Bullet hell hard as nails before that genre was even a thing floating around, one of the BEST ps1 soundtracks ever assembled and decent replayability, this was ps1 at it's best!
Awesome soundtrack, slick presentation, and neat ideas/iteration on the genre. Nearly impossible to legally acquire nowadays, having something like this become accessible on PC would be great step up for shmup games.

ONE OF A KIND classic bullet hell, incomparable to anything you have seen - both in its DESIGN and MECHANICS. Very enjoyable and memorable game, once you play it, you'll never forget it. You won't find it nor hear it anywhere nowadays, yet there are many votes - because it's a very niche yet pure fun game.

TOP 10 PS1 games ever! ill gladly drop 60$ for this on gog. THE MUSIC ALONE WAS AWSOME!!!! to this day i listen to this games music and i still own my OG COPY! man do i miss playing this. 60$ for this is a good deal to me for this is the best shooter i have ever played. The art and style of this game was so good and i still love the neon lights in the first level.
One of the best Shoot'em ups (this is not an Bullet Hell) ... Anyway this is one of a kind, Great level design, awesome soundtrack, a lot of secrets (a lot) and alternative routes inside stages that leads you to harder end level bosses, You'll find yourself playing this game over and over again.
This shooter slapped on the PS1. Music was amazing, also the creativity using whatever weapon(s) you want making it even more fun. Would love to see this game in its glory in 4K, hopefully widescreen.
Those games also need your vote!

The Nazi invasion is in full swing, and you're the Lieutenant who's going to put a stop to it. Step into the shoes of Lt. Jimmy Patterson once again, sweeping across Europe to rescue the innocent and destroy the opposition. The 15 assignments range from saving captured OSS operatives from a Nazi-held Dutch manor house to dismantling a German naval base. Of course, all of the action takes place in detailed 3D; featuring some of the more amazing graphics you'll ever lay eyes on. Your job is a little too tough for any one man to pull off on his own, so you'll have a loyal group of soldiers and a slew of weaponry including the Liberator Pistol, Panzerschreck, MG42, and B.A.R. all of which will come to your aid in the heat of battle. Divided into five main missions, the gameplay is extensive and meticulously constructed, resulting in an experience that trumps earlier series installments.
