As the title say, list the Shoot'em up you like, with the console.

Metal Slug series on Neo-geo

FPS' aren't really shoot em ups. Also, Time Splitters 2 sucks on so many levels.

As for mine, R-Type 2, Darius, Katakis, Turrican 2, Metal Slug 3 (personal favourite), Contra, Midnight Resistance, SWIV, Silkworm, U.N Squadron, Afterburner.

Damn, I could do this all day.

Time Splitters 2 rocked on so many levels. It wasnt the single player, it was the rock-solid multiplayer modes that they provided. I played it for at least 6 months without even getting bored one day of it.

I owned the game, multiplayer was ok for about five minutes before we all stopped playing it (8 people on an Xbox lan) when we realised that the aiming system is ****ing crap, the levels were boring, the weapons were inconsistent and the fact that there wasn't a jump button. I mean, no jump button, this was released in 2002 not 1993.

:yes: agree with you 100%. I miss the Shoot-em-up genre. There were some great games in it.

BTW you missed Xenon 2. How could you miss Xenon 2!!!! :confused:  ;)

Damn, you're right, I'm tired, I guess that's what it is. Xenon 2 was ****ing hard though, I couldn't get past the scond level halfway boss.

Super Nashwan power was what I aspired to have constantly, however, I was just not good enough, loved the music too.

Xenon 2 pissed me off cause I got to the final bad guy once and then died (after hammering him quite a bit too). What really annoyed me is that I bought the Bitmap Shades in the final shop (Seemed like a good idea cause they were really useful in Speedball 2) but all they did was make the screen darker. Had I bought something more damaging I'd have beaten the game! :mad:

And as you said the music is great. I have a copy of the Bomb The Bass Single version but I always felt something was missing :)

Anyway this thread inspired me to get a copy again and play it on my Amiga Emulator. Damn that game was great. Couldn't past level 2 though. Seriously out of practice :)

we're talking about scrolling shooters, not FPS's. In which case I vote for the old school Metroid games, although they're more like adventure games than shooter games.

I loved all the top-down aircraft shoot 'em up games. There's some kind of weird fun to be had in shooting ridiculous lasers that fill up the whole screen at a tank the size of a warship. :D
