Top 50 Vertical Shmups for your MAME Cabinet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 січ 2017
- Note: Vertical in this instance merely refers to the aspect ratio,and not necessarily the direction of movement in the game.
This list is merely my opinion. There are many games out there,and we all have our personal preferences. This is mine.
In order to make this list,the games must follow two simple rules...
1#They must be fully playable on your average MAME cabinet,and must not require any special controls or extra equipment.
2#They must closely resemble the arcade game style as much as possible,therefore RPG's (Chrono Trigger,Final Fantasy,etc.) and some Action Adventure games with higher RPG aspects (Zelda,Actraiser,etc.) do not qualify.
I do not own the rights to the characters, music, or footage used in this video,nor do I claim to.They belong to their respective owners.
That's it folks...hope you enjoy. Leave a comment and subscribe for more content in the future!

Missing many of the top games but for someone who already has a decent amount of knowledge it's a good list to acknowledge some lesser knowns
great list, surprised to see no cave games :)
Thanks! This was very helpful.
You have earned a like and a subscribed for putting a list!
Really well made list here man.
4:04 thanks, gunlock looks cool, hope it works on my legends ultimate arcade cabinet.
Damn. So that's what HOTDOG STORM looked like :D
Cool overlay, but I'd rather see the games more clearly...
Looks cool, but the scanlines should be running vertically (I.e. across the CRT, which is supposed to be on its side). Could do with more brightness, but otherwise a great shader set up.
Hellll yeah!!! So much awesomeness!!
Strong opening. After all Air Gallet "blows your socks off!"
I been looking for Gunlock for years and thx to you i find it
@r33mote so much thanks for this man
Mmmmm....Cyvern and Hot Dog Storm! :)
Impresionante listado de Shoot em' ups de arcade, entre los que mas destacan estan; el Raiden, Sonic Wing, 1943 Battle of Midway, en fin, juegazos que no pueden faltar en tu coleccion personal. :)
Awesome CRT shader! I'm subscribing you now.
I like the way the player sometimes dies in the video can’t stand only super humans playing these games.
Good list with a few I wasn't aware of and will be checking out, thanks for your hard work showcasing them! In my opinion many mediocre-at-best games occupy spots that would go better to neglected fan-favorites like::
ESP Ra De, Donpachi, DoDonpachi, Ikaruga, Giga Wing 1+2, Muchi Muchi Pork...
But of course opinion is all a list like this or a comment on it is so I'm not judging just putting my 2c in :P
Thanks...gigawing is on here (edit: not here,but on the horizontal shmup video i made),but gigawing 2 and ikaruga were just placed on my dreamcast list and I try to avoid being repetitive if possible.
That's weird about Gigawing, I didn't notice it / it doesn't come up when I search on your list? Makes sense with the others you mentionned and of course personal preference accounts for the rest :P
Good channel though, I've been checking out your vids, am into it and subbing, once again kudos
yeah,i released a video for 4:3 aspect shmups the same time as this one,and GW is on that one,sorry.I placed an edit on the first reply.Thanks for the sub!
thanks for the list! found a while bunch of interesting titles. also have the conplete cave system as a whole in my setup so I just add the extra MAME ones (also leaving neogeo titles for the same reason) thanks again. Love these vids
I was sure the 1st one was going to be Space Invaders!
Can you tell me whats the game in the thumbnail?
@@HaZiqGD Ask to the channel owner.
@@PONTOCRITICO i dont think he will reply as u can see the other comments from long ago didnt get noticed
@@PONTOCRITICO and plus the game in the thumbnail is my wonder to my childhood
@@HaZiqGD Sorry, but I don't know these planes...
Dodonpachi ?
you should check out viper phase 1 , its a really good shmup
Checked it...Loved it....thanks for the recommendation!
I need this games in my life😃
great games. Outzone (MAME/Arcade/Toaplan/1990)
I'm guessing the "fully playable" rule stopped you from playing all the CAVE shooters ;-)
There are no Cave games on here though :(
Man that bezel is sick, can you share
Sky Adventure houd fit here perfectly.
Where are Cave games ?
im looking for a shooting game that has a wave and bomb power up or charge ( i cant remember exactly ) the background was like in space . and the bullets are like big white eggs simillar to batsugun
What was that SHMUP that's like radar scope but had bosses and you have a consumable shield?
