MinishoterRS Delta is an amazing Japanese shmup that does everything right: lots of levels (including hidden ones), multiple selectable ships (including unlockable ones), great retro music and sound effects, optional boss battle mode for practice and plenty of other hidden extras. The game is played in very low resolution, though this can be magnified with the Q, W and E keys, and controlled with direction buttons along with A and Z. Though the website and program are Japanese in origin, most of the in-game text is in English.

I have to admit I tried this game without realizing you could change the screen size, it did seem to play nicer when squinting at a 2inch box =)
It seems a great game though, I only unlocked to more ships so far though ;'( I'm crap at it
This game is loads of fun if you're a shooter fan. It's a little on the frantic side with some curtain-style projectile dodging, but it's got a good mix of ship options to suit anyone's preferences, and lots of content.
I'm working on translating the small bit of text. :)
