What is the best shoot 'em up you ever played on an Amiga?

All I can think of at the moment is Deluxe Galaga !!

Xenon 2 Megablast fr sure:beautiful and so clean design, great audio, and gameplay. i'm pissed just about the last level not so good, but i get there so little times

and it's a little ripetitive after the 30th time you play it. on the gameplay part maybe Project X is better but i'm tied to the first for sentimental reasons, if you pass me the term

Dizzy · 10 July 2004, 18:19

I wouldn't call Rick Dangerous a shoot em up. More like a platform (Thats what HOL call it too)

Edit: that goes for Gods too, and Risky woods etc

RetroMan · 10 July 2004, 18:20

Don´t think you can call Rick Dangerous and GODS and maybe even Turrican 2 a shooter !!

They are platform games IMO

Tolismlf · 10 July 2004, 18:27

Turrican 2 and Rick dangerous are platform/shoot em'ups. Not exactly platform, not exactly shoot em'ups. So be smarter the next time.

Well, you can shoot in those games, but they are definitely platformers

Tolismlf · 10 July 2004, 18:31

So you call shoot em'up only R-type clones?

Marcuz · 10 July 2004, 18:34

i've posted pre poll... but i second that some up there are not shot-em up, i can remember many others that would fit better, but it's your poll

Tolismlf · 10 July 2004, 18:37

To Retroman:
open the attachment and be a quiet boy.

RetroMan · 10 July 2004, 18:40

I won´t be quiet at all

I think when doing a SHOOTER POLL you should only choose 100% ShootEm Ups .... that´s just my opinion and no one can tell me it isn´t my opinion

Dizzy · 10 July 2004, 18:41

Then I vote for Sensi Soccer, you shoot the ball up in the corner

New boy - I think that attacment show nothing, next time use Hol for finding the true Shoot em up. this is the only place you need to visit.

RetroMan · 10 July 2004, 18:44

Ok, then I vote for Jimmy White's 'Whirlwind' Snooker where you can shoot the ball

Tolismlf · 10 July 2004, 18:48

Shh... be quiet!

Seriously missing one game: APIDYA

Having a shoot-em-up game poll without Apidya is surely a bannable offence ?

IFW · 10 July 2004, 20:30

Not to mention Z-Out

Tolismlf · 10 July 2004, 20:34

Sorry, there are so many good Amiga shoot'em ups. Maybe this shouldn't have been a poll, just a question.

10 July 2004, 21:00

CE is a 8-way shooter, not quite a shoot em UP. I vote for SWIV for pure shoot'em up but it would be CE for me if the question was about shooters in general

the wolf · 10 July 2004, 21:31

Gods and Rick Dangerous shoot'em'up? HAHAHA!!!

Erm... better you remove these from the list, really...

I vote for Deluxe Galaga, another good one is SWIV, but there are plenty of good SEU for this machine...
