I've put some time in on this lately and I'm not up on what's "hip" or technically difficult in the shmup realm.

I'm a big fan of this one... anyone else?

Armed Police Batrider is the best shmup I've played to date. Everything from the smooth controls to the simply amazing soundtrack are perfection personified.

I really wish Batrider didn't have a totally bonkers persistent rank system. It's no fun to have to wait through several loops of attract mode in order to play at minimum rank.
