Seconding this + the Lethal Operation series is closest to a Shmup + RPG that isn't totally gimmicky. They're very obscure and JP only but recently got Steam releases. There's three games: Rugitta hen, Rei hen, and Lethal Arms of Justice. The last one has a weapon synthesis system that's purposely broken. Can be very fun

Cannot go wrong with Battle Garegga or the GG Aleste games on the Game Gear.
Both of these games got re-releases on the PS4, and were handled by M2.

Zero Wing, baby! Good shooter, fun intro. They released a version of this on steam that emulates the arcade version (I think) and cleans up/retranslates the intro, but you can't beat the original All Your Base Are Belong to Us.

I don't get comments, retention, nothing, a few comments from loyal subscribers and that's it.
I don't know how my channel keeps getting subs and survives but I refuse to change the style of videos I make because otherwise I just won't be able to express myself the way I genuinely want to. I don't do this for money and refuse monetization too.

Speaking of MUSHA, Robo Aleste is also a nice pick, does everything the first game does but it one ups in the presentation department, the intro cutscene is fully voiced, fully voiced cutscenes in 1992, how crazy is that!?

Really recommend GG Aleste 3 which can be played both in the recent M2 collection for Switch/PS4 and the game gear rom itself can be emulated. It’s a fantastic sequel to the game gear Aleste spinoffs and it’s honestly an incredible example of modern games made on old hardware (was developed and released for the first time in 2020)
Soundtrack itself is phenomenal too.

This blew my mind in 1992 and still does now. Should have set the standard for how a game of this genre should look and handle.
