Recently I've been looking into expanding the number of shmups in my library.

Which games should I prioritise getting? Any that I should avoid?

Well that depends what you have.

Ikaruga for starters

This is at the top of my list, so it will come sooner or later!

I don't have anything substantial except fond memories or R-Type and Raiden, and a copy of Raiden IV that I tend to play on loop when I have days off.

Second Ikaruga. A unique way to play a shmup.

I would also give Jamestown+ a try.
