I also have for a limited time, Twinbee Yahoo.

FTR, That offer is really just open to anybody.

Another shmup I seriously need to play is Ikaruga. I've always wanted to play this, especially since it's made by Treasure. If I ever get a 360, that's the 1st game I'm going to download.

Be aware that Parodius Collection is highly inaccurate to the original games. Every game has something changed in it. (Pisses me off)'

But it is worth it for direct access to the bonus stage of Parodius Da!, Gokujyou Parodius and Sexy Parodius with one touch access. Thats really the only reason I keep that game on my PSP.

Anyway, in no particular order:

• Darius Gaiden
• Twinkle Star Sprites
• Gradius III
• Gradius V
• Gradius Gaiden
• Gradius Rebirth
• X-Multiply
• Gokujou Parodius
• Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius
• G-Darius
• Space Invaders Extreme
• Trizeal

I was wondering when you'd post.

Still, if you can't wait, you could always find a copy of the Gamecube version of Ikaruga. Or just buy a dreamcast.

And how many of those games do we get? The shmups board has a very long winded guide on how to own a J-360. Thats how many of these games we DON'T get.
