Xenon II was fun and very polished.
 
I only has the coverdisk demo, didn't have much money in those days.

Just a shame it sucked on the Mega Drive.

Nah it just sucked lol. I enjoyed the Amiga version but the Mega Drive version didn't feel as good to play.

The ST version of Black Hornet is nice smooth scroll so even the Amiga version must be good.

Many of my fave shooters have already been listed so I will just list my fave old shooters from 1987-1988.

1987: Plutos
1988: Menace (the prequel to Blood Money)
1988: Sidewinder (The coders were friends of mine.  I pushed them to use 64 colors but they said "not enough memory bandwidth")

Of the traditional 2D-shooters I liked Blastar and Disposable Heroe aswell as Project X. Ofcourse the original R-type wasnt half bad. But the best one is for sure Banshee.

@Cammy never saw that one before, nice.

Katakis and R-Type are two of my faves (although pretty much the same game). Also liked Menace for a while. I'll always have a soft spot for Goldrunner even though it's not great as it came free with my Amiga. I am the only person who thought Xenon 2 was utter $hite?

Also noone mentioned "Phobia", a giant branching network of horizontal scrolling rock-hard shootemup with levels based on different phobias.

Thanks for all the idea's everyone!
Well, Phobia and Black Hornet are on my list now... I haven't played it, but the graphics of Black Hornet look pretty awesome!

Funny thing is, I ended up getting a full tricked-out Sega Genesis/32X/CD system, just to play oddball Japanese shoot 'em up games, only to find some GREAT ones on the Amiga....

Oh, no one mentioned Apidya???
For shame! :roflmao:

Hybris is pretty nice, better than Battle Squadron in my humble opinion, even if it does lack a 2 player mode.

Apidya is a fantastic Nemesis/Gradius-style shooter (with insects :D)
