Ikaruga without a doubt. ruined a GC controller playing it.

 

[Hesemonni]

Einhänder.

 

[Judderman]

Wow, game looks great.

Jamestown is my favorite shmup!

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Strikers 1945

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Gradius!!!!

360!

you and your game are awesome!

 

[GraveRobberX]

PC Please

Does Super Stardust Count + Delta?, if not R-Type for sure

 

[metsallica]

rRootage (or just about anything by Kenta Cho!). Thanks, OP! Excited to give it a shot.

 

[Jellzy]

Gynoug (Wings of Wor), Mega Drive/Genesis.

Somehow or another my dad had the import, so was probably the my first shmup growing up... On a console anyway.

 

[Sweeper17]

Striker45 Xbox360 please

 

[Zomba13]

Probably Ikaruga.

 

[sn00zer]

Jamestown no contest

 

[T-Matt]

Galaga.

 

[Vastag]

Rejected from steam, but you can get it on gamersgate if you want the PC version.

Rejected? what was the reason?

Edit: R-Type by the way

 

[Tambini]

Jamestown

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Life Force! (The only one I beat

Spoiler

with Konami code

)

 

[serotonina]

Viewpoint on the NeoGeo made me lose my temper too many times.
Still love it.

 

[MNC]

Ikaruga.

And a little bit of Phoenix on the calculator on the side :3

 

[O.DOGG]

Aero Fighters 2

 

[Teknopathetic]

Brave Blade.

 

[Drkirby]

Well, my favorite shmup is Metal Slug X, but assuming you want something that isn't in the Run'n'Gun sub genre which is arguably not a shmup, I would have to say Aero Fighter 2.

 

[Snarfington]

Ikaruga is my favourite, no doubt. Doubt that'll change any time soon, but let's see if this can top it.

 

[Shalashaska161]

Ikaruga is my fav! Though I'm not going to lie, I love Espaluga 2 on my iPhone.

 

[Jasconius]

Twinkle Star Sprites!

 

[Polk]

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Spoiler

R-type Delta

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

Jamestown

 

[republic]

I'd probably have to go with DoDonPachi. It doesn't make me any less bad at it, but there's something addictive about it.

 

[alr1ght]

Jamestown

 

[Jasoneyu]

Ikaruga

Great mentions to einhander and omega boost

 

[Feep]

Already got my XBLIG version, so no need here...

Obviously GAF game giveaways are a great idea

 

[MightyKAC]

Radiant Silvergun

Fuck the haters!!

 

[epmode]

Probably Mushihimesama Futari!

 

[Enk]

Gaiares!

 

[Shai-Tan]

raiden 2

 

[Stop It]

An oldie, but still, R-Type.

The first of a few shmups I have played, but still holds up out of the most fun I've had gaming.

 

[Absoludacrous]

Mars Matrix

 

[DRock]

Jamestown or maybe einhander, damn I can't choose!

 

[Datwheezy]

Ikaruga hands down. I can play that game all day

Edit: I enjoyed Jamestown quite a bit as well.

Edit #2: I just remembered that I own it on XBLIG , so please give someone else my code

 

[carpediemdp]

Another Ikaruga fan here!

 

[TheDancingWatermelon]

I have to go with Jamestown!

 

[kurahadol]

Radiant Silvergun

 

[DenisQc]

Magical Drop 3

Spent tons of hours playing it with friends at university

Correction : Twinkle Star Sprites
not Magical Drop 3

 

[desu]

Rejected? what was the reason?

Edit: R-Type by the way

Steam has their own (weird) approval process. It comes down to them liking your game (unless you're a big ass developer) from what I heard.

 

[Silverbolt]

Love Ikaruga as well!

 

[28 Posts Later]

Yet another Ikaruga fan.

 

[Raide]

Gunstar Heroes.

 

[ThatGuy]

Ikaruga it is

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Jamestown!!

 

[PaulLFC]

Ikaruga!

 

[Javaman]

Jamestown. Thanks man!
