Are there any good top down / sidescrolling SHMUPS on GOG that anyone can recommend me trying out?

I was happy to find Tyrian as one of the free games on GOG as it's definitely one of if not my favorite shmup of all time. However I'm having a difficult time finding any others, if there are any on GOG. So I'd like to see the opinions of others.

Thanks a ton! I will definitely pick that up.

That reminds me, I could go for some River Raid right about now.

I also wish we had more shmups here...

Desura has more shoot em up than GOG..

A LOT more...

Hopefully they can get some added. One of my most favorite genres.

They should do a Gradius collection... just like Raiden.

I would definitely buy a Gradius collection, or any cave shmup in the very rare chance those would be added.

I'm not really into bullet hell, but I like the Cave games!..

I also enjoyed Jamestown, but only because it go easy on bullets, most of the time.. ;p

This thread is KILLING ME!

Gradius, Gunsmoke, Ikari Warriors.
It's my childhood all over again! :D

Gun.Smoke is also one of my favs... ;p

Have you tried the "remake"?

I have the rom but if this one you sent me works I just may have to buy you a new car, or house, or be your indentured servant or something.

Actually there is a lot there that is missing from the original. Thanks for the link but I'll stick with the rom.

I still haven't tried... ;p

Well, don't need to be a car or a new house, but 1/4 of GOG catalog and some sexual favors will do.
