Dredging up the past

During a discussion on shmupsforum, a particular member suggested that somebody play every shmup from the 80's and write brief impressions for each game. Well, being the fool I am, I offered to do a single year and asked him which I should do. He gave me 1983. So, I'm writing my impressions down of all the shmups from 1983 according to this piece of writing. If it's interesting enough I might just keep doing it. Although I'll only be going up in years. I can barely withstand 1983 so anything before it might kill me. I'll put up a notepad file of my impressions when I get done.

Note: I still plan on putting up a GradiusV or Shikigami no Shiro II review, but who knows when that will ever get done.
