Shmup collecting for me became an obsession, like pokemon. "Gotta catch 'em all".</div>

I used to run a shoot em up league online. 'The Retro Gamer Forum Shmup League'. It's still going strong and I passed the reins over to a friend of mine in my absence. I recently returned after what seemed like years to check on some old friends and reconnect with the community. At first I had no intention of staying around or starting to collect again. I had begun selling a lot of my collection but, the more I talked to my old friends, I realised how much i had missed the buzz of the league and just games. Games of all sorts too not just shooters. So, I have a new collecting goal, somewhat different to my elitist collecting of before but still perhaps just as elitist. You decide. I'm only buying games for the fourth generation of consoles, Neo Geo, Mega Drive, SNES and PC Engine.. all genres too. I just want a solid collection. If a game is bad i'm not keeping it just because it's ticked off a list. That generation is what I remember best about gaming, the Super Nintendo in particular. It holds all my fondest memories of being a kid and playing great games like Super Mario World and Street Fighter II Turbo. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To cut this short, I just wanted to say to whoever is still following, i'll be writing some blog entries. Collection updates, what games i'm playing, ramblings, reviews and I have a Neo Geo Shmup guide i never finished from 2 years ago. But i'm back for now so expect to see more soon. Come check out the Shmup League if you fancy some friendly competitive banter and gaming. It's where i'll be, at least until fallout 4 lands :)</div>

Well June going into July was meant as a conscious break from shmup shopping, but this hobby tends to throw some gems at you price wise and before you know it, you've amassed a fair haul.<br />

Never a fan of the Sega Mega Drive as a child growing up obsessed with Nintendo. Super Mario World was enough to mark all things video game related null and void in my mind. Friends had them, friends forced me to play co-op Sonic The Hedgehog 2, friends tried, and friends failed. As an adult, and more importantly a shmup enthusiast, things are quite different. I'm just getting into the system, have nearing 30 shmups for it now and although I own a PAL Mega Drive and a modded PAL Mega Drive for imports, this version is the ultimate for me. Although the box is a little tatty, the console looks untouched. Now if just someone would just buy me Eliminate Down and Gleylancer? The rest aren't so bank account damaging. <br />
<br />
Picked up a few more Mega Drive shmups also. Tatsujin I already have but was bundled in with the console.<br />

A game that i was really excited about playing but it's pretty bad due to slow down. Hit just shy of 6 million points after a few credits. I think I was only 1 stage off a 1CC.<br />

INVASION DAY<br />
<br />
This was even more unplanned, i was actually looking for some Space Invaders memorabilia, perhaps a poster or flyer to show some respect that it was indeed the game that kick started the whole genre. When you see a game for such a good price, that you know you will need one day to complete a collection, how can you turn it down? Especially if it's the cost of less than half a pint of lager in your local.<br />

Following the recent RGF Shmup League onslaught of the original R-Type, I've begun searching out the other ports of the game for my collection.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well it's been awhile without an update so that's it for til the end of August for now pickup wise. I still have <i>Mushihimesama HD</i> to pick up and looking forward to the release of <i>Ginga Force</i> (31st Aug), yet another 360 shmup by the same team who developed the quite brilliant, <i>Eschatos</i>.<br />
<br />

<b>Update</b>: I haven't really been shmup shopping much this month, but managed to come across the 360 compilation<b> <i>Qubed</i></b>, which has <b><i>Rez HD</i></b> on. Finally after realising I had it spelt wrong on my collection checklists, so I never had it come up in my eBay searches.. I found it, and very cheap it was too. <br />
<br />
The 360 shmup collection is near complete. Something I intend having finished before Christmas. I Still have <b><i>Namco Museum Virtual Arcade</i></b>, <b><i>Senko No Ronde Duo</i></b>, <i><b>Shooting Love 200X</b> </i>& <b><i>Strike Witches</i></b> to pick up. <b><i>Mushihimesama HD</i></b> is on the way and only just missed out on this blog post, being as it was released just a few days ago. It's on it's way from Japan I hope, having put in a pre-order quite awhile back.<br />

Another great PAL port by <b><i>Rising Star Games</i></b>. Turns out I've actually played the PAL release more now than I did of the JAP release. I'm wondering if a sequel is on the cards.. I'm still very much hoping there will be a <b><i>Deathsmiles III</i></b>.<br />

