I'm sure he's referring to Galaga type games.

I don't have a all-time favorite really, but one that's fairly new and pretty good is Warblade.

WTF are you, 13?

Old school, you and a partner in two planes/choppers/spacecraft, blowing the everloving crap out of whatever stands before you. Aka Shoot-Em-Ups, or more simply "Shmups".

I'm going to have to say Raiden II for the win.

I remember this one. It was pretty cool. Anyone know where I can get a copy, and will it run on XP?

Try The-Underdogs or other abandonware sites. Don't know about running on XP though.
