Deathless1CC of this run and gun developed and released by Data East (deco) in 1987.
Not particularly difficult, there are a couple of nasty checkpoint in the last two stages to keep in mind,
it's important getting used to the Gradius-like power up system for a smooth run.
Many sources says that this game was the main inspiration for the first Turrican on C64.
I played on Wolfmame 0.264 w/o autofire.

One loop clear of this horizontal shmup (MSX2 exclusive)
developed by Konami in 1989,
and later re-released on Nintendo virtual console, should have been
a port of arcade Thunder Cross but became its own original title,
still considered part of the TC series.
I played on BlueMSX emulator, configured with msx turbo R machine,
and used a rom patched with turbo fix (written by sd_snatcher)
that make the game run smoother with no slowdown and
fix stage 7 boss bug that prevented the spawn of blue ball.
Game is relatively easy compared to Gradius series but
has its own difficulty spikes like the fixed stage 7 boss (i died alot there)
and some very bad placed checkpoints, also the lack of slowdown
make some stages less manageble because of sniping bullets.

No death clear of this vertical shmup developed by Capcom and published in 1992
on arcade and later on consoles, more recently on pc.
Various element of gameplay come from 19xx series, infact i consider Varth part of the series,
or at least a spin off set on another planet (Varth) 700 years later.
This game is also known for Ryus cameo, in addition to various others (Yashichi, Mobi chan, etc..).
I did a podless run for scoring (50K for every stage w/o pods) and i used a bomb macro
to quickly refill bombs. This macro consist in 30Hz autofire on direction down,
this because in this game ship movements recharge bombs,
most of highscore run (including wr) use this even if it feel like a tool assisted.
I did this run on Wolfmame 0.264 with 30Hz autofire and the above mentioned macro.
For a more skillfull run (with manual bomb recharging)
go check DGNs run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0z5O1gu3_I&t=2580s
done on Japan version (with checkpoints).
