If you look around, there's some other good shooters out for consoles now. Castle Shikagami is for PS2, a vertical shooter that's only 15 bucks and not bad for the money. Gradius V was pretty good, and can be found for around 30. Also give R-Type Final a try. Over 100 ships to unlock, and the levels change depending on how you play the game.

I was walking around gamestop, and I found Mobile Light Force 2 for $5. Pretty fun shooter. I think it's the prequel to the Castle Shikigami series. I'd check it out if you get a chance.

Recently picked up Silplheed for the PS2, pretty hard shooter.

What are some good flash/java shooters?

It's a piece of cake to bake a pretty cake.

A little bump on this thread. There's a pretty good 1/2 hour long show on the history of shmups. It is in french, but you can download subtitles.

Just but the subtitles in the same directory as the video.

Seeing that trailer mainly invoked a meh response as I expected a bit more.
