Congratulations! It won't take as long to get to 1K, you'll be there in no time. The only games I would add are Space Megaforce (technical marvel with little slowdown) and Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie.
Congrats on 500 Saturday uploads! That's a great milestone, and the fun laid-back vibe makes the series really special. Keep going as long as you enjoy it man. Some really cool games on this SNES list, and I do have a soft spot for Axelay... something about the messy-but-beautiful visuals, the music, the alternation of hori-vert. But my favorite SNES shmup is Super Aleste / Space Megaforce. I come back to that game again and again, and for me it's the pinnacle of the Aleste formula, so gratifying to play.
Congrats on 500 videos!!!🎉 Thanks to you for giving us great videos to enjoy. I remember Gradius 3 with fond memories. When I was a kid the slowdown always felt like a dramatic effect and it didn't bother me😂
