Astro Tripper PS3 Game Play and DJ mix

cool game, is this the music for the game, its nice

u make this join look easy!! its freaking adictive!! i'v watched this vid over 7 times strait!!!!!!!! 5 stars!

thx ima go buy this game

are there save points... I've played thru the first 3 levels with no save point in sight. Starting to get old playing the first two levels over and over.

I haven't played Astro Tripper for a while, but yeah the lack of save points does make it difficult!

Thunderforce 6 is a superb SHMUP game on PS2. One of the best ive ever played. Rtype final was by no means bad but i agree that it felt very lifeless.

Soldner X is a great game. I think everyone should buy games like this Trine, Braid and some of the better PSN exclusives so we get better content in the future.

Anyway, thanks to your vid DJAA, i got my hands dirty with some Stardust.. and im loving it.

Sometimes you just have to make do !

I loaded a Daft Punk soundtrack onto it and it makes the game that much better :D

I checked the JPN Psn store for some shmups, but it seems like there is nothing. Dam Xbox has now got a ridiculous collection on Live and because its taken off so well, the shmup companies are producing more for them.

And trhe 99 ships was very addictive and each ship did have a different ability.

But i think the point here is that these are different type of SHMUPS.

Astro Tripper here for example is just shoot and destroy, where the games i mention have layers.
But my point is that there are alot of good SHMUPS out there and PS3 owners seem to be missing out on them. These shoot and destroy games are OK but not half the fun and difficulty that Cave titles are for example.

That's true that PS3 is not getting the old shooters, but truth be told, any real NeoGeo fan will buy the AES/MVS carts, and any real CAVE fan buys the arcade motherboards and plays them on Super Guns or CABs. It's that simple.

Ports are great for kids that cannot afford the REAL DEAL, but for the rest of us those ports on 360 and Wii are worthless.If I get THAT desperate for a CAVE shmup ROM and I don't want to spend money, I will just download the ROMs for FREE and play them on my PC.

"Meh, any real CAVE fan owns them already on Arcade motherboards... nice try though."

What a plonker and what a ridiculous thing to say.

"R-Type Final was meh... It was a mediocre generic lifeless excuses for SHMUP"

I agree that it didn't have classic SHMUP written all over it but it was a well thought out little game. Its actually quite enigmatic, since you obtain different or secret levels by playing in a different style or in a different style with a different ship.
