I love my shmups.. I probably have more shmups for the Mega Drive/Genesis then any other game on that system!
But there are some others on different consoles that are just awesome.

So here are some of my favourites

Truxton
Steel Empire
Arrow Flash
Fire Shark
Air Buster
Space Mega force
Gynoug/Wings of Wor
Raiden Trad (MD/Gen)
Abadox
Gradius 2
Dragon Spirit: The New Legend
Einhander
Darius Twin

These are just some of my favourites, but I'm always looking for some new ones to try out and then buy...

What are some of your favourites that you just seem to always come back to? All consoles are allow!

I'm not into the genre too much, but I still play Einhander from time to time. Touhou games are fun too

I'm always looking for new ones, but the ones I've played recently are:

Ikaruga
Gundeadligne
Suguri/Sora/QP Shooting/etc
Warning Forever

Plus the new Touhou games are on Steam... I only bought Wily Beast and Weakest Creature so far

It's hard to find good ones these days

My favourites are 1943: Battle of Midway (NES) and Twin Eagle (NES, not good/guilty pleasure)

Plus there's Thunder Spirits on the SNES... a shmup I play when I'm miserable and want other people to be miserable too.

EDIT: Raptor: Call of the Shadows was one I played a lot, but it did NOT age well. There was also Novastorm which is still balls hard. Plus the Apogee Major Stryker was fun.

Fantasy Zone tops the list for me, purely for sentimental reasons. It was the first game I ever played, way back in the day.

Beyond that, Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun are both pretty swank. I also appreciate me a good Touhou game now and again.
