Horizontal Shooter Recommendations

[Kiken]

Not mentioned, but worth taking a look:
X-Multiply (for Saturn or PS as "Arcade Gears" release)
also 3 Wonders has that hori shooter (Chariot) which is pretty enjoyable (also available as an Arcade Gears release)

3 Wonders is on Capcom Classics Collection 2 along with Eco Fighters (which he already listed). Although, I guess the input lag-thing may be an issue with the other games on the disc.

Apidya .

Retro Gamer had a nice "Making of" feature on this game this month. Coincidence?

[bVork]

Clearly. I don't read Retro Gamer.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

Clearly you should.

Clearly.

Mars Matrix hasn;t been mentioned yet? Wait, that might be vertical. STILL.

Space Invaders Extreme with the DS turned sideways!

NKI found that, at least with CCC2's SSF2T (whew), there's some pretty substantial lag. I don't think it's a big stretch to guess that all the games on the collection use similar emulation tech.

I read that SSF2T and Eco Fighters in CCC2 used a new emulator for CPS2 and QSound. I don't think it's safe to assume that all games would be affected in the same way, though I would like to see tests with the other games in the collection.

oh yeah, DUX is out or coming out. That's supposed to be special.

Special is an interesting word for that piece of trash.
