Top 10 Scroll Shooter games

Scroll shooting is fun to play. There are so many good games on arcades and consoles that we can spent time to enjoy ourselves over 3 hours that we can't stop playing a great space shooter games. So now I'm going to make a Top 10 Scroll Shooter games that will deserves the number 1 best in history.

10 - Space Invaders

One of the biggest hit on 1970's. Taito dominating the first scroll shooter brought to the arcades systems.
Space Invaders is a addicting fun that you go and shoot the aliens, ha ha ha sick, I love the aliens characters in the group moving left and right all the way down. So it is hard to finish the game off cuz you can't stop keep playing over and over again, damn it's good. Is any idea how many levels are there? Who knows, just play the damn thing and have enjoy.

9 - Zero Gunner

Zero Gunner is superb game but why this game only on arcade expect the first two came on Dreamcast.
It has a great gameplay with awesome power ups, turning helicopter while locking on, 4 mission levels and 2 player co-op. Well the first game is fun on the arcade and so with the second game on the Dreamcast but the bad news is? Its only on japan, damn it Psikyo, you could have brought it on western release.

8 - Aero Fighters 2

If you like a Neo Geo classics games, so you will like a Aero Fighters 2. Video System made a great sequel to a great original on SNES. So you get to play as 8 characters with 8 or 9 levels. It has a great power ups with large bombs, shoots big laser, ninja star and bunch of more crazy stuff to shoot with, which is pretty damn cool. So this game is so damn great until the crappy N64 sequel came to ruined the great series by Video System, Damn.

7 - R-Type Leo

R-Type series is such a classic scroll shooter in 80's. back in 90's, Irem brought the great space shooter on arcades is R-Types Leo that never came on consoles. Damn it, this game has a awesome stages and best power ups. Do you know what's good about this game? It has a 2 player co-ops that previous consoles games don't have one. The boss levels is surely challenging fun. Irem you made such a great games here.

6 - U.N Squadron

Remember the Capcom's classics on SNES. U.N Squadron is the epic fun scroll shooting games. You get to play as 3 awesome pilot such as Shin with cool hairstyle, Mickey the blonde dude and Greg the beard guy. The SNES version features the improvements from the arcade version such as new weapons, extra life, extra levels and etc. It definitely has a best music track in the game, which Capcom has a such a great composer.
It considered to be hardest in the game but the only problem with the SNES version didn't have a 2 players co-op, WHAT!.

 
5 - Silpheed

We know the failures of SEGA CD lifespan in 1994, but not lot of SEGA CD games are bad, but there are some of the good ones. I've just found a another good SEGA CD games, which is a remade of classic PC space shooter Silpheed. Game Arts offers the great features for SEGA CD such as 3D polygon, which rendered the quality of the graphics. It definitely have a most epic soundtrack in the game, which makes the best music on SEGA CD. It has a challenging boss levels, which is seems fun to play. If you never played the Silpheed, which means you don't have a SEGA CD unless you own a SEGA Genesis or get it on emulator instead.

4 - Radiant Silvergun

Radiant Silvergun is badass. One of the Treasure's cult classics came on SEGA Saturn Japanese exclusives just before it came on worldwide for XBLA. So the gameplay has a unique controls to press two button together to shoot the different types of weapons with different directions which is quite kicking ass. 2 player co-op is considered to be fun to complete with your friends for help. The boss levels is just hard as hell this is why it so challenging fun. If you like a Treasure's games, you will like this.

3 - Ikaruga

    

















It's like Radiant Silvergun, but different space shooter. You got one weapon, change shields and 5 difficult levels = Awesome. Ikaruga is a deadly challenged space shooter with too many enemies shoots, so many bullets to avoid, and features with dangerous hazards in the stages. Damn it's so hard to complete, but thank god it has a 2 player co-op, which is no problem. It has a best graphics in the game with excellent visuals and animation design. The music is considered to be best soundtrack in the game. So this game is definitely must buy this.

2 - Gradius Gaiden

Konami, why the hell this game only releases in japan. This is one of my favourites Gradius games on PSX.
You can able to edit the power ups settings, which is promising enough to make the game more accurate and fun and it features with 2 player co-op that you don't need to have take turns like on previous games. The gameplay is fun with new style features power ups, epic stages and epic boss fights. The graphics is colorful for beautiful game design. Konami, just bring it on PSN will ya, fans needs it.

1 - Raiden: Viper Phase

 



















Seibu Kaihatsu made a Raiden series a masterpiece of the scroll shooter goes to Viper Phase only on arcade. This is definitely must play this, when you own mame 32 emulator. It has a huge power ups with so many bullets to shoot the crap of the enemies. The levels is awesome as ever with awesome boss fights and the thing like about the co-op is having a same weapons with too many bullets is mad as hell, yeah that's kick ass. It has a superb soundtrack, which makes a perfect soundtrack in the game. Why not play this shall we?.
