Great 2d Shooters

[Mark]

I've been playing Ikaruga loads on my cube lately, and boy it rocks I've got the shoot em up bug again. Anyone got any favorite shooters that they can suggest?

Axelay (if that is the correct spelling) on snes emu. I loved it way back on the snes.

 

[Delsabre]

Ikaruga... I want that.

I'm too poor to buy new games ( at least not more than one a month ).
I like Galactic Attack and In The Hunt for Sega Saturn.

raptor was and always will be my favourite 2d shooter

psuedo 3d game, but actually 2-d, is Silpheed for the Sega CD, GREAT GREAT game. But my fav shooter playable on the GP32 is Super Earth Defense Force for the SNES

Silpheed is a really good game, and can be picked up quite cheaply.

Check out a few PCengine titles there are some real good 2D shooters out for that console.

Oh and my favourite...Project X for the Amiga.

 

[DemonStar55]

O yea DemonStar

 

[divadsci]

zero gunner 2 for the dreamcast is very good as well

 

[yuujin]

yeah, ZG2 is really something...

Contra Spirits / Super Probotector for SNES. 2 player is amazing on this.
