Always loved the vibe that old PC, SNES, & Sega Genesis shoot em' ups give

[@willisjackson3080]

I would say the pc engine had the greatest selection of shmups ever. Beautiful games with those bright colors and fast action.

[@socalrcguy1]

PCE had Shmup galore😮, amazing gaming system

[@GaryRetroGamer]

*TURN ON SUBTITLES TO SEE THE GAME TITLES*

[@bok3rnes425]

Thanks for the tips Gary. I already have my subtitles on. Bro I can say that Pc-engine games are like Shooters Paradise ❤❤❤

[@snoozy04]

This console was a shoot em up monster!

[@joeyjo-joshabadu9636]

It was _the_ shoot em up monster!

[@timebandit1266]

Knight witch for the switch is an awesome run n gun shmup.

[@asmusicasmaisdaoraejogos7746]

I love shmups

[@inceptional]

Are almost all of these games in 256 horizontal resolution or is this just the way you've recorded them that makes the resolution look like that?

[@user-cm7kw9xr2y]

Amazing games ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@fiskburk2908]

Yeah thats the stuff

[@caiolopezcomz]

Why are Namco games called Namcot?

[@caiolopezcomz]

Nevermind, just googled it. Namcot was Namco publishing arm in japan

[@asmusicasmaisdaoraejogos7746]

Gary do brasil eu adoro shmups

[@alenogueira1590]

Procuro um na vertical, era de um morceguinho que atirava e enfrentava alguns boss no final da fase, o especial parecia um bebê branco, e era um jogo de PC, joguei por volta de 2001/2002
