Shooters

[Krosigrim]

I always liked shooters. I guess life force was my first, but I didn't like it so much. My all time favorite, is Darius Gaiden. If you like shooters, but haven't played it... get it.

 

But I never got to play any Danmaku. "Bullet Curtain" I totally missed out on Ikaruga, but what about this? I found a reference to it in Agozers animated jpg files, and ran a quick search.

 

TouHou

 

 

 

Ikaruga had blue and red shots, and you had to switch between the 2 colors respectively. But wasn't there one with black and white shots? Anyway, I really would like to give these style games a shot. Now since I'm modding and XBOX, I'm gonna see how many shooters are actually out for MAME. "Cause I have no idea.

Ah TouHou. Fun stuff. There's a toudou version of everything on the internet. No exceptions. (Rule #9 I believe).
