Best NES shmups (and other non-traditional reccomendations)?

Daigoro said:
GUNSMOKE

and

SECTION Z.

and Jackal. you're welcome.

..and yeah we have the same exact taste. all killer games.

i'll add:

Heavy Barrel

Choplifter (though the master system version is far better)
 
I will get Gunsmoke. Dragon Spirit so far has been really cool. Tough though! Level 2 has these web spinners I can't seem to avoid. Music is awesome though.

I LOVE all of these NES games.

Zanac blew me away.
 
This thread is awesome. It's so unusual to see someone playing these games for the first time and seeming to post genuine thoughts.


btw, Zanac is incredible. One of my favorite shoot em up games. It's a lot like the Aleste games, which is my favorite series of shoot em ups. If you have a SNES, check out Space Megaforce; if you have a Genesis, get musha.

apparently both games/series are made by Compile :lol

wow, they also made Puyo Puyo and Alien Crush. Why am I just finding this out now. These guys are awesome.

Secret best developer, indeed.
