Thing is, the C64 had SEUCK (Shoot-em-up Construction Kit) so quite a few of the shooters that came out and tended to be released with magazines were often home-made. This wasn't necessarily bad, but it had quite a limitation in that a lot of the games were very similar. Some of these were also insanely hard. As for others on the C64, I think Catalypse was a good one, and Iridium was insanely hard even if it was pretty short, though I don't remember too well now.
I also had X2 on the PSX which I don't think was ever very well-known but it was quite a challenge, in fact I never did beat the final boss... since then I haven't really played the genre, but it was one of my favourites especially in arcades.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
