Top 5ive SEU craft
Shoot 'Em Ups thrive on big explosions, even bigger guns and distinctive [space] craft. Here are five of my favourite vehicles...
  1. The R-Type droopy nose fighter
  2. The robot thing from N.O.M.A.D.
  3. The first Cybernoid ship (with Cybermace)
  4. The seemingly-feeble biplane from Flying Shark
  5. The craft from Lightforce, simply because it looks like nothing else you'd ever see other than in a kitchen
