i was the same until i got a saturn and got ahold of those rare japanese shmups!

 

now i play shmups more than beatemups!

you might want to change "shmups" to "Shoot em ups" or something like that. Every time I read "shmups" I think its some word or something entirely different from what you are actually talking about.

All the Dreamcast shmups

I'm reasonably good at Progear and Ikaruga.

 

I also like some really old obscure ones... StarGoose or Viper Phase 1 anybody?

I think yeah. And I also saw a new 2.5D Raiden recently. Kinda slow though with the new graphic.

For some reason, I do not like Progear and Ikaruga. Can't get into it though.

 

And nope, never heard of Star Goose and Viper Phase either.

 

Another shmup that i play is the side scrolling shmup from Psikyo, with Japanese medieval characters

(can't remember the name though). And yeah, I do play Psikyo's shmups from time to time if I found one.
