i wanted to ask if you know some good scrolling shooter games? i mean games where you fly a ship and there come tons of enemies from the right or top side into the screen? i really love those kind of games, and i'd really appreciate some suggestions  don't hesitate to post old games as well freeware would be amazing thanks in advance. btw i don't think that this is worth a forum post, so i just created it in my blog.  | ||

Edit: actually "Raiden" is it's other name i think. Cuz what GeneralStan posted is exactly like the Baryon i knew lol Edit2: i did some searching and it appears that Baryon and Raiden are two different games, but one is a copy of the other! Oh well... And best 2d shooter is metal slug (1/2/3/4/5/w/e), the animation is just awesome! But it's not spaceship shooter, just Contra-like. | ||

To the OP, what kind of shooters do you like? Ones that emphasize basics or rely heavily on some innovation in the gameplay (e.g. Ikaruga with polarity system)? A maximalist game that gives you lots of weapon choices or one that just gives you a basic shot to work with? A more modern-style "bullet hell" game that floods the screen with lots and lots of slow-moving bullets, or a more traditional game where there aren't many shots on the screen, but they move fast (and your hitbox is large)? While you're looking around, I'd recommend playing rRootage (freeware) just as a way of brushing up on dodging skills if you want practice. Exact bullet sizes and the size of your hitbox are extremely clear, and there isn't much in the way of attacking other than holding down the shoot button, so it's really just about dodging different bullet patterns. | ||
