See title. And please don't respond with Darius Alpha or Toilet Kids as the latter is a neat novelty but not worth $45 it costs on eBay and the former is just priced stupid high.
Like pick one or two because I have Heavy Unit and it's harder than galvanized nails.

i just got download which I am enjoying although it's a bit hard. (i suck at shooters though)
I also have super raiden CD (thanks secret santa!) which is excellent.
-
Download, r-ytpe, final soldier, L-Dis and Parodius Da! are all fun and affordable
-
I have most or all those games in my ROM set on my phone (better than a PCE-E, can play rare games on a whim).
I actually did try out Darius Alpha emulated and I don't get the reason why people like this game. The lasers were all dropping down to the bottom of the screen like they had erectile dysfunction or something. I could get Darius Plus and have the whole game since Alpha is just a boss run.
I'll probably get Parodis Da!, R-Type and Download.

A few of my favorite PCE shewties are...
Star Parodier
Spriggan
Kyukyoku Tiger
Final Soldier
Detana!! Twinbee
Gradius
Parodius
Mr. Heli
Gradius II
Sapphire (you might be able to hunt down a booitie version here on the cheap)
Sidearms Special
There are a few others I have but haven't completely fallen in love with (yet):
Image Fight
Final Blaster
Super Darius
I only mentioned games that didn't have a US release - all of the Soldier games are awesome. Pretty much all of the above games I picked up for under $30 - most under $20, though it seems some of them may be over that mark these days if you go the ebay route.
-
The very much must own are GoT & WoT for very sure.

All of them...Duh

I may end up getting that cheap single shot flash card whats his name here designed and is selling. Who needs SDcards anyway? The two games its incompatible with I already own (populous and SF2).
But seriously, the number of medicore to shitty shooters on this console is staggering.

But seriously, the number of awesome to God tier on this console is staggering.
fixed that for you

Yeah so i actually gave Download a spin and holy shit,, a game that curses as much as i do. And its in English unlike many of the games i own. And it's not half bad at all.
If i find it for the right price ill pick it up. Until then, wanna get that dev card thing thats sold here.

Where have you ever heard anyone saying they actually like Darius Alpha? Its valuable because its rare. Nobody actually gives two shits about the software since, as you just said, its just a portion of Darius Plus.
I'm going to mention Hanatakdaka here:

I'm not sure how much you're going to actually like it. You sound like one of those guys that just blasts through hundreds of ROMs in an hour, unfarily shitting on most of them, and never taking the time to actually get into them. Nevertheless, this is one of the most underrated PCE games, IMO. I think it costs about $45 or so, usually.
-
Half my collection comes from blasting through ROMS, that and loose HUcard lots. Without ROM blasting, I wouldn't have bought Doraemon, and without lots i wouldn't have even thought about trying World Court Pro.
One thing I learned about the PCE is theres a lot of fantastic sub-$20 shipped games out there that are really unsung.

Why is no-one talking about Soldier Blade?
-

-

Ai Cho Aniki
Gunhed
Download 1/2
Final Soldier
Ginwhateverthenoodlessay Sapphire
L-Dis
Override
Psychosis
Rayxanber II
Spriggan
Super Raiden (you're welcome, swimby)
Super Star Soldier

I see Final Soldier, but not SB. You mean in the topic above?
At the moment, if I want to play a shewtie, it's pretty much Kyukyoku Tiger or Soldier Blade I reach for - KKTiger has a very "arcade" feel to it, but Soldier Blade is the more thrilling of the two. It just doesn't get old.
Oh, and honorable mention to Cyber Core.

Top 5:
Soldier Blade
Lords of Thunder

Gate of Thunder
