Psyvariar

Helped define the 'pattern memory' style of shoot 'em up. Great for score attacks.

Dodonpachi

Manic is an understatement. Pattern shooting at an incredible pace.

Zero Wing

Hugely popular for 'that intro'. A clean and memorable shoot 'em up. Satisfying weapon upgrades.

Ikaruga

Brilliant scoring system, an intelligent and innovative shoot 'em up

Gradius V

Brilliant learning curve, flexible weapon upgrade system.

Progressive shoot 'em up heaven.

Zero Gunner

Innovative 'rotate on an axis' aiming style. speedy levels, great enemy design.

An oldy but a goody. If you can stand the terrible sprite flicker, underneath is a simple and fun game that is easy to score attack.