A careless purchase from me. I saw this on Play Asia whilst looking for <b><i>Mushishimesama HD</i></b> pre order and put in an order for this without even thinking. I already own the JAP versions of <i><b>Daifukkatsu 1.5</b></i> & Black Label as well as the PAL release. I don't understand why <b><i>Cave</i></b> didn't release this on one disc either. Oh well, one for the completists I guess.</div>

The game that started off the Raiden series. Not had a chance to play this yet but looking forward to working my way through the entire series having only previously played 2 &3. Beautiful overall package. Also known as Raiden Trad.<b><br /></b></div>

Incredible package all round. 3 complete arcade ports of Raiden Fighters 1, 2 & Jet. Home console exclusive versions. I was holding out for the PAL release of this package but it really does seem like it will never arrive.<br />

I picked this up for collection purposes only. I already have Joint Strike on XBLA. Not a great game by any means.<br />

Upon completing my PAL/US Sega Master System shmup collection awhile back. I really thought there were no more I needed to pick up, except Japanese releases and Sega card variants. My good friend and fellow shmup collector, Kollision.. discovered otherwise. So I thank him.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure how "traditional" a shmup this is but it has forced scrolling... Probably sucks I'd imagine.<br />
<br />
<br />
After hitting Arrow Flash hard over the course of the <a href="http://retrogamer.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=32458" target="_blank">Shmup League</a> Game #2, I had a surge of eBay mega drive hunts. As a kid I only ever played Sega machines if friend owned them. I owned all Nintendo until the PS1. I have had the pleasure of catching up the last few years.<br />
<br />
Here are the results of my finds. Phelios I bought from <a href="http://www.genkivideogames.com/japanese_imported_video_games.asp?pagetoshow=home&dept=home" target="_blank">Genki</a>:<br />

<br />
As the shmup league enters into it's 3rd competitive game we welcome 3 new players, who joined during Game #2. <i>kollisionBR, coffeejoerx & Grunthos</i>.<br />
<br />
It's been a quick start to the Sonic Wings competition with some high scores showing face already. I'm currently having a battle with the brick wall known as Stage 6. It's driving me mad. I can pass the stage but just not consistently.<br />
<br />
Here is my first credit score:<br />
<br />
<b>AmidstStorm - AMS -
355,200 - Hi-en - JAP MVS</b><br />
<br />
<b> </b><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o177/bpredgewell/IMG_0305.jpg" /> </a><br />
<br />
I'm looking to perhaps clear the first loop of this game, but being as we're playing on MVS arcade settings, the rank system can become quite brutal if you're doing well and haven't lost any lives.<br />
<br />

