Are there any games like Terra Cresta where you pick up parts of your ship along the way and it increases your firepower? Not just 1 part of the ship I mean like 4 additional parts.

Terra Cresta used to be my favourite shootemup. Have u played the sequel? I didn't really like it, it's different to first game. It has horizontal scrolling parts as well as vertical scrolling parts.

Ya I did. I didn't like it either. It lost it's feel the original had.

Terra Cresta II is quite good, good fun if you like the original. It's a PC-Engine exclusive game though. For PCB's UFO Robo Dangar is good old school fun.

I thought it was an arcade game (Terra Force)? Is the PC Engine version a port?

You gain a lot of power by leveling up about once per level in Batsugun.

How about Dragon Spirit (Namco System 1, 1987)? It's not a ship per se, but the power up mechanic sounds similar, and it's a great vertical shmup.

Magmax. You build a robot around your ship by collecting the corresponding parts, which gives you more firepower and endurance. This is a horizontal shump though.

There is also Terra Cresta 3D for the Sega Saturn, but it's not very good (from the internet reviews I've read).
