Thanks for watching, everyone! Be sure to drop a like if you enjoyed the video, and let me know what your favorite Genesis shooter is. Also, what console should I cover in my next shmup video?

Would love to see you compare this list to the best Super Nintendo shmups!

Never expected the CGR collaboration! Truxton!

I didn't think Mark would say yes...

Thunder Force III and Lightening Force are better ganes (no arguing that), but boy do I love Thunder Force II...it makes you hurt so good!

TF2 is still an awesome game, no doubt about that.

Mixing the two gameplay styles hurt it IMO.

Thunder Force IV is siiiiick. Possibly the best 16-bit console shooter, period.

It's certainly high in the running

Thunder force III doesn't have slow down. But IV looks so much better. Hard for me to pick.

I love Thunder Force IV and Phelios

Phelios is excellent, that's another one I considered for this video

Nice list! The best one that didn't make the cut is Eliminate Down, which was also left in Japan on the Megadrive. And Sega CD also has some excellent shmups.

Yep, Eliminate Down is another damn good one. Lords of Thunder and Robo Aleste on Sega CD are both awesome.

some great selections! shout-out to TRUXTON though, I actually have both games on PC thanks to Bitwave's arcade conversions. I do fire them up every so often! amused at the CGR impression, haha. also love me some RAIDEN although the genesis version lacked co-op.

True, but I almost never play shmups co-op anyway so I don't hold that against it

Gynoug aka Wings of War is my fave, love that

That's a good one, a tad creepy at times lol

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. I mean Musha, Musha, Musha. Musha sound track is so, so, good 😆😆😆

It is indeed, epic Genesis Metal at its finest

There are enough shooters on the Genesis to make a part 2 or even a not quite the best but good nonetheless. Some of the ones I played: Whip Rush Thunderforce 2 Thunderforce 3 Forgotten Worlds Ranger-X Phelios Sol-Deace And some others that involve lots of shooting but may not fit in the strict definition: Gunstar Heroes Granada Target Earth/Assault Suit Leynos Herzog Zwei

I keep popping in Fire Shark and Raiden, I also don't know what it is about it but it's great! Saturn next please Jim.

They're just solid playing games, a perfect balance of challenge and fun. Saturn is coming up, I'm thinking of doing the other 16-bit consoles first though.

Great video! I need to try some of these. At the moment,.my favorite shooter on the Genesis is Steel Empire. The steampunk aesthetic reminds me of the Tonight Tonight video by The Smashing Pumpkins amd the soundtrack is kick ass in that game. The developers had a real vision for that game, stuck to it amd bought it to life. Using a zeppelin as your ship is one of the more unique things I've seen in the genre.

Love seeing gameplay of Musha here Jim & looks bloody awesome here! Nice seeing other SHMUPS here & great video mate! 👍

Musha is the goat. Possibly the best of all time. Ingenious game

One I enjoyed a lot as a kid is insector X

Gleylancer and Eliminate Down are the best imo.

Great list. Even greater Mark impression. 💯👊🏽

Please cover the best SHMUPS for PS1

much appreciated

Great list Jim, I would have found some room on the list for Hellfire, love that game

Great list. Thanks for posting.

I like Hellfire, Darwin 4081, Gynoug and Sol-Deace for those looking for something different.

Fire Shark was my favorite, but no kidding about resetting if you die later on. The difference between your fully powered shot and your starting shot was absurd. I also loved Gaiares, what awesome music and vibe, but only ever beat it using the invincibility cheat code.

Gynoug is really good too

It is indeed

Great Classic Game Room impression! I'm surprised you didn't mention the metal band, Truxton!

You’re awesome great video. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Ontario Canada.

I got the new Gleylancer collectors edition a couple months ago. The freaking box is HUGE! Still trying to figure out where to put it

Best Mark impression ever!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 You could rename your channel to Classic Game Room and none will be the wiser

Hey man! looking forward to watching this

Well, sticking with Genesis games for this video made it easier for me to double check if I have the ROMs of them. Had all of them, including Battle Mania Daiginjou in the Translation folder. Except was only 1 I didn't have, Gleylancer. Well, a quick Google search and about a couple seconds of downloading, and I fixed that problem. 😉 Maybe I might have had it on MAME, but didn't think of checking MAME until I was already on the last game on this video. No big deal though. Anyways, did enjoy this video. Thank you for it.

17:03 That was spot on.

For great Justice!

Cant fault that list Jim.

Sky Shark could have been Sooo good on Genesis

Thunderforce II and MUSHA Aleste are the only Genesis shooters I completed without dying. (1UP?) My MUSHA was the JP import in ‘90 not sure if it makes a difference?

Raiden Trad is short for "Raiden Tradition", because "densetsu" also means "tradition". I would have preferred "Raiden Legend" or "Legend of Raiden", but I guess that is also a little cliché. Raiden Trad it is!

Both great games

Strangely I cannot play TF IV, I just cannot see what is going on on the 1st level there is too much contrasting colours. I am partially color blind though. I had the same experience with Armed Police Batrider. I own all these games except Trouble shooter, never heard of it.

That makes sense, all those scrolling layers and stuff flying around in all directions can be hard on the eyes.

Hi Jim .I love SHMUPS but I'm not very good playing it , which one is easier and more accessible?

Howdy Jim!! How are you doing today sir?!
