a pretty big repository of cosplay photos of characters from fairly notable games like dodonpachi and esp ra de, mostly starring three people in the various roles, with some pop n' music thrown in or good measure. plus guwange of course, which is totally rad for me. here.

good darius screens site with information on the bosses from most of the games. though lacking in what it promises to a slight degree, good visual and strategy related content and giant mechanical fish. which i love.

a shmup i never thought i'd find, modeled after a pretty kickin ps1 rpg, baroque shooting takes the crazy enemies of baroque and puts you behind a cupid looking thing with an upgradeable gunstar heroes combining elements crossbow and charges you with the task of killing everything for no reason, to which i hope all of you would answer yes. get to it.

pixelshmup enthusiasts siter skain have finally released the full version of reflex, the triggerhappy shield based space shooter. i remember enjoying the demo of this game quite a bit, though this version is notably more difficult, albeit notably more complete. full download at doujinstyle.

for those of you who know about dreamcast or playstation 2 games may have heard of a game called rez. it was a shooter that has a musical aspect involved. this game is similar, in that the music is enhanced when you destroy an enemy. this makes for some pretty cool effects when you kill several enemies in a row. this game is sort of 2.5D, tilting the generic vertical shooter into a straightforward isometric shooter. the graphics are sort of a cross between 3D models and particle clouds. also, don't let the fire touch the bottom of the screen. a pretty awesome game download here.

this is another strictly boss fighting game. this game takes the reflection game mechanic and changes it a little. when you have reflection enabled, which you can tell by if you have two small squares in front of you, press z to reflect bullets that are close to the squares. depending on the level of boss you are fighting, the bullets may or may not reflect back. if you get hit, you will lose the reflection ability and revert to shooting bullet streams. if you get hit when you don't have reflection, you die. you only have one life, so use it well. download here.

todays feature is a fangame based on one of my favorite arcade shooters of all time, e.s.p. ra de. this game, called iloli, is a one level boss stage game, featuring the female character from e.s.p. ra de, against the final boss of the game. most of the gameplay mechanics have been eliminated, including secondary projectiles, and charge shot. mostly, you move your character and dodge bulleds, while firing a constant stream at the boss. its very simple, and is mostly cool because of its theme. the graphics are very similar to the origional gameboy, or rather the original wonderswan. still a nice solid game, and with four levels of difficulty, you can easily kill a few minutes. download here.
