I'd have to say that the Genesis is by far the definitive platform for shooters.  As for shmucks, I'm not sure what platform that would be.

As much as I love the PCE, I'd have to say that the Mega Drive/Genesis edges it out in the shooter category, especially if you count run n' gun games like Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier, Battle Mania, and Contra Hard Corps.

Battle Mania isn't a run and gun.  It would best be described as Forgotten Worlds for girls.

The Genesis isn't the definitive platform for anything but crappy sports games and FMV garbage.

Yeah, lots of FMV on the Genesis.  FPS and MMO, too.

Space Jockey is so awesome. It's all about twitch reflexes! I once got a huge score in it and wrote it down, but I don't know where it is now :( .

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I bet that my high score in that same game is at least 1 point higher than yours.

I recently played a not to popular but great horizontal shooter on the msx2 called "space manbow".
It's a shooter from konami and looks very good to for an msx game.
msx might not be the ultimate system for shooters but still worthwhile looking into. :)

That's something of an understatement.

The PC-FX is a waaaaaaaaay better console than the wimpy TG-16 or Duo.  Look at the banner at the top of this page.  It features the massively popular chicky who represents the PC-FX.  I mean god damn!  The TG-16 can go to hell.  Look at the banner again.  Anything TG-16 related is blurry.  That means the TG-16 sux.  Only the PC-FX has massive gameplay adictability and intense worlds to enthrall players with copious amounts of replayability and genius game design.

Not to mention the PC-FX would smash a Turbo system in a fight.
