My god Planet Joker looks pathetic!

Steam Hearts looks pretty good

Thanks

Im wondering where I should draw the line, do you think Afterburner and Space harrier fit the bill? What about metal slug...

I wouldn't consider them shmups, but they would be relevant to the interests of a shmup fan. Much like how a 2D Fighter fan would probably also be interested in Beat 'Em Ups.

If you are looking for a great Metal Slug-type game, check out Elevator Action Returns. I'm in love with that game.

He already has Assaults Suits Leynos 2 in the list, that's probably why he asked about Metal Slug. For Metal Slug, get the first Metal Slug game for the Sega Saturn and then get the Metal Slug Anthology (assuming you have a PS2). The first Metal Slug has controller lag on the Anthology.

Actually they ALL have a bit of controller lag on Anthology. You can adjust to it but it's annoying.

Oh shit, really? I never noticed. When I get a hold of the console version of one of the games, I'll compare it to the anthology.

Are these games retail or are they backups? If they're retail games, can you post a picture of Hyper Duel?

Also, would you be willing to divulge about how much Hyper Duel cost you? That's at the top of my Want list right now.
