So after a long break from Neo Geo, I am back to playing it regularly. I would really like to add some more shooters to my collection but don't want to spend over $50 (per game) at the moment. I have all the Metal Slugs, Shock Troopers 2, Blazing Star, and Sonic Wings 3. Thanks!
Best affordable MVS shooters?

Shock Troopers 1 for sure. The 2nd one is fun but ST1 is fucking badass. Pulstar, Viewpoint, Prehistoric Isle 2, Ghost Pilots are a few others that are good. Ninja Commando is another good title that doesnt get mentioned all the time.

ASO 2 for sure. Not sure how much the MVS version costs, but it cant be that much.
Nice old school shooter. At first I wrote it off as a spacey version of Ghost Pilots, but when I finally got it I realized it was better in every way possible. in fact, I prefer it to many of the more "high profile" shmups on the neo

Shock Troopers 2 would be nice it didnt have so much slowdow. The first one is much better IMO
I dont know what your budget it but Blazing Star is worth every penny. I find it more fun with the scoring mechanics over Pulstar.

Of course Strikers, Viewpoint, and PI2 are all great game, but these are out of the provided price range.
The only quality game remaining that you do not have that's at $50 or below is Aero Fighters 2. Cyber-Lip is not a shooter, it's an RGS, but definitely worthwhile at <$50.

Thanks for all the recommendations! 
I have been trying to get Pulstar, Strikers 1945, Shock Troopers, and Viewpoint for quite some time now but just cant find a price I am willing to pay. I will look into Zed Blade, Alpha Mission II, Sonic Wings 2, Ninja Commando, and Cyber-Lip though.
