It's Critter Time!

To avoid a double post, editing this one.

Grinded out the KAIKAN 1CC (Type A). Great game that shows the potential of the Shooting Game Builder engine.

Got a 1-CC on Project S-11 on my first try. Since it was blind, there are parts that are real rough ...

I dabble in tcgs here and there.

Before pandemic, I was a Pokemon TCG judge/Worlds attender. After that, the league obviously wasn't running and I just kind of drew away from the game. It was a big part of my life, and is the reason I'm umbreon in the first place, but I just don't feel the drive to ...

Congratulations!!!!

Got the C-Strong DFK 1-ALL now

Beat Final Fantasy 1 (Dawn of Souls version) last night.
It was nice to play through an entire game on my GBA again. It's been a while!

Yoo! Congrats!

Keep at it! Would love to see you get that clear :3

Managed to do another DFK 1-ALL; Recorded it while playing, this time. Guess I'll need to clean this up a lot before I take on the 2nd loops!

Just got the first 1CC of the month! Already off to a good start :3

Also just got a DoDonPachi Resurrection / DaiFukkatsu 1ALL but the replays on the Steam version desync, so I don't have a recording. :( I'll have to ...

Henlo!!

Howdy! Enjoy the vibes :3

Welcome!!

The first MMO I really got into was Megami Tensei Online: Imagine. It was a game made by CAVE (the shmup company, yes). It had the style of the PS2 SMT games, but you could talk to demons in the overworld and have your contracts follow you around. It was really neat

Starting up Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls on my GBASP. Haven't played this one before!

Death Crimson and Ancient Roman have some wild intros. Both always make me laugh; I love em.

Just want to post some resources that I've utilized and are Shmup related.
Some of these will be well known in the community, but if you're just starting out, then these might be of interest!

Guides:
Full Extent of the Jam - Anyone getting into the genre should definitely look over this.

ZeroRanger is an incredible game, design wise, music wise, and story wise. If you attempt it, just keep at it. The end result is worth it, in my opinion.

It's not particularly hard to play through to get to the end as long as you utilize the lives system well; If you want to do a 1CC, then that ...

Dai Makaimura is a tough one. Good luck!

Working on a Deathsmiles 1CC right now. I've gotten to the last boss, so it should be soon.

I'm doing a different route than this now, which replaces Level 1 stages with Level 3 stages; Can get to the same spot with the new route, but now I score higher ...

Shmups are all I've really been playing lately, haha. I'm aiming to get DDP and Gradius II done before September 30th

While trudging through the depths of my arcade ROMs, I stumbled upon Spinal Breakers. (Seems it is also an Arcade Archives release)

It's something of a side scrolling light gun (which is controlled by a joystick, and not a light gun) game? It's so interesting. The game itself is plagued by bad ...

The First Funky Fighter
House of the Dead
Sega Rally
Mushihimesama
Taiko no Tatsujin (One of them, unsure which release)

Metal Slug X

Awesome idea for a thread!

I know that some of the floors are insanely obtuse, good luck on figuring out the tower's secrets! I've read guides a few times, but I have forgotten a good chunk of the game, so I might do a bit of work here too.
