Becides Dragon Spirit, Gradius II and Salamander (which may or may not be the same as Lifeforce, I was never quite sure on that) are there any Famicom or Famicom Disk System only shumps that are worth a look? The NES has quite a few: 1943, GunNac, Lifeforce, Gaurdian Legend and I love them all. Any Famicom shooters never make it over that are worth a look?

Otocky!  The musical shooter :) Lots of fun.  Halley Wars is also supposed to be a really good game. Those two are for FDS, along with Falsion and Gall Force. Star Luster, Super Xevious, and Thexder are some Famicom only shooters.

Also, Parodius and the craziest of them all, Recca.

Twinbee :)


Hehe. I love Twinbee. There's also a hacked version called "Van-1" (?) where the ship is different, the bells are now diamons and the enemies are well different... Another good shooter, by the wat, is Sqoon. Is not GREAT, but does the job right.

Yeah I like Sqoon, but that was for NES too.  Moero Twinbee and you can get some three player action going.

Twinbee is indeed a fun game! Wird how everything hides in clouds though.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Otocky The musical shooter? Now that sounds interesting. Can you tell me more about it?

Star Force was neat.
What about MACROSS?

In Otocky, every time you shoot it makes a different note with different octave in different directions that you shoot.  So, basically you are making the soundtrack to the game while you play.  Here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6L9tKNPrbs&mode=related&search=

Recca for me is the best Famicom shooter by far, is the most actual looking one, is the crap, the shit and all those things you say :)
It has really taken me, actually I'm at stage four, really impressive!

Recca is awesome. Actually my pirate cart only says Carnival 92' but it's worth it. I never end the game. LifeForce is awesome too as Parodius.