<br />
- We choose one shmup to play.<br />
<br />
-
The current game time will be a period of 30 days, rather than starting
on a set date, like the first day of each month which was originally
planned.<br />
<br />
- The top five high scorers of the current game will each nominate a new game to play for the next 30 days.<br />
<br />
-
The rest of the league players including the ones who nominate, then get
two votes each to cast on two of the five games nominated.<br />
<br />
-
Highest voted game out of the five nominated then becomes the new game
we play. In a case of a tie of votes. A re-vote on the two games will be
asked by all players to pick just one of the two.<br />
<br />
- There will
be a short period, hopefully no longer than 5-7 days between each game
played, to give players the chance to decide their nominations and cast
their votes for the new game. <br />
<br />
-Once all nominations and votes by the current league players are made. The next game will start immediately.<br />
<br />
- There will be 10 different consecutive games played in the league which will make up a season. <br />
<br />
-
Emulation is allowed. Save states are classed as foul play in a high
score run submission. Practice techniques are down to the player's
choice. If someone suspects a player has been cheating, anyone in the
league has the right to ask for video evidence of your skills if they
suspect foul play. You also might get booed at, or internet face
punched.<br />
<br />
- People should take a little consideration for others
when Nominating games. eg. easily emulated and available to all
involved. Please keep this in mind when nominating. Modern arcade games
may not yet be emulated or the quality not up to scratch. Also try avoid
expensive titles such as Radiant Silvergun, Hyper Duel. etc. unless the
emulation is of good quality or enough people own it. <br />
<br />
- If
people do vote for a game that not everyone can play. Then i'm afraid
majority vote rules. Especially in the case of modern 360 titles which
some of us are itching to play. I just ask for people to be considerate
when nominating.<br />
<br />
- The use of auto fire is allowed on a game if
agreed by most players. Some games it will not be allowed due to it's
enhancement of the scoring. This will all be bought up for discussion as
and when is needed.<br />
<br />
- Games being played across multiple
formats, ie. Sat, PS1 versions. Should play similarly, but not in all
cases and may have different scoring issues. If playeers bring it to
attention that they have noticed a difference between ports then we will
select one. <br />
<br />
- In the case of using any type of MAME emulator
for arcade titles. Please choose the Japanese rom as default. Console
emulator rom region version will be decided after selection of new game.<br />
<br />
-
You have one credit on a default difficulty to record your highest
score. In most cases this will be Normal difficulty which is standard
default. If a game's default difficulty is set to Easy, we then change
it to Normal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">IN REGARDS TO THE LEAGUE TABLE AND POINTS</span> <br />
<br />
-
The top 10 highest scorers of the current game at the end of that 30
day period will be awarded points. Point values to be as follows: <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">1st - 10 points <br />2nd - 9 points<br />3rd - 8 points<br />4th - 7 points<br />5th - 6 points<br />6th - 5 points<br />7th - 4 points<br />8th - 3 points<br />9th - 2 points<br />10th - 1 point</span><br />
<br />
-
An additional 3 bonus points will be given to any player (whatever
position they finish at the end of current game period, even if outside
the top 10 high scorers), that manages a 1 credit clear.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Additional bonus points may be agreed at the start of a particlular game if for example the game warrants it. A second loop clear for example or a one life clear.<br />
<br />
- It is
possible to score a maximum of 130 points throughout the season if a
player scores highest in all 10 games played and manages to 1 credit
clear all of them. "I will personally donate a kidney if someone pulls
this off.. or maybe just buy you a few pints <img alt=":)" src="http://retrogamer.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" title="Smile" />"<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">POSTING SCORES</span><br />
<br />
-
All high score submissions to be made by photograph and posted in this
thread for all to see. Please see post 2 or 3 on page 1 of this thread
for current submission details needed as these may change from game to
game.<br />
<br />
Eg. of submission info needed.<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Player name - Scoreboard initials used - score - stage reached - character used - shot type - format used<br /><br />AmidstStorm - AMS - 213,400 - 3 - Michael - Auto - MAME</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
-
A suggestion for only scores to be made during the 30 day period to be
posted for submission into the league. Though this cannot and won't be
strictly policed. It would be nice to think somebody wouldn't just come
in, post a pic of a score they did 5 yrs ago with a 1 credit clear, when
now they can't even play the game to any sort of similar standard. <br />
<br />
-
You can submit as many high scores as you like throughout the 30 day
period of the current game. "I highly recommend this. I like to see
people's progress and it will keep the thread busy which = potentially
more players", and also perhaps iron out any doubts from what was
mentioned above.<br />
<br />
- No scores will be accepted after the last day of the date stated for the current game.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">HOW TO ENTER</span><br />
<br />
- Just post a high score in this thread for the current game in play, or post a comment and get involved.<br />
<br />
- You <span style="font-weight: bold;">CAN</span> join the league even if you don't play all games, or come in late. <br />
<br />
- You cannot re-visit previous played games and post scores after the closing date for that game to catch up.<br />
<br />
-
Any unknown new forum members joining after the start of the league
will have to be accepted by the league players group decision.<br />

After a brief period of uncertainty about my collecting, everything seems to have slotted into place and I have realised that I need to just enjoy what I'm doing, not worry about having to own everything ever released, hunt out bargains (they do really exist in the shmup world!), and bottom line.. just enjoy playing the damn games.<br />
<br />
So, I started by trawling Ebay and my import sites like I used to, and one or two purchases, soon turned into a few :)<br />
<br />
Let's take a look at the shmups I picked up during December. I would just like to add that all the following, I picked up at very good prices, hence the amount I got in December. Sometimes if you see something at a price you know will be hard to beat, especially with Japanese Xbox 360 games, it's sometimes worth taking the fall now if it saves you money on something you were looking to buy anyhow at a later date. <br />