22.Sonic Wings Limited
& 08.Aero Fighters Special are the same game in different countries
Conngrats brother, great video and great selection!! I will definitely add some of the games here to my hyperspin xml. Can you pleeease share your Vertical and Horizontal bezel for the shumps? and also your MAME HLSL settings ini? I would love to have the same look you got here! many thanks
Why? Dull blurry and hard to see, I want it!
I played most of these in the arcades. Started with moon cresta and galaxian. I tried revisiting using Mame on my PC. I still want the arcade experience :(
lograste jugar en mame ??
find a plane shooting game
Description: vertical screen, dropping bombs is a large circle assembled from many small circles, when Player 2 drops bombs together, they combine to form a large electric circle. Regarding ammo, there is one that when upgrading the last bullet will shoot out like a cloud, but around that cloud there is a blue line that bends around like dragons hugging that pillar and chasing the enemy. The bullets fired are exactly the same as the Dogyuun game, but the graphics are better
Too many companies made too many good shmups in the late 70s to late 90s. It's so hard to keep up with all of them. Nonetheless this is a really good list.
please help me, I'm looking for a game, I played the computer in the years 2008-2011, the genre of shoot em up, the horizontal shooter graphics was good, in 3d there was pro helicopters, their models were very many, also the first boss was a yellow slow tank with a lot of guns , I just can not find, that's all I remember, help!
I love Phelios
No CAVE games at all? 🤔
can you help me ? i forgot name of the game ... the game has 2 shoting option ( holding and tapping ) , 3 planes , the theme is in space .. if u know pls repl this :)
I'm looking for one of airplanes, which had a music very similar to guns and roses
I am also trying to identify a game. I thought it might have been on this list. I know it is a vertical shmup and the first level is in the desert (I think). One thing that I really enjoy about this mystery game is how it scrolls the entire level either before or after you play it (I forgot which it was). It also has like ruins or something. I thought I found it on this list a while back. Can anyone help?
Hopefully you've figured this out already but if not, it sounds like Legendary Wings
Do anyone now a vertical shmups that is raiden-ish,
but when hold down on the shoot button it deploy a polygon cone, and enemies scanned by it will get barraged by missiles/laser
played it around early 2000, but couldnt find it anymore :(
Layer Section/Galactic Attack or Soukyugurentai or Macross Plus
I can't remember the name of this game... It was a vertical shmup where you piloted a typical plane. It allowed you to fly around the screen, not just left and right (but you always automatically faced and progressed upwards). The main menu was a golden color. You could get upgrades and powerups, like a ball that orbited you. There were stages, and occasional bosses, one of which was a spider. I think it breathed fire. The background was black I believe, and it wasn't one of the ones with large, over the top explosions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Time Pilot ???
Is it Gemini Wing?
Where is Arbalester & Terra Force? my favorite shmups games
Te han faltado: Terra Cresta, Terra Force, Slap Fight, Plus Alpha, Star Soldier, Formation Z, Geminis Wing, y un largo etc...
Slap Fight el nro 1 en mi ranking personal
I try to find one vertical arcade game that There was a yellow air or space ship Shot air and ground same time. When it Shot the ground base, it would be an upgrade for the ship in base. Ship upgraded to Red robot at the end. I need to find this game 😭
Sounds like an 80s game I was looking for.
hi admin, i'm forget title game plane(vertical), do you know game plane with features like this :
1. Only 2 plane in select player.
2. plane not death if touch with enemy.
3. there are only 2 types of shots, 1 spreads up, 2 circles around the plane then up.
4. stage 1 on earth(jungle), stage 2 on space
maybe you mean acrobat mission, this game found in mame2003plus or snes
Describe all bosses.
Strange, cave shmup are on mame for me
Nearly Everone knows about those, glad for once to have a full list with something different
Who can help me to find the name of this game? it´s a vertical shooter, your ship is like a living insect and your enemies are insect like too.
Help?
Im trying to find an arcade game from the 90s I believe.
My memory fades when looking so much back in time, but I think it featured multiple selectable characters, each one with its own airplane.
The special thing about it was that, some poweups would make armor-like wings to attach to your plane.
Each armor would grant a different fire/weapon style, and there were multiple armors too.
Ring any bells?
Its B-wings from nes nintendo
@@dotawithkoko it´s not it, unfortunately...
but thanks anyway. I haven´t mentioned it in the description, but it´s an arcade machine game, not a console one.
