Hi

I'm a bit out of touch with PC games but I really used to like the space 
shooters that were around in the 80s and 90s (eg R-Type, Salamander, 
Starfox and that excellent psuedo 3D one I can't remember the name of but 
paid Ł50 to import for the SNES!)

Have there been any decent space shoot-em-ups released in recent years - 3D 
or flat?

Thanks
Tim

Oops! Forgot to mention that I'm mainly interested in PC stuff, possibly 
Playstation 1.

Latest one I was looking after (T-Zwei) was by www.atlanteq.it  and never
found if they released it at all, there's demo floating around about that
and damn it's sweet :)   find that demo and play... reallygreat looking game
and brings back memories from old (1997 or so) game the Reap by housemarque
games, it really had also awesome gfx.  Strayfire was also nice, maybe
lacking on gfx department but grab demo of that in net also to try out...

http://www.classicgaming.com/shmups/   is good place to check out shoot'em
ups i think... but they are lacking pile of pc shooters, sadly...there's
some other shoot'em up sites (or used to be) but can't remember url...
