Recently I’ve been looking into expanding the number of shmups in my library.

Which games should I prioritise getting? Any that I should avoid?

    @bbbhltz , it is my favourite CAVE game so far.

    That said, personally I am not willing to pay that much for a STG (sorry). But I know others would and do pay even more for a PCB of it.

    It is a very quality game and has several modes. If that is worth it for you, it’s up to you.

    Several other Cave games (and Crimzon Clover, which is not by Cave, but like a spiritual successor) have similar modes, so perhaps try one of those first.

      I was thinking of getting it, trying it, and holding onto it to resell. But, someone might be able to talk the seller down. Judging by the other items they are selling, not just games, it looks like this person caught the “import stuff from abroad” bug and it now unloading loads of merch at rather high and prices. I’m not going to barter though since it is available on play-asia for less.

        @bbbhltz, that’s always an option, yes. I did that with a few other games. I remember Teslagrad not being my jam.

        I only have Sine Mora and Pawarumi physically from STGs and am fondly keeping both :)

        @bbbhltz Oh, I forgot to mention, the M2 (esp. ShotTriggers) ports of other Cave games have more bells and whistles than the more basic Live Wire port of Mushihimesama. Still a perfectly fine port.