The following 3 PC Engine titles do not include the Hu-card games. I managed to pick these up in mint condition just the jewel case and instructions for just £1.50 each. I figured I would come across cheap hu-cards only of these games at some point, and would probably work out cheaper than buying the games complete.<br />

I wasn't planning a hurried purchase of the Japanese version of <i>Deathsmiles</i> as I own the PAL version, but was planning on getting it sooner or later When one came up on ebay for under £30 delivered, it seemed rude not to take it off the seller's hands.<br />

Another unplanned purchase considering I already own the Black Label version and had ordered the below PAL version, but at the price (about 50% cheaper than VideoGameImports and Genki had it listed for), I couldn't turn it down. Simple decison really.<br />

All praise Rising Star Games for yet another fantastic port and for having the balls for releasing a Cave game in PAL regions, probably knowing it's not going to really break any record sales in this modern game age of moronic modern warfare mentalities. May we have many more please? <br />

<br />
It seems not too long ago that I first stumbled across the news that a new Dreamcast shooter was in development called <i>Sturmwind.</i> This excited me no end as it hadn't been long since the release of NG-DEV's, <i>Fast Striker</i>, and I was inspired to start my shmup blog again. This was back in Febuary 2011, but I still have no <i>Sturmwind</i> lining my collection shelving.<br />
It seems the previous release date on Red Spot Games pre order site was late December 2011 and has now been penned in as "won't be released <span style="font-weight: bold;">BEFORE MARCH 2012</span>!!". This isn't the end of the world, as I'd rather see them take longer if the game ends up being more impressive overall. <br />

<b>2012 PHYSICAL RELEASES</b><br />
<br />
After 2011 being such a big year for shmup releases in my eyes, well certainly in regards to the Xbox 360, 2012 was always going to be one of either excitement or void. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
In 2011, Cave repackaged some of their fine bullet hell shooters from their back catalogue, such as <i>Muchi Muchi Pork!</i> and <i>DoDonPachi Daifukkatsu Black Label</i>, as well as giving us new releases in the shape of <i>Akai Katana Shin</i>, not long after it was released in Japanese arcades! Others included, <i>Bullet Soul</i> From 5pb Games, <i>Eschatos</i> from Qute (suprise Shmup of the year for me), and a new <i>Otomedius</i> game in Konami's series (please revive <i>Gradius</i>, <i>Twin Bee</i> and <i>Parodius</i> Konami?), not forgetting Rising Star Games' efforts for PAL releases of <i>Deathsmiles</i> and <i>DoDonPachi Resurrection</i>.</div>

So what's on the cards for 2012 you might ask? Well I haven't heard of alot so far. When I say this I mean more in a sense of Xbox 360 releases and physical releases at that. I find it hard to keep up with the Digital releases and although the first half of last year I was buying every 360 digi and Indie shmup I could get my hands on, It soon became apparent that I was forgetting I had bought most of them before I even played them. Out of sight, out of mind perhaps? I even passed on the <i>Radiant Silvergun</i> HD release and I was looking forward to that one earlier in the year, even though I own the Saturn version. </div>

Over here in the UK we never received our PAL releases of <i>Raiden Fighter Aces</i> on the 360 and <i>Shikigami No Shiro III</i> on the Wii, so although I'm not holding my breath for these, it's always a possibility we might see these at some point this year. Look what happened with <i>Duke Nukem</i> :P </div>

The cracking Dreamcast shooter, <i>Under Defeat</i> is getting a HD overhaul and is due for release as early as February. I was so pleased to hear that as well as a 360 release, that a PS3 port is happening too. This will be only the second physical shmup release available for Sony's beast, after last year's <i>Mamoru Kun</i> port. </div>

<b>AKAI KATANA SHIN (PAL RELEASE)</b><br />
<br />
Other releases to get excited about, are a port by Rising Star Games of Cave's 2011 Hori shooter, <i>Akai Katana Shin</i>. This is just fantastic news for anybody not owning a Japanese region Xbox 360 living in the PAL regions. It will also be considerably cheaper than the Japanese release if you haven't already picked it up and they often contain the bonuses of extra content and a soundtrack cd. I can only take my hat off to Rising Star Games for continuing their efforts to keep porting these fantastic games, and hope there are many more to come for this year and the ones preceding. </div>

