This is a shmup too.

It was on an arcade at a mcdonalds, I forgot the name.

All I can remember about the details were that they involved airplanes, and I think two of the characters you can play as included a dolphin and a child.

Galaga, and it freaked me out back then when those sucker monsters in the back row capture my ships.

Defender

>>5623398

That's Aero Fighters I think.

For me, Gradius III.

Space Invaders

A space-shooter on the NES
can't remember the name

Defender on C-64

R type, I think.

>>5623393
Oh yeah, that.

And also the DOS-based sopwith game. The only thing I can remember about it is making my plane aim towards the ceiling and crash.

Galaga

Raptor: Call of the Shadows

Asteroids

demon star

Pretty sure that this was the one that introduced me to the whole genre.

I don't even remember the name...
it was so obscure, like a doujin game

>>5623473

Fucking this

Pic related in my case

Wolfenstein 3D.

>>5623540

Astro Warrior for the master system.

>>5623540
I actually find this game even still today awesome

especially the Arcade version got some badass 2 player action too uncommon for the time.

U.N. Squadron. Those were good times.

It was a game about japanes psychic girls and boys flying around and shooting mind bullets against the army trying to keep hem down.
On MAME.

>>5623593
Your first shooter was ESPRADE?

Probably Star Force on NES.

There was a game for the Atari 5200. So many years ago I can't remember it's name. What we'd call a shmup today, everything came scrolling down and you'd shoot it rather than Asteroids, Galaga, Ms Packman, or whatever else people are pretending are shmups in this thread.

>>5623603
Next time he'll be saying that his first VN was Fate/Stay Night.

>>5623630
Centipede / Millipede?

>>5623632
No, you were some super future plane thing and you flew over the landscape while ufos and stuff came down the screen to shoot you. I could look up 5200 games I guess, maybe I'll find it.

aero fighters

tyrian OP?

that brings back memories

I wish Tempest style shooters were more common. I can only think of N2O and Torus Trooper.

Raiden. It was the first game I ever played. There was a machine at a pub near my place, my parents used to go for dinner and I'd play that.

>>5623775
I still like the Raiden games not sure why all the haters here..

muhfuggen 1942 bitches.

God damn, I simultaneously loved and hated that game. My clumsy child-hands could not play NES worth two shits, so I died on the first level every time. I had a near autistic obsession with planes, though, so it was all good.

River Raid

>>5623910
B-Wings

Choose your favorite wing
Fly off
Push discard wing button instead of fire button
Get fucked at the start

tyrian so good

fuck all that danmaku shit, i just want overpowered upgrades!

>>5623910
I thought all us shmup fags love aircraft

>>5623910
I thought all us shmup fags love aircraft

>>5623938
We do, my good sir.

>>5623603
I think so.
The first I can remember.

Is it bad?

>>5623938

I'm taking about specifically WWII-era planes, and knowing all their designations and stuff.

I also played the living shit out of Aces of the Pacific on the PC, if anyone remembers that. That wasn't a shmup though, it was a flight sim.

>>5623926
Front gun: Vulcan
Rear gun: Vulcan
R.Sidekick: Vulcan
L.Sidekick: VULCAN

FINAL DESTINATION.

>>5623999
Who the fuck does not like him some fine

P51s,Bf 109s,MiG 3s and Spitfires?

I've only played touhou.

1942 for C64. I never finished it.

>>5624018

even normalfags like that shit. I think it's impossible to be a kid and not go "whooaaaaaaaa!" when you see a WWII fighter.

Probably Gradius, thought it's Strikers 1945 that got me into the genre.

King of Fighters Sky Stage

loljk

After Burner.

Never could get beyond stage 13. It was just impossible.

Some game called Raptor I think.

>>5624118
There is no man who cannot atleast mention 3 WW2 fighters

Fact!.

>>5624018
Don't hate on the reds, bro. Yak-3 is gorgeous.

Why does noone like me ;_;

Galaga

Does Afterburner count?

Raptor CoS shareware version.

Galaga/galaxian, not sure which.

fuck, I don't remember the name... space force... fuck, I don't know, but the bosses had an A on it.

an old game.

I never learned the name. It was on an arcade back in the '80s, you flew in some kind of "rocket" that was losing its segments as you got hit. Really old school pixel graphics, I don't think it had any background, and it probably did not even have vertical movement. That's all I remember. ;_;

>>5625263
oh, I found it.

STAR FUCKING FORCE

Not sure if it counts but it was the first (and only) shmuppy game I played when I was a child.
Didn't really like it either.

It's sidescrolling and not all that typical for a shmup, but it's pretty much the only one I really remember playing a lot.

raptor

Galaga.

>mfw I found out you can destroy the enemy that captured your ship and combine it with your current one

Captain Planet and the Planeteers

Some shooter on the Sega Genesis, it was like you were a WWII era fighter shooting down alien ships. All sorts of weapon upgrades and by about level 5 you had huge beams sweeping across the screen when you shot.

>>5625491
Strike Witches?

>>5625491

sounds like Fire Shark but I don't remember aliens

>>5625523
Well, they probably weren't alien ships, but they seemed to have much higher tech level than me.

Probably this.
