I don't see anything wrong with liking side scrollers just because the industry is scared of them or whatever.

I never said it was a bad thing.
Horizontal ones have a completely different way of playing. I think I prefer them too. R-Type II has to be among my top all-time horizontal scrolling shmups.

Give Xexex a try, it's a mix of R-Type with Gradius.I really like it.
Salamander has to be another fave of mine too, I like it more than Gradius and Lfeforce (I don't like the powerup system)

You are a horizontal scroller dude, but those re not produced anymore sad How come Xexex is not on your list, then?

Regarding Darius, though, I gotta say I *really* liked Darius Gaiden. But that's the only one.

Never got to play it, not enough time plus one can't play every single one emulation or no.
But I do love both vert and horz(?) shooters so I don't see anything wrong with liking side scrollers just because the industry is scared of them or whatever.

Speaking of which  Gaiares and Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer
Also Phelios and Truxton.

NEMESIS '90 KAI on teh Sharp X68000).
It's a pretty fucking cool compilation, I recommend it to any shmups fan.
