What are your favourite shoot em or run and gun games?
I’ve always enjoyed playing games such as Gunbird and Metal Slug, both were on PS2 for me as my only proper exposure to those games. Really loved them!
What are your favourites? Any recommendations?

I like Xevious and Zaxxon. Zaxxon was cool because it had a unique isometric perspective that I haven’t seen in another game.
Gradius 3 specifically I found to be quite fun. Its too bad Konami retired the Gradius series, but I suppose its probably better that way.
The Panzer Dragoon series is a great arcade shooter series.
Contra. Contra 4 specifically on the Nintendo DS I felt had the perfect balance. I really liked that entry.
oooh those are bringing up some serious childhood arcade memories.
I loved Zaxxon! I gotta see if I can play that on PC.
