The Sega Saturn’s Explosive Shmups Library Posted at Racketboy

Go read this list!

An excellent rundown of Saturn Shumps.

Included (of course) is the excellent Galactic Attack / Layer Selection / Rayforce / Gunlock (different names same game). I reviewed this excellent looking game and it's one of the easier to find shumps that generally doesn't cost that much. If you want to start building a shumps collection try starting with this Taito classic.

In other news after 4 months of waiting I have gotten my 4-1 memory card which will allow me to play Saturn games that require extra memory. Look forward to some new reviews soon.

Thank you dear Caleb for pointing that out! A most impresive list indeed... Although I am rather ashamed to say I don't own a single one of them...

Wow Father. You gotta buy the majority of those games, since they are all great. Sometimes I am a bit surprised at how much Shmups the Saturn really had. Yay.

I'm glad to say I have played quite a lot of games from that list! :D

Radiant Silvergun - pretty original
Batsugun - epic weapons
Battel Garegga - meh...
DoDonPachi - awesome!
Strikers 1945 - classic
Gunbird - great fun
Sengoku Blade - made of WIN and GOD

I think I've reviewed most of these games here on the yard when I was in my "shooter frenzy"
