Im really in the mood to play an oldschool one like Super earth defence force, what are your favourite side scrolling shooters?

One of the first SNES games I owned was Super R-Type. It's one of the better side-scrolling shooters I've played.

Great pics! The 2nd one from the top is R-Type, BTW... and the 4th from bottom! Maybe the 2nd one from top is something else

The second one from the top is not R-Type!
