The best shmup on the Genesis is not

Thunder Force 3
Thunder Force 4
Eliminate Down
Musha Aleste
Gaiares
Fire Shark
Twinkle Tale
Gley Lancer

It's none of those.

The best shmup on the Genesis is Steel Empire.

Also, your "I'm better than you" list didn't include Biohazard Battle. Troll harder.

Also also, "Thunder Force 4" never appeared on the "Genesis." Only the "Megadrive." You should have said "Lightening Force." So, y'know. Semantics.

How can you call TF4's soundtrack awesome without acknowledging TF3's also being excellent?

Also, a balls out shred-tastic metal cover? Maaaaaaan. That shit's so done to death for EVERY GOOD VIDEO GAME SONG EVER that it's more challenging and impressive to find a solid vg cover that ISN'T balls out shred-tastic metal.

I'm not sure anyone was saying anything was wrong with it.

But back in topic:
Thunder Force IV / Lightening Force and Gley Lancer are my two go-to's right now.

I'll give Steel Empire another shot, but it didn't grab me the way other shmups have last time I tried it.

I'd normally agree with you about metal but Thunder Force's soundtrack is deliberately metal as fuck. I mean listen to bass imitating a drum line.
That S.S.H. cover is the best version of the song. It's not the typical 'injecting metal into everything'. It's a metal cover of a metal in the first place song.

TF3's compositions are less intricate and more technically primitive than TF4's, but much more enjoyable. It's my favorite MD/Genesis shmup soundtrack.

Word. Steel Empire is probably the best shooting game on the Genesis.

The only thing I hear people complain about it is that you fight some of the bosses twice.

But that's standard fare for a console game of that time. Even something like Super Aleste has multiple repeating bosses.

TF4 is a very fitting soundtrack for metal covers. I just heard the extended wankery in the intro and my eyes automatically rolled.

The rest of it's spot on and totally tits.

Fuck off. Anyone who played more than two shmups knows Musha is nothing special and doesn't deserve an ounce of the praise it gets. Go play a real shmup like Zero Wing before you praise that garbage one more time and hopefully you'll realize how much of a fool you are.

Lightening is a present participle corresponding to the verb lighten, where to lighten is to make light or lighter. For example, we might say that a person who has been losing weight is lightening, or that an aging man's hair is lightening to gray.

Don't tell us. Tell the people who made that name change from Thunder Force 4 to "Lightening Force." That's seriously how it's spelled on the box and title screen.

It's a Lightening Force. It Lightens things......... apparently.

But... I emulated it over a decade ago, and kinda liked it just because it was a Genesis shmup I hadn't played yet. Had no clue it was rare back then.

I understand how opinions work. Really. But let's be real for a second. There are far, FAR worse shmups than MUSHA that have garnered praise.

I'm not OP

Steel Empire has it all.

First of all, play it on

Hard mode.

More enemies.

and enemies

Take more damage.

This game has great balance

and a lot of variety.

That stage 2 cave scene

Is one of the highpoints of shmups

Even though

some bosses are recycled.

their attack patterns are different

or they're upgraded in some way

You like barrels, m8?

well, the 2nd train boss got barrels

You like?

Play it on hard. Great game. 10/10

The best Genny Shmup is obviously Thunder Force IV

2nd best is Steel Empire.
