murve33 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I used to always be on the lookout for extremely colorful fast-paced games. Here is what I've come up with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x7naspEhD8 Had the honor of playing Robotron on an actual arcade system in New Jersey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsKbsXnb04M&feature=related Another Williams Electronics Title, and Sequel to Robotron. Entirely different gameplay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thVwP2-zCkI Found it on that IndieGames website. Obviously Robotron inspired. Piss poor video quality. Other titles I'm fond of are... -Cactussquid's Clean Asia and Seizuredome -Williams Electonic's Defender -Stern's Berzerk and Frenzy -Wizard of Wor can get pretty trippy as hell. -Major Havoc -Tac/Scan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wall Bird Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Ikaruga The main game mechanic in this blisteringly hard 2-D flight shooter is this: enemies fire either black projectiles or white projectiles. Your ship has the ability to alternate between black or white at will in order to make yourself invulnerable to projectiles of the corresponding color. There are a lot of projectiles to avoid.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Are you telling me there was a real arcade game called WAR TWAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murve33 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Are you telling me there was a real arcade game called WAR TWAT? I wish. Nah, it was an Indie developer recently. I should've said. Arcade-Style shooters. Hey Wall Bird, do you have a link for PC? Willing to give that a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFBiqw_ceFA doesn't get much more colourful than jikkyou oshaberi parodius. not exactly fast paced but its incredibly hard. also just fucking bizarre. disco dj penguins, santa claws on a unicycle juggling chicken legs... the second boss is a giant schoolgirl. another one is a boob ship. i dunno, it's out there. and fun.

soundwave Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Geometry Wars (trippy as it gets, good on 360 and DS) Psyvariar 2 (if you can get a good DC ROM pleeeease let me know) Rez (classic) Gradius V (more spacey but the weapons are awesome) Silpheed (not to difficult and really nice smooth graphics) Steel Dragon EX (high speed arcade shmup) Castle of Shikigami 2 (very playable but very challenging) Ikaruga (the pinnacle but very hard) Space Harrier (timeless) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll find an emulator one of these days. Another game I recommend is Space Phallus. It used to be extremely difficult, but sadly, the developer dumbed it down. Dicks everywhere. NSFW!

murve33 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 The R-type series is good. Darius is a similar title. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-77wzXOKtZ0 You can get it for MAME.
