I have been playing Warning Forever, and want something more. Any good suggestions?

TechnoSylph (VSys Gaiden) - one of the best Japanese shmups out there
Also try the German shmup "Hornado" - very good horizontal blaster.

Seconding Torus Trooper. It makes my eyes bleed, but in a profoundly enjoyable way that makes me want even MORE.

The various Touhou Project shmups. Guaranteed to get you to rip your hair out. Start with Perfect Cherry Blossom, it's probably the easiest.
