iS: Internal Section- Playstation(import)
Omega Boost- Playstation


If IS fits, then N2O and Nanotek Warrior should as well. However I think these 3 tube shooters shouldn't be on the list as they're more or less vertical shmups with side looping play fields. Omega Boost has free roaming so I don't think it should be on there either. But here's some more for the list.

Gamera 2000 PS1 J
Cosmic Epsilon Fami
Tetrastar the Fighter Fami