Lastly I throw a small mention to news of a Capcom compilation to be released this year of their previous digi only releases, which will include the not so exciting, vertical shmup, <i>1942: Joint Strike</i>. </div>

My apologies for the lack of coverage on PC shmups such as the Doujin/Indie scene, I began playing some games last year such as ones in the Touhou series and the fantastic <i>Crimzon Clover,</i> but I just haven't really hit that scene yet, as with the modern arcade scene. Watch this space. Any suggestions, or recommendations are always most welcome though :)</div>

<br />
<br />
<b>*EDIT* - Since this post I have one more US/PAL release that I do not own - Predator 2, and also a handful of JAP only releases. Look at my Collection checklists for the full listing.</b><br />
<br />
Not the most exciting collection achievement, but a small milestone in my collection. It's nice to finally have one system completely signed off. There are still a few variants I could pickup, such as the Astro Warrior double packs and there is a Brazil release 20 in 1 that came bundled with the Master System III in Brazil, which is a collection of absolutely dire games, that can't even be called games, they're programmed that poorly.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o177/bpredgewell/DSC00001.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
It was a system I focused on mainly because I knew I could pick up a majority of the games cheaply, and it wasn't until I started searching for certain games that i realised this wasn't always the case. A few games that I had trouble finding were, Astro Warrior (standalone version), that I had to import from the States.<br />
<br />
Power Strike II goes for really high prices on Ebay, but I managed to find a copy from a fellow collector in New Zealand for a good price. <br />
<br />
Sapo Xule, is a Brazilian release only and was very hard to find. When I received the game from a Brazilian seller, he had included the wrong cartridge. It took many emails back and forth, thankfully translated by Edward (Ed's 1CC log/KollisionBR), so a massive thank you to him for his help so I finally got the right game cartridge at no extra cost. <br />
<br />
Bomber Raid I had to import from Australia, and the 3D titles seem to fluctuate in price from high to bargain low. I think i imported all of these from the States.<br />

<br />
It's been awhile without an update on this blog, and this pickup post has been a long time coming. I've had most of these games since early June and some of the ones from Japan were ordered as early as May.<br />
<br />
I've been taking a break from shmup playing, which was initially unplanned. I got stuck into some really big and involving games the last few months. After an initial stint of the excellant Akai Katana Shin, my attention was turned to quite a few other non shmup games, Uncharted, Medal Of Honour, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Little Big Planet 2, Mario Galaxy 2, LA Noire & the mighty Fallout: New Vegas, which i have already put 90+ hours into, with Fallout 3: GOTY edition now started but put on hold before I have a Fallout brain overload.<br />
<br />
I would just like to say a massive thank you to Geoff or Gmintyfresh as some of you may know him, for sending me through a copy of Arcade Unplugged on the 360 and Steel Dragon Ex on the PS2. Really kind of him and if you haven't already checked out his blog and Youtube channel, here are the links. He is passionate about shmups and also video games in general, always has alot to say on a given subject and his videos are always informative, and has some great pickups to show.<br />

<br />
I would just like to add that Astro Warrior standalone version was the final game I needed to complete my collection of Master System shmups. It's quite hard to find in good condition and for a reasonable price. I imported it from the States and it was in mint condition.<br />
<br />
I know own all 31 standalone versions. There are variants, for eg. the twin game packs with Pit Pot, Hang On etc. but I don't feel the need to own these.<br />

I actually picked this up in April but somehow missed it in last months post. My first ever Atari 7800 game. I never had any plans of collecting for anything pre NES, but I loved the cover art for this and it was boxed and complete and a bargain at £3 delivered.<br />
<br />
I don't actually own the system, but I remember wanting a 7800 as a child. I always liked the look of the console for some reason. My parents wouldn't buy me one as they had already bought me an Atari 520ST (*cue hisses from the Amiga heads), and a NES. Fair enough I suppose. I will pick one up one day, it's one of the few consoles that i've wanted that I don't now own.<br />

