I played Ikaruga and a lot of the old school shooters (R-Type, Darius, Xenon 2, Lord of Thunder, Last resort ...) but also new one (X-2, Sine Mora, ...). I will check Jets 'n Guns, it looks cool.
I enjoyed playing Summer Games by Epyx on the C64, the graphics and gameplay were pretty good for that type of game.
Impossible Mission and Spy vs Spy were also a couple of my favourites.

Being that you seem interested (good sign!) also take a look to this "3D" stuff: Sin and Punishment (N64) , and its sequel (Sin & Punishment: Star Successor) for Wii
PS: are you beginning to understand why my neighbors' kids are so happy?
I enjoyed the good old Amiga games (Hybris, Another World, Elite, F-18...) but the game that I found most mind-blowing and disruptive was without a doubt: Doom

I haven't seen it on Electronica-60, but I've played it on Electronica-85 several times.
