormer.

Will have to go with Cave. Honorable mentions for Takumi, Warashi, Studio Siesta, Yotsubane, Milestone, RebRank, Siter Skain, frozenorb, Orange Juice.

Now don't get me wrong I'm a HUGE fan of Treasure, and have several treasure games either on my 360 or elsewhere but Treasure made 2 maybe 3 shmups if you count Bangai-O

I find Radiant Silvergun to be overrated. It's overly complicated and almost too difficult with unnecessarily long stages. It's not a terrible game but it's high price tag on the Saturn makes it appear to be a better game than it is. I have it on XBOX live and previously had played it emulated. I really can't justify it's high price tag.

Meenwhile Ikaruga IS great but 1 game does make a company not.
Although I guess if we counted Axelay maybe? But that was before they broke from Konami.

Atari baby!!! Look no further than this...

For a brief moment I was confused what a Kilrathi was doing there...

Temco didn't do Raiden Seibu Kaihatsu did the originals and 3 and 4 were done by Moss. Moss also did the HORRIBLE KOF Skystage.

Also, I played Truxton yesterday, the arcade version through mame. I found it to be...
well easy.

Your right, I buggered that up.

Truxton is easy, but it has a rocking soundtrack and is just fun, atleast until the asteroid stage.

Are you guys playing Truxton with auto-fire? I didn't find the game all that easy, at least not Compile-easy, but I was playing it with no auto-fire.

If it is too easy for you guys, maybe try the PC Engine port? I find it harder than the arcade version.

Don't forget to be trying Truxton II either!

Oh god, that game... I think I clocked the first stage in at 9 minutes, and that was with no deaths. Its fun, but you have to know what you are getting yourself into.
