Nexzr PC Engine - hard as nails yet one of my favourites on the PCE
Seirei Senshi Spriggan PC Engine - Compile made shmup so guaranteed to be good
Mugen Senshi Valis PC Engine - remake of the original Valis. really good 2D sidescroller
Batsugun Saturn - Toaplan's swansong. best shmup ever
Battle Garegga Saturn - takes rank control to a whole new level. second best shmup ever
Cotton Boomerang Saturn - for my money the best in the Cotton series
DoDonPachi Saturn - Cave at their early best. also on PSX but 2nd player shares the same colour ship as 1 player, stupid!
Princess Crown Saturn - gorgeous action RPG from the makers of Odin Sphere and Muramasa
Twinkle Star Sprites Saturn - most fun 2 player shmup money can buy!
70's Robot Anime Geppy-X PSX - novel shmup with heaps of anime cutscenes between stages
Chippoke Ralph no Daibouken: The Adventure of little Ralph PSX - wonderful platformer in the vein of Castlevania. highly recommended
DonPachi PSX - first Cave shmup. getting old now but still great
Gradius Gaiden PSX - best Gradius title in the series imo
Kyuin PSX - charming shmup that is available on PSN iirc
Night Raid PSX - early shmup from Takumi, makers of Giga Wing series and Mars Matrix
Raiden DX PSX - basically a remixed Raiden II with Raiden Fighters Aces scoring system
Umihara Kawase Shun PSX - wonderful physics based platformer. released on Super Famicon, PSP and DS but I like this one the best
Zanac x Zanac PSX - contains both classic Zanac and updated remake of sorts in Zanac Neo. Compile so its awesome
Zero Gunner 2 Dreamcast - Helicopter shmup from Psikyo. good stuff
Under Defeat Dreamcast - another heli shmup but this is from G.Rev of Border Down fame
DoDonPachi Dai-Oujou PS2 - Awesome Cave shmup. chaining heaven
Espgaluda PS2 - Cave again. cool time manipulation mechanics, sequel to arcade only Esp ra.de.
Hokuto no Ken PS2 - great 2D fighter from Ark System Works set in the Fist of the North Star universe
Mushihimesama PS2 - another Cave favourite. PS2 port has weird filter but still perfectly playable
NiGHTS into Dreams... PS2 - Updated version of the Saturn classic. also comes with the original and Christmas NiGHTS!
Akai Katana Shin Xbox 360 - Hori shmup from Cave. actually not a port from the mid-90s for a change, SHOCK!
Bullet Soul: Tama Tamashii Xbox 360 - decent new shmup with a DoDonPachi sort of vibe. full of crap DLC though
Eschatos Xbox 360 - nice package that includes Judgement Silversword, Cardinal Sin and new game Eschatos. worth it for JSS & CS alone
Espgaluda II Black Label Xbox 360 - sequel to Espgaluda (Duh) with even more time manipulation shenanigans. a lot harder this time round
Muchi Muchi Pork & Pink Sweets Xbox 360 - great compilation of two of Cave's finest. Pork is awsome and Sweets is Hard as hell! thats why I stick with arrange mode
sorry for some of the big box shots. Everybody has probably heard of most of these but just thought I would put up a few of the ones that haven't been mentioned yet.
