You too? Cool! Too bad I suck at most of them, ahaha!

Considering the fact that my phone doesn't support process-heavy games, I don't play MAME and Saturn games, and hence my knowledge in those fields is quite limited.

Why not try it on the PC?

MAME is super easy to run. There's also a custom build of MAME that I use, called ShmupMAME. It's vanilla MAME but with better compatibility with shoot 'em up games.

As for the Saturn, there's SSF. It has fantastic compatibility, and it's also very easy to run, so long as you have a dual core cpu (and that your version of Windows isn't a Home Edition because those only support one cpu for some ungodly reason).

The MegaDrive's and the TurboGrafx-16's libraries have tons of great shmups, do give them a try! The SNES' library also has quite a lot, but not as many as the MD and TG16. The reason for this is that the SNES' cpu is slower, and since shoot 'em ups tend to be very fast-paced games, not many companies made shooters for it. The ones it has seem to be very good from what I heard, though (ALSO IT HAS A PORT OF AERO FIGHTERS/SONIC WINGS the cart is super rare and expensive though).

I should make a shmups general thread here, just so we don't derail this one, heh!

That's not a bad idea, actually! I'm pretty sure you have the right to do that, so why not?
As for the actual picture... *shrugs*

HINT 2: The game that boss is from was referenced in a lot of Sonic games, with the main character having cameo appearances every now and then.

Now it should be a cakewalk!

I don't play Sonic, so I wouldn't know. However, after a quick Google search, I found something. This feels like cheating though, so I'll just leave the answer in a spoiler. Don't count it.

It's Gillwing, from Nights into Dreams. I never played anything in that series ever, so I wouldn't have gotten it if I hadn't looked it up. >.>

you might as well count it as if you don't i could just go and read the spoiler and post the answer like this:
"It's Gillwing, from Nights into Dreams."
and make some qualifier like this:
"Although I've never played the game I remember it being in that Sonic Adventure 1 level."

...You know, it wasn't really your call. If KobaBeach wanted to count it, he could have. I was waiting for him to say whether or not it did. I assumed it didn't because I looked it up based on the hint, but I wanted to wait for actual confirmation before posting a picture.

Do it Validon. also i was writing a post right now ahahaha

Oh boy, terrible drawing skills go! It's from a PS2 game. Still might be a little obscure.

It looks like someone shoved a dragon from Panzer Dragoon and a Lugia into a blender along with Flandre's wings.

Wrong on all three counts.
Let's give another hint, because I honestly don't know if anyone's going to get it (and I'm entirely willing to give hints).
The game this boss comes from has to do with dreams, but isn't from the same series as the one the last picture came from. I think that should make it a bit easier. Not sure, though.

For some reason I wanted to shout out "LSD: Dream Emulator" but I quickly realized that answer makes no sense.

No, it's not LSD (that had to do with dreams, but it was neither part of a series nor a PS2 game).
Okay, here's a third hint. The series this boss comes from is a series of platforming games.

Klonoa 2?

Yes, but can you name the boss?

Validon98 wrote:Yes, but can you name the boss?

Just looked it up, it's Cursed Leorina.

I haven't played Klonoa 2 yet. I should try it out sometime, it looks very good.

Now to think of something to draw for this thread.

Ah, Klonoa. I played both GBA versions, but I haven't played the PS2 ones. To be honest, I did a little Googling, and I find that it'sDoes it still count?

Welp, I was beaten to it.

Hint 1: She's from a recent CAVE shmup.
Hint 2: A different version of her was posted in this thread before, but no one got it IIRC :c (her character wasn't always a loli).

not to mention that it has no bosses

I'm not going to answer it, because I think I might know and I don't want to draw something twice in a row. Also, yes, it was Cursed Leorina. That boss for some reason gave me some trouble the first time I played. But yeah, Klonoa 2, I have to play that again sometime (maybe actually do all of the 150 Dream Stones things and whatnot).

Hint 3: She's from one of the DoDonPachi games.

So I did my research, and I believe it'sDo I win this time?

You won!

Go draw whatever!

Okay then, I now present the final and THIRD BOSS OF DOOM!


And I should and shall prepare the next tier of bosses.
