Ikaruga was the first schmup i really got into, it was the reason i put a VGA socket on my DC, it was the reason i made an arcade stick. I really love this game, although it obviously hates me as it beats me down everytime.

That said, i found Chu Chu Rocket still in a DC i bought from eBay for £6. I played it and got bored, quickly. Then i played multiplayer and the game rocks! this game defines frantic party game.

Ikaruga for me, the game owns, literally! Incase anyone don't know there is a homebrew version of Chu Chu Rocket for the Atari St.

Ikaruga all the way baby!

Wonderful in all aspects, beautiful and yes it beats me down too.

Unlocking unlimited credits helps you see it all but it's really tough.

it has to be ikaruga, treasure rock. its a shame that chu chu will be knocked out so early (if it is), it is a great party game (but very sore on the old head)

They're both great puzzle games but I have to go with Ikaruga for its originality.

PS: A better poll would be Ikaruga and Twinkle Star Sprites since they're both shooter puzzlers.

It's a random draw, part of a knockout to find the best DC game. Theres a stickied topic in this board. I've never heard of Twinkle Star Sprites, was it released in PAL land? ot NTSC only?
