1) Why isnt this genre as thriving as ship shooters?
2) What are some classics or new ones I might have missed?

Tell me what you didn't miss first and I'll fill in the blanks.

I just banned this guy. It's like his second post in this forum and the second thread he starts, and he has this tone as if he's interrogating us. And he didn't even bother posting a second time in his first thread to thank all the people who tried to help him out by giving him suggestions. Not to mention he butchered the titles of half the games he listed and doesn't know how to use apostrophes or capitals. So fuck him.

The thread is good though. I started a similar thread on Shmups a while back for overhead run 'n and guns:

As for the Rolling Thunder --> Shinobi line of games, I don't think they belong here, though the exact distinction is difficult to make. Same goes for Makaimura...

Ban lifted after email exchange. First time I do this. Don't make me regret it.

I really liked Gunners Heaven for the PS1.

Released in 1995 for the PS1, it had lots of similarities with Gunstar Heroes for the Megadrive.

Does anybody know if Treasure had something to do with this game? I found this article on the net:

Another run'n gun game I was pretty adicted to was Elevator Action Returns.
