Post by 4ppleseed »

So, I was thinking about some SHMUPS that don't have a spaceship as the main character. The first two I could think of where:

Apidya on Amiga

And Agony, also on the Amiga:

I can think of a few off the top of my head... by space ship I'm assuming you just mean a "ship" in general?

Wings of Wor
Elemental Master
Undead Line
Insector X
Forgotten Worlds
Lords of Thunder
Hyper Duel (you can switch between being a mech and a ship)
Star Parodier
MUSHA
Spriggan

Many others.

Another that jumps to mind is Chō Aniki: Kyūkyoku Muteki Ginga Saikyō Otoko (Playstation, Saturn)

What is that popular one (for TG-16 maybe?) that had a dragon as the character?

Edit: Dragon Spirit! That was it!
