Here's the horizontal version of my best bosses poll. The winning game will get its own poll for best boss in the game- and that best boss will square off with the best vert boss.
Poll's open for 30 days- and three maximum votes no changing.
I forgot to list R-Type Complete CD- doesn't matter though- same as R-Type practically no? I would have combined those votes anyway.
Yeah, as far as bosses are concerned they are identical.
Hey, Parodius is getting some love! :D
Deep Blue- hahaha... Nat did you pick that one? =;
I'll be scared if any of the Cho Aniki games win the poll. :|

No, but I know who did. And I actually was on the verge of picking it, and only didn't because it's lacking in actual quantity of bosses.
I voted-
Super Darius
Super Darius II
Forgotten Worlds
Do mini-bosses count? Super Darius II's mini-bosses beat most other shooters' end bosses.
Any side scrolling shooter that ends in a sword fight(easy i know) has to get my vote.
Spriggan II
Quote from: natNo, but I know who did. And I actually was on the verge of picking it, and only didn't because it's lacking in actual quantity of bosses.
So, who did vote for Deep Blue? I've got a new 50 caliber rifle that is begging for a field test. :D
Yeah I'd say mini-bosses count- as Soldier Blade's final boss appears in some levels as a mini-boss...

Dead Moon
Lord's of Thunder
Terraforming
Dead Moon's turtle and various skeletal birds, dinosaurs, etc. are just surreal. I'm not sure what they have to do with an alien invasion, but they're cool as hell nonetheless.
I voted Winds/Lords of Thunder. That game blew me away when I first bought it! I laughed when I looked at my SNES while I was playing Lords of Thunder. That game was fairly easy though on Normal mode. Play it on Hard without buying any power ups. There's a nice challenge for ya!
@Necromancer: I loved Dead Moon's bosses. I still think it's a great shooter that doesn't get enough recognition.
No saint dragon?

Why should anyone vote for that one? I don't recall it having anything all that special, but please show me the light. :-k
Saint Dragon is in the poll- it's listed as Tenseiryu/Saint Dragon. Necro's right though- the game is a wet dog.

oh duh i cant read.
Why is it a wet dog
I voted AirZonk, Lord of Thunder, and R-type! AirZonk for its bright, fast, colorful, and innovative boss fights! Lords of Thunder because its bosses are just plain cool! R-type for the same reason as LoT; that level 1 boss was the coolest back in the day.
Why is Wonderboy on here? :-k It may be a side-scroller but it's no shooter.
It has flying shooting segments every level- so it's half a shooter- and the non flying parts can ALMOST be considered shooter levels themselves- they're run and gun with forced scrolling.
I had to go with Dead Moon, LoT, and Fantasy Zone. Dead Moon is #1, obviously. :)
right sini, therefore it is in there. and thererfore it is considered as one of the 110 official and tatsujin aproved shoot'em ups :D
