Deadeye 1,560 Homebrew Team · Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Came across this database today. Organized by Vertical, Horizontal, Mixed Modes and then by NES licensed, unlicensed, Famicom, and Disk System. Also has rom hacks and homebrews. May be old news to some, but it was a great find for me.

Tulpa 2,852 Member · Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 It's missing Mig 29 Soviet Fighter, but otherwise a pretty good list. I used it to snag some Famicom shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game is hell! I like its simplicity and brutal challenge. The enemy formations are fun and the gun is satisfying. Even though there is an automatic fire powerup, I remember I avoided it because you can actually fire quicker manually with your thumb instead of a fixed rate. Very useful when enemies or objects are pixels in front of your ship. Thanks for the list! I'd like to see these for other systems as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH 4,079 Member · Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 So, what does the asterisk mean by some of these titles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye 1,560 Homebrew Team · Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I was wondering that as well. I think it is pointing out to look at the lower section talking about *regional differences*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarzombie 741 Member · Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Im surprised they dont have a section where there's one level or element of the game that has shmup elements like Vice Project Doom and Dragon Fighters last level.

They do, the Shmup* Elements section. They just left off those two. *Lord I hate that word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctornick 419 Member · Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 That's what I used when my addiction to the Shoot em Up reached it's peak a few years ago. Newer stuff is cool but it just doesn't cut it for me when I'm feeling the need for classic SHMUPs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docile tapeworm 3,517 Member · Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 @acromite53 that star force competition crushed me. I got better and better at it but @Gloves and @BeaIank destroyed any hopes, dreams or thoughts that I might get good at that game. some of those enemy wave patterns I just couldn’t figure out. Contrary to your technique I would pick up the auto fire but still fire semi auto (tapping the a+b buttons rather than hold one down). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank 1,383 Events Team · Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 The Star Force week was just too much fun. I was having a blast. I think I should bring it back this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
