One game I haven't seen mentioned here was Ikaruga. It was a top down shooter from Japan. Like many shooters, you fought your way through hordes of enemies and boss battles. You of course could upgrade your arsenal along the way by collecting powerups. One innovative gameplay mechanic was the firing mode: you would fire either white or black bullets. When you were firing white bullets, white enemy bullets and projectiles could not harm you. The reverse was also true.
Really fun game!

- nanna 5y agoIkaruga was great, however it was effectively Treasure's sequel to its imo greatest game, Radiant Silvergun for the Sega Saturn, which sadly never made it out of Japan. Best game of the 32bit generation, maybe best bullet hell ever. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wue0F5YyeEQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Wue0F5YyeEQ
- fabiensanglard 5y agoIkaruga belongs in the hall of fame. Not only mechanics are well researched, the execution (the engine) was breathtaking at the time. When I visited Japan in 2019, I visited all arcades in Akihabara until I found ONE cabinet running it. It was magical.
