My having significant problems with R-Type seems pretty embarassing now.

The more I watch them, the more I'm realizing that once you master that "one pixel is all that matters" deal, it really isn't as intemadating as it looks.

I watched a lot of different ones, and don't get me wrong, it looks damn hard. I just remember thinking at first you'd have to get your entire ship through that when in reality, it's just one pixel.

I don't even know what I'm looking at there.

Actually, that doesn't look as bad as the secret final boss of Imperishable Night or most of the later bosses in Vanishing Point.
Bullet Hell is something there's a lot of out there, it just doesn;t migrate over to the west much.
Take a look at the Touhou games sometime.

Bullet Hell? That's a pretty good description of a game in which 99% of the screen is covered in enemy projectiles. Someone should turn these boss battles into screen savers.

That's because it's the standard name for such shooters. They're a whole little sub-genre of their own.

I'm far from an expert in shmups but I do have a soft spot for them. Which one was it that let you briefly suck up Bullet Hell and unleash it back on the enemy, Giga Wing? That was fun.

I'm hardly any good at them, though. Ikaruga for Gamecube sits eternally on my shelf, mocking me.
