Ulimate Shoot Em Up system.

ST Dragon - Feb 18, 2005

		ST Dragon		Feb 18, 2005
			It has been said, that the Ultimate Shoot Em Up systems are Saturn & PCE. Theyâre not. The System with most shmups is the AMIGA. It has more shmups than Genesis, SNES & PCE put together: AMIGA http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/xenocidefiles/... SNES http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/xenocidefiles/... Genesis http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/xenoci.../mega... PCE http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/xenoci...s/pce... PCE CD http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/xenoci...pceng... SEGA MEGA CD http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/xenoci...les/m... And one more interesting factor that has been over looked by many is the fact that the PSX has as many if not more Shmups than the Saturn: PSX http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/xenocidefiles/... Saturn http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/xenoci...les/s...

			Yes, but quality, not quanitity.

			Amiga has some quality shmups. I was just playing Apidya on my A3000 last night.. that is one sweet game. Disposable Hero, SWIV, Agony, and Project-X are pretty great too. Not to mention Deluxe Galaga -- the best version of Galaga I've ever played (the author is working on a PC update called Warblade -- you guys should check it out). I'm not sure about the quantity thing, though .. the Xenocide Files are nowhere near complete. However, I'd still take the Saturn, PCE, or Genesis over the Amiga shmupwise. What you said about the PSX is true, though -- some versions of the games are even superior, like the Cave titles. But IMO the Saturn is still a better shmuppin' machine thanks to its exclusives and controllers.
