That's because I hold 16bit-console-shmups in high regard.

So far I've played:

Mega Drive:
Thunderforce III
Thunderforce IV
Musha Aleste

Super NES:
Axelay
Super Aleste
Super R-Type
R-Type III

PC Engine:
Gradius
Parodius
R-Type
Raiden

Neo Geo:
Blazing Star
Pulstar

I prefer each of them over Gynoug (even the not-so-great Axelay).
While it's not a bad game it's still the "worst 16-bit console shmup I ever played"...

And while I've played worse Amiga shmups than Gynoug (Insects in Space, Katakis, Agony) I also think Battle Squadron, Apidya, Banshee, Hybris, SWIV, Silkworm, R-Type I&II and Uridium II are superior.
