Don't feel bad about that. Most of the "Touhou fanbase" doesn't play them either.Touhou. Even though I've never tried one.
How could you make a poll like this and not include Ikaruga, or Ketsui, or Radiant Silvergun, or Gradius 5, or Raiden DX?
You dropped the ball big-time.

agreed, einhander is a good game, the presentation being the best part of it. the only gripe i have with the game is that when ever there's a top 5/10 best shmups of all time list, einhander always makes it on there some how.
None of those are overrated. Pulstar is high level rote memorization and very well made for the time it was released. I imagine it would bore most Wii-era gamers to tears. It isn't gorgeous and it isn't easy if you only try it half a dozen times. You have to be a fan of early 90's horizontal shooters and if you are; this is one of the better ones.
Pulstar is definitely underrated. It's a very good take on the "slow meticulous" subgenre that has largely gone away. Most people give up and move onto Blazing Star, which is a shame. Although with that said, I still think R-Type, R-Type 2 and Super R-Type are better than Pulstar.
Ikaruga, because I suck at it. My inefficient brain can't handle the constant switching.
