I'm not going to make this a poll due to the fact that I'd probably leave some out. So what's your favorite shooter on the genny? I think I'd go with truxton. I know a lot of people like the thunder force series and I think those games are great. However, I generally prefer top-down shooters and despite it not having exceptional graphics or anything, I'd say truxton is a really fun game. It's pretty simplistic but it has a great arcade feel to it.
I haven't played a shooter on genesis yet, but they do sell thunder force 3 at the gamecrazy I guess i'll have to buy it.
Galaxy Force II is a decent into-the-screen shmup. Zero Wing is also a great game (the 'tractor beam' is very useful, if only to fling ships at other ships).
M.U.S.H.A....I prefer vertical shmups, and this one is just put together so perfectly.
Lightening Force.. what a shooter. Sagaia I also very much enjoy, but it's not the horizontal mayhem festival that Lightening Force is. As vertical shooters go, M.U.S.H.A. is grand, but my heart lies with the horizontal scroll. Good ol' Lightening Force.
..And for a little something different, Panorama Cotton's pretty neat, too.
Vertical= MUSHA
Horizontal= Thunder Force III
I'm gonna go with Silpheed for now.
Lightening Force.
Am I the only one who thought MUSHA was way too hard and confusing?
GleyLancer all the way
with Lightening Force and M.U.S.H.A. fighting it out for 2nd.
It can be confusing at times. There's so much going on sometimes that the bullets get lost in the scrolling background. The shot power ups are especially notorious for doing that.Quote:

SegaXtreme has the whole soundtrack for downloading. I believe the track for that stage (stage 3, right?) is track 11 on the soundtrack.
no its Track 07 :D
Fav schmups: (by that I mean H and/or V-scroll, not run n gun or commando shooters)
Thunderforce IV (Lightening Force) (Simply the finest shooter on the Genny)
MUSHA Aleste (A very close second. Powerful, loud, metal soundtrack)
Thunderforce III (colors and beautiful audio galore)
Lords of Thunder (soundtrack, gfx, and a good reason to validate having a SCD)
Practice there bro. Play defensively for times when you are surrounded. Keep shooting but emphasize priority on where the bullets are. I've finished MUSHA countless times, many of them on Hard mode. And don't forget, the endings get better the higher the skill level.Quote:
