#11✎ 203seggiepantsSounds like I need to make a space shmup (don't expect much).
I came up with a list of flight style games for inspiration. I thought it might help get the creative juices flowing. Please let me know if any wouldn't really fit the theme.
Lunar Lander
Asteroids
Tempest
Space Invaders
Galaga/Galaxian
Defender
Gyruss
Balloon Fight
Bosconian
Space Harrier
Afterburner
1942/Xevious/Raiden/Twin Bee
R-Type/Gradius/Parodius/Life Force
Fantasy Zone
Forgotten Worlds
Xaxxon
The old 1970s Star Trek text mode simulation game
Thunder Blade
Not sure if these stretch things too much:
Missile Command (too ground based)
Joust (flap a bit not really flying)
Kid Icarus (haven't really played it, does he fly much?)
Chu chu rocket (Guide to rockets but that is mostly cosmetic)
An adventure game where you find parts to fix your space ship (collecting not flying (Commander Keen))
Side scroller with a limited jet pack mechanic (that should be ok, right? (What about Commander Keen's Pogo stick?) (Or Dangerous Dave?))
Doodle Jump (jumping not flying)
Airline Tycoon (good enough, right?)
Also you may want to stay away from the following due to technical difficulties or limitations:
Anything truly 3D
On rails shooters like Star Fox or Panzer Dragoon
Pilot wings (might be able to pull it off)
Xaxxon's Isometric graphics may be challenging too
Flappy Bird would work too I suppose. Can you think of any others? Care to dispute any of them?

Space flight is fine, but if your focus is shooting and aliens and all that, that doesn't quite match the theme. But it doesn't really matter.