</div>Not really a big fan of the DS. I own 2, an original JAP 'phat' model as they call it, and the slim, brighter screened, DS lite. I always find it gives me hand cramps and isn't that great to play for long periods of time, let alone the thought of using it to play my favourite genre. All things aside, I really wanted to pick up Ketsui Death Label one day so I kept hold of the system just incase. Glory Days 2 reminds me of games like Choplifter. I have't really given it more than a quick try but found it hard to control and shoot accurately, as your forward motion forces the front of the helicopter to point angled towards the ground. The DS stylus can be used for controls or you can use the standard D-pad thankfully.<br />

First impressions are really good for Nanostray. Not had a chance to play it more than the first level, but looks very promising indeed. Will definitely be looking to pick up the sequel soon too.<br />

Game: Eschatos<br />
System: Xbox 360<br />
Developer: Qute<br />
Released: 2011<br />
<br />
It finally arrived, just over a month after release date and a little bit of worry from myself. This is by far my most played shmup in the month of May, and so I give it my Gunhead shmup of the month award. I'm sure it's very proud of itself :P<br />

I did a mini review of Cardinal Sins on a previous post <a href="http://gunheadshmups.blogspot.com/2011/05/1cc-cardinal-sins-judgement-silversword.html">here</a>.<br />

I also inherited a Master System II back in March, for absolutely nothing but the cost of postage. Doesn't work too well. Some picture issues at times, but I think it may just need a good clean inside. Sadly these units only output an RF signal. Perhaps a future mod project for myself?<br />

The former being the winner of the, WWGP 2001 WonderWitch programming contest. WonderWitch was a development tool for homebrew WonderSwan games.<br />
<br />
Judgement Silversword is a fan-created vertically scrolling shooter, that was an homage to Treasure's Radiant Silvergun. A full boxed retail version was released in 2004 and fetches quite a price on Ebay these days, if it appears at all.<br />
<br />
An update of Judgement Silversword was released called Cardinal Sins - Recycle Edition in 2005, and was to my knowledge only available via download using the WonderWitch tool. It was based on the Caravan style of Japanese shoot 'em up games of having a set time to pass a set number of enemies for score.<br />
<br />
<b>Cardinal Sins</b> - The game features three difficulty modes, Trial, Normal and Marathon. The ship has two weapon shot types. A standard forward shot, which I believe seems to be more powerful in a head on situation, and a spread shot that creates a cone-shaped pattern. This comes in useful when you have a barrage of enemies on both sides of the screen. There is also a shield which becomes vital (if you remember you have it) in tight situations. This replaces the more traditional 'bomb' usually found in the genre. You pass from stage to stage with increased waves of enemies and harder bullet patterns, and given an overall hit percentage at the end of each stage, amounting to higher scores.<br />

It is a rarity that I play a shmup long enough to reach a standard where a 1CC is in sight and often with shmups, the difficulty spikes on the later levels making it only possible for true die hards or with extreme persistence, to finally be able to finish a game on one solemn credit. I've managed a few in my time but only usually with shooters which seem to be alot easier or when playing on lower difficulty settings. The true masters aim to do it in one life.<br />
<br />
On first try I managed to clear Cardinal Sins on Normal mode on one credit. Of course, it isn't that long a game, but it is reasonably challenging, with some tougher bullet patterns later on. Slowdown can be used to your advantage in some of the more bullet hellish moments where close quarter dodging without this slowdown could become quite impossible (*note to self - "you have a shield! use it!").<br />
<br />
There is opportunity for picking up many extends on one particluar level, where they seem to spit out lives after every few enemies. This should be taken to full advantage and wasn't until my second playthrough that I realised what was going on. The only hinderence of this is that you can shoot the life icon making it explode and disappear. These icons can be difficult to collect whilst dodging the barrage of projectiles, often leading to losing a life rather than gaining. Once the life leaves the bottom of the screen, it is gone for good.<br />
<br />
After finishing the game, I decided to play through again to improve score. On my three subsequent attempts I failed to get anywhere near the end, and lost all my lives rapidly in the later stages. At one point I had accumulated eight lives and yet still failed to finish.<br />
<br />
Below is my 1CC score. I most certainly will be attempting to better my score or challenge the other modes.<br />

