Satazius (PC)

I like the games that come out of the doujin scene, so I've been quite happy to see companies like Carpe Fulgur, Rockin' Android, and NyuMedia translating these games for a Western release.  One such game is Satazius, which is very much a homage to the Gradius series.  It has a nice 16-bit visual style, good music, well laid out levels, and solid controls.  If you like old school non-bullet hell shmups, I recommend checking it out. =)
