The Guardian Legend Shrine
Part of the network of the similarly venerable shmups.com, The Guardian Legend Shrine is nearly the ideal game shrine, a static site crammed full of screenshots, strategy tips, fan art and fiction, and generally just everything of interest to a fan of the NES game.

And now, a strange case of #retrogaming... in the #80s !!!

Exa Innova is an early Compile work made for Sony when they were just a freelancers.

The game has some early features they later used for #Zanac. This version is the #1988 re-release (yep, and they already called that RETROGAMING back then) found on Disc Station 15 magazine. This version had some improvements, but also a bug (now fixed) that prevented the game to be played on 8KB #MSX machines.

the #MSX had quite a few #SHMUPS, including a bunch of early #Konami, #Compile and #Falcom titles.

Some others you might like to try include:
- #Aleste 1 & 2, #AlesteGaiden
- #Gradius / #Nemesis (depending on the region) 1, 2 and 3
- #Parodius
- #SpaceManbow (there's also a pretty good #homebrew sequel #Manbow2)
- #Zanac, #ZanacEX
- #MKai's #Kyokugen & #PleasureHearts

Also worth mentioning is that the #MetalGearSolid series started on the MSX with #MetalGear and MG2: #SolidSnake
