Why does /vr/ think retro gaming peaked with shmups, and shmups peaked with Thunder Dragon 2?

??? Your inquiry makes no sense.
Gaiares is the peak of shmups, everyone knows this.
>>
>>12302196
that's fake news
it's not even "number one" console shmups.
>>
I just hope 1 player sees this thread and tries out TD2, and their life will improve, at least their gaming life will.
>>
>>12302279
hello. do i need to play thunder dragon 1 to enjoy 2?
>>
>>12302353
Yes and don’t forget about the spinoff Saint Dragon
>>
>>12302353
Go straight to TD2.
This isn't an rpg series, it's actually a good game.
>>
This is literally casting pearls before swine, as the good book says. /vr/ doesn't get shmups
>>
pre final boss section is peak ludo
>>
I like the funny voice acting

>>12302234
Gaiares is really, really good. One of the hardest shmups I have ever played but if you can get past that it is top tier. Also if you play that game you really need to check your set up for lag because it really was designed to run on a CRT. Bullet and enemies move fast, enemies and bosses are either large sprites or move close to you reducing reaction time even more.
>>
>>12302353
Not at all, although I still do recommend checking out TD1 at some point. Maybe it's the stockholm syndrome talking but I think it's great.

If they are so simple why are you so irremediably shit then?
>>
>>12302279
played a couple credits of this and so far it's pretty good, gonna give more time tomorrow. For a game from 1994 it's very polished.
>>
>>12303826
Enjoy, let us know if you make progress in it.
I did a 1CC years ago, now going for a higher score.
>>
>>12302174
If you like dadshmups then Thunder Dragon 2 is top 3 for sure.
>>
Does anything know a 90s-era dos or ported-to-dos shmup where the first boss is a flying saucer with a hatch that opens intermittently and you have to shoot a missile into to kill?
I played it as a kid and can't find it for the life of me now.

Peaked? Oi, bruv. It's too much, innit?

Gonna go throw me dahts. Gotta get some bullseyes, yeah? Then it's back to the homestead for some cheeky granny toes. Happy days, lads.

>>12304103
distinguish dadshmup from shmup
>>
>>12308048
I pray chav is ok and God brings him back to the shmup community, amen.
