    Had never heard of Crimzon Clover World Ignition before today (to be honest I never really paid much attention to dojin releases when my main computer was a Mac, for obvious reasons). But saw it for a fiver on Steam, and knowing nothing other than it being a bullet hell shooter, gave it a go.

    Must say I'm very impressed with it. Plays fantastically, and has a great 'arcade' look compared to some of the other indie shooters out there. It's one of the rare examples of a developer that isn't Cave getting the genre, and I look forward to figuring out its predictably mental scoring system in more depth.

    Crimzon clover is one of my fav shooters of the past 10 years i know the creator had another shooter in the works (with dragons i believe) but seems to have gone quiet on that

    Took a notion and popped a ton of shmups on my PSP Go.
    PC Engine Soldier compilation
    Twin Bee collection
    Salamander collection
    Strikers 2
    Sengoku Ace 3
    and a bunch of others.
    The PC engine collection is probably the most impressive, if only that the console was host to such fantastic games.

    Quite impressed by REVOLVER360 RE:ACTOR, despite the ****ty name :pac: Looks gorgeous and the revolving mechanic is a simple idea well implemented.

    Looks excellent! Are you going to paint and/or weather it? Probably a bit late for that now, but still it looks ace. Good job! :)

    Never thought about it just built it when I had a spare hour or so, I had never built anything like airfix as a kid. I might weather beat it at some stage :P

    Picked up Gunhound EX on Steam on sale for £2.20 this evening. Ended up playing for a few hours and I really like it despite a couple of glaring flaws (zero gravity, why!?) although thankfully they're few and far between.

    Astebreed and Revolver 360 are both on sale too, the former is definitely worth a look at.

    Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours coming to PS4, Vita and PC later this year. I adore the original PSP Dariusburst and can't wait to play the expanded version.

    Because it's a long weekend with the mother-in-law in town, and because a nice chap from the Shmups forum managed to get a video from his mate's arcade, I've been able to fix up Macross Plus in MAME.
    It was a broken mess visually, but I think it's practically 100% now:

    I was an active MAMEDev back in 2001-2003, but practically retired for the past decade.
    I did a bunch of stuff, mostly in conjunction with David Haywood/Haze, and mostly with a shmup or fighter/brawler angle: Psikyo (PS-1/2,3/5,4), Fuuki (FG-2/3), Super Kaneko Nova System, Jaleco MS32 were the main systems, and a bunch of odd bits and bobs (Nostradamus, Magical Cat Adventure), some protection stuff and things around the core.
    Not enough time nowadays...

    Cave's first Steam game is to be Mushihimesama which I'm extremely happy to hear. I've only played it briefly on PS2 and didn't have an NTSC or modded 360 to play it. I was expecting Futari but happy to be wrong :)
