All this talk about shooters lately has made me want to try out some new ones. There used to be a site with a bunch of freeware shooters, but apparently it is now dead(the link i had no longer works). I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar site that has freeware(not pirated) shooters to download? Any help would be appreciated.
Oh and by shooters I mean games like Strikers 1945, Gigawing, Mars Matrix, you get the idea, not Doom, Quake and the like.

Thank you!!! I really appreciate it! :D
in addition check the only two other sites i check out besides TNL (um.....and IGN:D )
Triggerzone
and
shmups baby
im glad to see the shmup making a comeback!
I downloaded a game called Storm Caliber Clustias Final Attack last night, and wow. This game is amazing! Though it is too easy because I was actually able to beat it without continuing. With as much as I love shooters I've never been able to do that. If you slightly touch the bullets it will send attacks flying back at your enemies. Anyone have any recommendations for good shooters to get? I got a few others but the only one that compares to Storm Caliber was Rally Raid(which I downloaded a long time ago).
MrKasualUltra2000,
Thanks for the links. I often used to visit the second one but I've never been to the first site you listed.
Well, the trend of easiness continues, after posting this message last night I downloaded Cho Ren Sha 68K. Great game, but I don't know if I just got overly good at shooters or something, but I beat it on one credit. Almost one life, but a bout of slowdown in the second level 5 cause me to get blasted. Figures because i never died after that. I even got through the final boss(who was insane) without getting hit and without using bombs. Did I mention this was my first time playing?
Thanks for the recommendations Mechdeus. Also, with GenocideCircuit2(I believe that is the name. The one with the "hentai pic backgrounds") you can slow the game down to make it playable. The option is in the option menu(duh), but I'm not sure what it's called. This was one of the games I downloaded a long time ago so my memory is foggy. All i know is there is a way to slow it down.
Cho Ren Sha 68k is rediculously good.... especially for the file size :)
More shareware really, but there is a free demo:

From here, you can get Takatis, a VERY nice freeware game.
I tried searching but couldn't find crap for that, and I enjoyed some of the shooting so I wanted to play it. Hmm... I'll go search again, thanks.Quote:

If you're that good for Cho Ren Sha, then you're way better then me, I suck at it. But love every minute of it...
MechDeus,
I just dug out the CD I put GC2 on and found out how I slowed it down. Change Flipmode to type 0 to slow it down. It almost makes it too slow. If this doesn't do it then there must be something up with my pc causing the game to slow down considerably when you set flipmode to type0. I have no idea how I did that good at Cho Ren Sha, I'm usually about average in terms of skill when it comes to shooters. The game just clicked with me. I surprised myself quite a bit with the dodging I was doing.
Flip Mode 0 does cause the game to slow down. It's really too bad the game's two speeds are way too fast and a bit too slow, though. We need a Flip Mode 0.5 or something.
I hate to admit how much Genocid Circuit 2 I've played. It's a... good game... Backgrounds? What backgrounds...? :)
And here's my contribution-

Yeah, I found the flipmode switch. Wierd thing is, the speed varies too much. Normal enemies still move pretty fast, but there seems to be more slowdown during the bosses. Personally, I prefer the slowdown as it allows me to dodge bullets better (fast mode makes it damn near impossible to do anything tricky).
Also, as was recommended to me, I in turn recommend Psychic Heroes, damned fun game.