Another replacement for a cart only version. I'd never come across a solid box version before and always thought it came in a cardboard box. I have recently discovered too that this was only released in the US, SA & EUR. It never saw a Japanese release.<br />

<br />
Well after a long drought of buying retro games and more importantly, shoot em ups, I went on a bit of a buying spree that resulted in getting my hands on nearly every shmup available for the Sega Master System, but more on that later.<br />
<br />
I'm going to start this post off by showing you my two latest systems pickups, before I get into the games.<br />

Now this was given to me absolutely free of charge with a handful of games (no shmups sadly), but the only issue with the handheld was that the UMD drive wouldn't play the games. Other than that, it was in near mint condition. I thought about replacing the laser, getting it sent off for repair, but it came to my knowledge awhile back about people hacking their PSPs with custom firmware. I didn't really delve into the details of this process as I never really had any intention of getting a PSP back then. It was only when I saw the growing catalogue of shmups being released and in particular, Darius Burst, that my levels of intrigue hit the roof.<br />

<br />
Now this is a great piece of kit, that is essentially a way of overwriting Sony's firware to install custom firmware on your PSP. You receive with the pack, a Memory card with the firware already on, and you all you have to do is follow these simple steps.<br />
<br />
1. Insert the memory card into your PSP.<br />
2. Hold down the left trigger and insert the Pandora battery into the PSP.<br />
3. Remain holding the left trigger and the orange light should start blinking and some text options should appear on screen.<br />
4. Release trigger and selct 'Install 5.00 M33'<br />
5. Once installed, you press X to reboot the PSP.<br />
<br />
It's that simple. It allows you to play games (back ups/ISOS) and movies straight from your memory card without the use of UMDs.<br />
<br />
Problem solved. A free PSP once deemed worthless, now with custom firmware. <br />

<br />
Now i've been wanting a JAP PS1 and PS2 for some time but never really got round to looking one up. The few times I've found JAP PS2 consoles for sale, the prices have put me off instantly.<br />
<br />
A friend was selling up his collection, or the little he had left, and I was offered this modded PS2. I bit his hand off when I heard it played all region discs and the price he wanted for it.<br />
<br />
The console itself is in fantastic shape, and although it's an early mod chip and requires you to activate the chip by timed reset button presses (still confuses me sometimes), it seems to work fine.<br />
<br />
I'm very happy with this pick up because it now means I can buy JAP PS1 & 2 shmups (and the catalogue is big), and actually play them. I've already picked up a few over the recent year or so.<br />

<br />
Now the end of February going into March has been an expensive period, and although i did buy alot, most of these shmups I bought at very good prices hence why it was more a case of, "well i can pay this much now or pay double later"..<br />

Two copies you might ask? Well I bought a described near mint copy from a seller, but when it arrived it wasn't anywhere near the condition it stated. I took half the cost back in refund and he was going to send me a replacement case (the one sent was smashed to pieces). Instead he sent me out another full copy, so I now have two. One i've re-boxed and will sell/trade, and the other is for the collection.<br />

Now this was a game that I had never heard of until I started chasing the full Master System shmup collection. I saw this on Ed's (1CC Log/KollBR), shmup collection list. After speaking with Ed about it, it turns out that it's a hack of Astro Warrior and released in Brazil re-named. Never thought i'd see one of these, but managed to import one in from Brazil. Wasn't cheap mind (for a SMS game), and waiting on a replacement cart as the seller made a mistake before shipping. <br />

Game: Powerstrike II<br />
Developer: Compile <br />
<br />
This was another game I didn't expect to have in my collection so soon. It's on Ebay listed up to anything stupid like £90-£180 these days. I put out a few posts on forums I use in the hope that someone wouldn't know it's current Ebay prices. A few people got back to me, but this one was offered to me for £30 delivered from Australia. It may have someone's name written on it but I'm sure I could remove it at a later date. Just happy to have it boxed, complete and playable. Some say it's one of, if not the best 8 bit shmup money can buy.<br />

