Ex Hi, sorry for not getting around to you sooner. I'd like to opt out of the month if that's okay. Fair enough. Sarge EasyHard paulofthewest anayo Xeogred toei Chema @hutonchickenlegs Okay folks, we need a theme for May. My suggestion is "Home Console Shmups", we already had an "Arcade Shmups" month, but we didn't hit on shmups that were specifically designed for home consoles (and handhelds too if you want). I don't mean arcade ports either, I mean stuff that was specifically made for the home market. That's my suggestion, but I'm open to other ideas of course.

All good, lurkei , we'll figure it out! I'm not opposed to home console shmups, I just don't know exactly how many of those there are. Probably more than I'm remembering. Actually, probably a lot more than I'm remembering - NES alone has a bunch. Off the top of my head: - Silver Surfer - Gun-Nac - Recca - Silver Surfer - Abadox - The Guardian Legend (hybrid, but I'd still say it counts) - S.C.A.T. - Crisis Force - Burai Fighter - Zombie Nation There's a bunch of unique titles on Genesis and PC Engine for sure, and the SNES also has a few. Axelay, Gaiares, Elemental Master, Cotton, Soldier Blade... yeah, lots of possibilities.

All for it. Don't forget the PC Engine & PCE CD, which are overflowing with console-exclusive shmups.

I like that theme and am in favor of it.

Alright folks, then May will be shmups specifically developed for home consoles and handhelds. I'll put links in the main OP as usual to help with sourcing material to play.

Are you the guy who still hasn't played Twinkle Tale out of the most active posters here? I know Sarge has, I think Anayo too, Xeo I'm not sure... That's one to seriously consider.

toeiYou got it right. Twinkle Tale is going on the list!

I see that as more a run-and-gun, but I think we could make those cool for the list as well. Twinkle Tale is definitely really good.

I haven't played the game myself. But if the screen auto-scrolls, I'd consider it a shmup personally.

Trying to decided what to call this theme. I'm thinking "Home Market Shmups"? Unless somebody has a better title.
