The 1CC Dream List

This year I think instead of blinding picking random shmups in finalburn, I'll finally attempt some 1CCs and test my supposed favorites. I'll try to keep this list handy as inspiration, and maybe I'll learn to record shit so I can upload these if I do happen to achieve during my boring hours.

Limiting strictly to ten to keep this focused.

Gradius: The Interstellar Assault

Already well on my way with this one, it's a very comfy playthrough.
Super R-Type
Super R-Type
The only R-Type exception I'm making, because I've played this thing so much that I could probably beat it while suffering from multiple migraines stacked on top of each other as some asshole blares a trombone at me.
Granada

atm I can only beat it with lives maxed out in the options, but I was totally improving when I was replaying this a bunch last year.
Sol-Feace

Another childhood shmup like Super R-Type, but nowhere as familiar with it.
Einhänder

It's been a long ass time since I gave it an honest playthrough in general, but why not?
Mercs

I swear I once did this way back on Capcom Classics Collection, I spammed this game nonstop for the music back then.
1941: Counter Attack
1941: Counter Attack
Same as Mercs.
Bio-Hazard Battle

The sound design of this game goes way too hard.
Thunder Force III

I always rec'd this as a beginner shmup, so lets see if my advice was worthwhile or a load of shit.
Space Manbow

Honestly depends on how much I actually enjoy using the MSX2 emulator I was using, because otherwise maybe I'll look into playing the JP Virtual Console version instead or something.