<br />
So I thought I'd spend some time writing a short blog post to cover the shooters that are avaliable for Sony's system that hasn't seemed to have followed in it's Father's and Grandfather's shoes for wealth of shmup releases. <br />
<br />
Now I own most of the avaliable Shoot Em Ups for The Playstation 3, partly because there is only one hard copy release that's only just about to be released in Japan this month. The others are only avaliable via download on the Playstation Network.<br />
<br />
I'm only going to cover releases I know of for the UK & US Playstation Network, but please leave comments if there's any I have missed or any I should know about. In particular the Japanese Playstation Network releases. I do have a Japanese account but rarely use it.<br />
<br />
I do not own all these games yet, so if some are questionable entries then please let me know your thoughts.<br />
<br />
So lets start with the recent, due to be hard copy release:<br />

So there we have it. More than some of you may have thought, less than some of us wish we had. I hope this helps any PS3 owners out there who want to play Shoot Em Ups and don't have access to the rather spoilt this gen counterpart, the Xbox 360.<br />

Game: DEATHSMILES: DELUXE EDITION<br />
Format: XBOX 360 (PAL)<br />

<br />
I had already missed out on the original Japanese release of Deathsmiles, having only got a Japanese Xbox 360 around the second quarter of 2010, so went straight to the not so loved second game in the series, Deathsmiles IIX. I have to admit, I really liked DSIIX. initial reactions to the graphics were a bit, "really.. is this game finished".. All things aside, i grew to love the game and 1CC'd it many a time.. though could never take out that final boss on top rank on 360 mode. <br />
<br />
Anyway, when i heard that DS was getting a US release, I thought it was only a matter of time before it hits European shores. So it's here, and I wasn't that keen on it after the first few times I played it. I found it alot less accessible than the sequel, but on extended play, it's becoming alot more enjoyable. I have yet to 1CC it, even on lowest rank.<br />
<br />
Here's my current high score on MBL 360 mode.<br />

I already owned the PAL counterpart, Castle Of Shikigami: War Of The Worlds, but at a bargain £5 delivered, I could never turn down a Japanese PS2 shmup for my collection. A Japanese PS2 is on my list of consoles to get.<br />

A superb arcade port of Psikyo's Dragon Blaze. I picked this up from the same seller as Shikigami above, for £10 delivered as it was still sealed. I broke that seal of course.. it has Psikyo's trademark, Gunbird/Strikers power up system, epic boss battles and tough default arcade gameplay. <br />

One of the shmups on the master system that goes for a higher price. I've been looking at this and it's sequel for awhile. This game goes for around £20-40 on Ebay. i got it for about £13 so was pretty happy. The sequel is alot harder to find, and alot more pricey too.<br />

I found this 3 game Atari compilation whilst searching for Master System shmups on Ebay.. was unaware that it existed. Turns out that it has Missile Command on it, so that was it really. Done deal, another MS shmup for the collection.<br />

This is the US version of Alpha Mission II and the cover art is fantastic. This is my first ever Neo Geo AES game, though Ive owned the system for over a year. I already have this game as the MVS version which I play through my AES using the Super MVS II Converter. A really tough arcade shooter and perhaps one of the best on the the system. I've only scratched the surface of this so far.<br />

A beautiful shooter from NG:DEV. This was ported over from the NEO GEO version and was released in 2010. It's region free. I've been playing this alot over the past few days and at first couldn't get anywhere, even on the suprisingly hard, Novice mode. I've now moved on to Original mode, though Novice not completed without credit feeding. I have so far managed to reach the Stage 3 boss on 1 credit, but I have started to realise ways of chaining better and that there are tech bonuses for destroying certain parts of the bosses before you atack the core. Other modes include Maniac and Omake which are more aimed at bullet hell fans. I actually prefer these modes but they are alot tougher to score points and involve a slightly different chaining system.<br />
<br />
Current high score for original mode is below, though I can hit above 500 million on the first level now alone, so the room for score improvement is massive. This game is a worthy edition to the Dreamcast Shooter library. Thank NG:DEV.<br />

Perhaps my most played Mega Drive shooter so far. It's not a system I show much love for and this is something I'm trying to change. Enjoying this game alot, though Stage 3 suprises me during the water section, as you can literally hold down the shoot button all the way to the end with very minimal bullet dodging. In some ways I found the game to be a little tedious as I tend to play on the assumption that I'm aiming to 1CC games when I play them rather than credit feed them to the end.. so generally as a rule, I have to restart from the beginning when I run out of lives.<br />
