Where you basically felt out of body as you miraculously dodged impossible bullet hells as you rained havok on the bad guys?

Iirc I've never even played one of these. The first one I actually played through was radiant silvergun this year and I basically had to cheese it. I don't have the patience to retry something 8000 times and don't have the skill to do it in 1 or 50 or 100. I didn't in the 90s either. I mean I'll replay a section but not an Entire Game. Fuck Roguelikes btw.

IIRC there are only a few true shmups on the Saturn, kinda paltry selection IMO. The SNES, PS1 and PS2 had far more per system IMHO.

Yep once in 2nd grade I got snowed in at a relative’s house and played Contra for 12 hours straight with my Down syndrome cousin. Felt like I truly got on his level by the end of it IME