@@takezomiyamoto1390 im gonna upload all vertical shoot em ups on my channel ull find that game there soon channel name GameBermuda
Need help to find the name of a verticale scooter... Years

I am happy that I didnt see any Cave
You got some real hidden gems in there, I actually added at least 15 new games from the list in my vertical cabinet. That being said, the list is seriously flawed. First there's not even one cave shmup. Maybe you should retitle the video "top non cave shmups if you don't like em because they're definitely expected on a shmup list. Also a few games are not shmups. Amazon Girl for example is more run 'n gun than shmup, and if you include those you would need to add games like Ikari Warrior, Gun Smoke, etc. And finally there are many notable omissions, even considering your personal preferences. For example, you seem to like Psykio shmups like Dragon Spirit and Gunbird, but you didn't include the most popular and better ones, like Striker 1945. Anyway good effort, but it needs a bit of refining.
Imagine not putting a single Cave game, when they created the most influencial shmups ever. Who could forget that FUN and INNOVATIVE experience of Raiden, right ... ? Right ?
What is your hardware system?
My cabinet? Nothing super...just an i3 with 16gb of ram (for pc games) and a 1050gt. I would love to upgrade some,but,atm the only problems I have are occasional stutters in dolphin. It does the job for now.
Faltou o *Dodonpachi,* o melhor jogo shmup vertical de todos!!!
Good joke
So cool, thanks. OpenEmu is the best and best looking.
Thank you so much, I love Mazinger Z, like Raiden, it's not a fair bullet hell like Bug Princess whereby you die every 2 seconds, the ship's slow, the hit box is large, the screen narrow (it's definitely for the arcades- a coin guzzler, lol). I love Mazinger Z anime.
God bless, Proverbs 31
I m looking for car 🚘 with weapon like jumping get wings and shreeder saw like
😍😍😍
Anyone know a steampunk shmup from late 80's or early 90's, wich faced biplanes against zeppelins and other WWI - like, aircraft? I can't find it on any list.
Sounds like Steel Empire
Thanks, I took a look but it's not Steel empire. It was a scroll up.
Double Wings?
@@RiddlerOnYutube No, thanks. The closer I found was Sky Adventure, but still I don't think it was really it!
Boogie Wings aka The Great Ragtime Show
Phoenix?
damnall of these were so identical couldn't spot a unique one that caught my interest
Falta Radiant Silvergun
Nice overlay, but your scanlines aren't vertically oriented.
Your setup looks nice but a capture card would be nicer, we don't see shit
Dodonpachi ??????
Sorry man, the screen with the games on it (the only part of the screen anyone cares about) is 10 shades darker than everything else. live and learn.
I do appreciate you listing the game names in the video and in the description. time stamps for each game would be great!
he went too far on the hlsl settings xD
Im looking for a game where you control a worm its a shmup
closest I know of is Sylvalion...but,that's a dragon
Dragon Breed?
@@RiddlerOnYutube yes this one! Thanks
Wait i said worm? lol im high
I was hoping to find a ship game where the graphics were very realistic for the time, I remember shooting upwards and where the final bosses were motherships. From time to time some metallic camels would appear in the middle of the screen, you had to shoot them and then a helicopter would appear that would launch a parachute and when you caught it, it would shoot a green laser.
The ship could become invisible to dodge the bullets and in the last final stage, there were some Moais that you had to shoot at their eyes. It was one of the best games I had the luck to play...
If anyone knows the name of this game I would be very grateful.
Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) Thank you very much.
probablemente sea un parodius a juzgar por la descripcion
Can't see 👀
🕹️
I'd personally have _Raiden II_ as #2 and _Dogyuun!!_ as #1.
Raiden 2 is one of my favs, same for Dodonpachi and 19XX. Air Gallet is not that bad either.
And nobody like Varth...
The list is very good but the video quality is terrible.
Eres español??
You just don't get it.
You fool he wants it to look like the arcade version which uses crt monitors,so he enable scanlines.
@@frankisback774 and overlays.
Who can help me to find the name of this game? it´s a vertical shooter, your ship is like a living insect and your enemies are insect like too.
@Sean Wilkinson Thanks but it's not the one I'm looking for, I remember that from the beginning your ship was a kind of insect, I also remember that the first area was a forest or a jungle.
@@Cypunk any rough idea of the date (mid 80's, late 80's. 90's etc...) ?
@@madajas6100 must be mid 90s
