I hope to make this a staple and have the help of Sega-16's shmuppers in doing so.
Shmups aren't restricted to those on 16 bit or even Sega machines.
Pretty informal, but some timeline is needed to help out those contestants with less free time than others.
Thanks in advance to everyone who participates and otherwise contributes.
Inaugural Competition Shmup = Summer Carnival `92 Recca (Famicom).
Commencement Day: 11/18/11
Conclusion Day: 11/25/11
My first run...

3,910,844
Died in the boss that tosses gravity holes.
I hate it when I get an unwanted power-up. grrrrrrr
That's a very esoteric start. I'm up for whenever the challenge involves something closer to home. ;)
Suggestions for next challenge:
Genesis:
1. Fire Shark
2. Bio-Hazard Battle
3. Insector X
4. Forgotten Worlds
5. Viewpoint
6. Thunder Force II
7. Truxton
Sega CD:
1. Android Assault
2. Silpheed
3. Sol-Feace
Sega 32X:
1. Kolibri
Sega MD:
1. Darwin 4081
Dreamcast:
1. Giga Wing
PS2:
1. Mobile Light Force 2 (A.K.A. Shikigami No Shiro/Castle Shikigami 1)
2. Castle Shikigami 2
3. Gradius V
4. R-Type Final
5. Silpheed: The Lost Planet
6. Anything from SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1
NES:
1. Gradius
SMS:
1. R-Type
Wii:
1. Anything form the Ultimate Shooting Collection
2. Is there a shmup in Data East Arcade Classics? Then that.
Nice suggestions, but Kolibri can't be done. It has no scoring system.Quote:

Also Shadow Squadron, although that's an entirely 3D shump...Quote:

(1) = The Coop and I have briefly discussed parametres. Fire Shark and Truxton were two examples of his on problematic games due to their looping: a loop limit would have to be imposed, but the problem with these is how restricted their scoring system becomes w/o looping (Fire Shark's is virtually exponential based on bomb stock). Not to rule them out, just a head's up. Of course I'm game for Fire Shark whatever the rules.Quote:

Shikigami 2 is also on DC, along with Trizeal (Radirgy's out for PS2).
And what kind of scoring flexibility does R Type Final have? Any at all?
Good to have you.
Excellent news. We'll definitely cover the Sega classics at some point. Perhaps after the competition's attracted more regulars: it'd be sad if only six people showed up for Space Harrier.Quote:

I give up.
I was just pointing out the only shmups I owned. I could do Space Harrier, but it'd have to be II on the Genny.
P.S.> I just acquired U.N. Squadron on the Snes, btw. So there's anotherone for yas.
Emulation is your friend, QuickSciFi. MAME alone will open up untold numbers of shmups to you, including some that were ported to the DC and Saturn (Soukyugurentai, Mars Matrix, Giga Wing, etc.).
Thanks, but no thanks.
Genesis/Mega Drive next (for the site's sake).
Darwin, Lightening Force, Twin Cobra, BHB, Fire Shark, Gley Lancer, Sagaia, Empire of Steel, Burning Force....
Throw in your vote QuickSciFi. Remember if it's Darwin most of us will be emulating.
I understand. I'd go with Fire Shark then; in which case, we'd be killing two birds with one stone ;). Remember?
Vapor Trail repeat; giant monster tanks hate me. Killed the first one, then got killed dodging the second one's rapid fire. Got killed again working my way back there; hence the game over before the said 'boss' (Are they bosses? Christ, I hope they are!) battle:http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/92/0002b.pngIt's a pathetic score, I know.
Yeah, everyone just put your highest score of shmups here. On less its genesis game, you'll have to create a new thread for it.
Recca
4,376,558 21:56:40 ALL
Done last night.
I was playing with a fast clear in mind, but I just found out the scoring system has many more details than I thought.
Will try to bump it closer to the Coop's later, even though the deadline has already expired.
So uh, what's the next game for this competition, since Recca ended yesterday?
Damn, so I played Fire Shark for no reason?
Fire Shark is good. Let's all vote for Fire Shark
I say 'aye'
NAY, I'm doing verytex, I can fly by it pretty well, its just that dam final boss, arrg!!
Give us a push, you're the victor.Quote:

Fire Shark I am for except that I have beaten the first go-through not too long back; but if nobody perceives that as self favouritism FS will be fine. Likewise for Bio Hazard Battle though I just played it (might be too soft on Normal anyhow).
Since we've got a few more members poking about the thread than I'd expected perhaps it's not too soon for Afterburner or Space Harrier.
But again, victor's prerogative till we get fed up with your winning.
@tb16 = Where's your Rekka score, it was your suggestion?
Let's try something a little different...
Darwin 4081
Difficulty- Normal
Lives- 3
Rapid- On
No continues, and no old scores
From Saturday Nov. 26th, to Saturday Dec. 3rd.
I had it done, but I prefer posting my score as a pic, I'll upload it later today.Quote:

On Recca - it's over, I know, buut.... after getting 4,6M in 21 minutes, I played around with the bullet soaking and the bomb bonuses and got 5,052,332, however with 29 minutes.
Does anybody know if there's any limit to the timer?
On a general note, are all scores going to be in this same thread?
Is anyone organizing the results in tables or something?
It should be edited into the first post as they come.
Darwin 4081
641,200
Died in the last boss, in my last life. :(
You're too good. I'm not sure I can manage, but I'll try.
Thanks, but I'm just a padawan...
Wait till the Coop or SM come with their numbers!

The Coop - 671,740 - All (1LC)
from Kollision:
Yes to both.Quote:

nb: Recca's clock max appears to be 60:00:00; in which case the clock wouldn't be reset for the second half of the game.
Official Summer Carnival `92 Recca results
The Coop = 5,017,991 -- 22:00:62 -- All.
Kollision = 4,376,558 -- 21:56:40 -- All.
Thunderblaze16 = 4,160,215 -- (Time and completion unknown).
StarMist = 4,116,706 -- 25:27:08 -- All.
lv 7 300,000 is going to have to suffice for my final score as this game gives me too many visibility problems.
Come on QuickSciFi, show us how it's done.
Nor is it premature for a little discussion what's up next.
Verytex
Score: 0712968
I was gonna take a pic but the credits started rolling and the game didn't fucking give me a chance to see it afterwards.
Dude, why are you playing Verytex?
I thought we were supposed to stick to the game of the week....
Anyway...
Had a last shot at Darwin 4081 today:
866,960 (ALL)

Blah, I'll pass that game till next contest.
