For the purpose of this thread, the only games qualified are side scrolling shoot em ups ala R Type.
Platformers like Turrican don't count.
Scroll up types like Banshee and Xenon 2 don't count.
So whats the best of the best ? Project X ? Apidya ? Disposable Hero ? The R Type's ? Agony ? Silkworm ?
Which ones did you enjoy the most?
Give me some nominations and maybe we can do some polls
-
Graphically; Agony, Apidya and Project X have to be up there.
But gameplay wise? Some of the classics might fare better. R-Type, Uridium. To be fair I didn't have many Amiga side-scroller shooters though.

Can't think of a single arcade quality horizontally scrolling shootem up. This means gorgeous graphics AND many levels of parallax like Nemesis/Salamander. Most games looked like the efforts of amateurs sadly. The Amiga was capable of an amazing version of Nemesis (Konami)

ABSOLUTELY Disposable Hero!
Great gameplay!
And also Great graphics! But gameplay wa the better I ever discovered on an Amiga shoot'em'up! Not soo easy not so hard.
-
R-Type II although its pretty hard. I also love Silkworm

Definitely the german clone of R-Type from Factor 5 : Katakis !!

SilkWorm was always fun, best with two people playing. And somewhat unique with the ground and air thing
-
I used to load R-Type just for the theme song. Fun on the Amiga, but I lost count of the number of quarters I put into R-Type at the corner 7-11.
-
Agony! I especially like the end of the first level when you can sit in a particular spot at the boss and just hold down the trigger as long as you like to get points and extra lives.
-
I really liked Starray, Silkworm, R-Type I&II, and Thexder.
I still need to play Katakis and Project X.
-
R-Type, Project X and Silkworm!
-
Project X without question.
-
The 1st two that come to mind are RType and Z-Out. I was a big fan (RType) of the arcade game as a teenager, and I was pretty happy with the quality of the Amiga port. It wasnt perfect, but both the graphics and gameplay were pretty well recreated. As for Z-out this is a bit of an under rated gem in my opinion. Well designed levels, and gfx are quite nice, especially as you progress (lots of parallax,etc.). Very much an RType clone, but a well done one, and with enough of it's own ideas to make it good off it's own back.

Apidya, Project-X, Disposable Hero, the R-Types :)
Amig_Nut: Ok, your statement was bit harsh, perhaps.... but true. :( I wish I knew how to program, I'd get some decent shooters for our miggies.... What we really need is an Amiga port of Dezaemon .:hammer:
(basically a shooter maker)
-
Agony has fantastic moody music and beautiful gfx as well as being alot of fun.
-
Blood Money! Period:)
-
I really like T-Zer0, but it's bloody hard!
-
X-out, Project-X, T-Zer0 & Blood money are all pretty good :)
