The Eidolon Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 Hello all, I've been working on a list of all the arcade scrolling shooters I can find. For the moment I'm hosting it on my low-bandwith Yahoo account at: http://www.geocities.com/kienlung/Scroll.htm I would welcome any information on games I might have missed or information that needs updating, so please PM me or respond to this thread with any information or requests. Regards, --The Eidolon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK WOMBLE Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 I dont suppose you fancy recommending any of the list, as Im looking for vertical jamma boards at the moment, have thunder dragon 2 only...... Thanks, Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eidolon Posted March 6, 2004 Author Share Posted March 6, 2004 I don't know anything about hardware, but I can think of a few good ones with vertical orientation I've played. You might look into: Raiden II (available on PS1 in "Raiden Project") Strikers 1945 (Available PS1 Japan only) Aero Fighters/Sonic Wings Series (1,2,3) The Next Space Sky Soldiers 19XX Rayforce (AKA Layer Section in the home version) Batsugun Twin Cobra Varth Vapor Trail Raiden DX (Available PS1 Japan only) Raiden Fighters 1&2 Truxton/Tatsujin Tokio Viper Phase 1 All those I recall as quite a bit of fun with good replay value. I've listed some of the home versions where I know of one and given some of the names of the Japanese versions. Happy hunting! Some day when I have a bit more time I plan to add screen shots and reviews, but that will likely take quite a while. --The Eidolon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph3 Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 I don't consider Gyruss a side scrolling shooter. It falls with the Space Invaders and Galaga/Galaxian series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 UKW, Viper would be a good one for you, that is a fun game, makes money too! I will see if I can find that board for you (cheapo, if I can get it). Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK WOMBLE Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 sounds good !! off to klov to look up viper.... won a couple of auctions for boards today, nothing special, chopper1 and heavy barrel (Which looks cool ). just trying to build up a few to play until I get a chance to do some 'serious work' on the cab - yes Cassidy, that involves you mate !! (As if you didnt have enough on your plate already ! ) Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEMoz Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 Depends what you class as an arcade scrolling shooter. I presume from that list you're only including ones where you pilot a vehicle of some kind? I would class the likes of Commando and Gunsmoke as scrolling shooters myself.

bjk7382 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Mame does this. They have the different categories of shooters under the genre. They have Horizontal and Vertical. Then two more that are labeled "Shooter.m" and "Shooter.s" The shooter.s are like space invaders and galaxian. Not sure what the m stands for.
