This is a really exciting looking project, can’t wait to see that archive grow. I’ve got a few rail shooters I can recommend that aren’t already on your archive.
Omega Boost | (PS1)
Liberation Maiden | (3DS)
Wild Guns | (SNES)
Attack Animal Gakuen | (NES)
The Punisher | (NES)
Nam 1975 | (Neo Geo)
Cabal | (Arcade & NES)
The Great Battle V | (SNES)
Horizon Riders | (Wiiware)
Futuridium EP Deluxe | (PS4, PSVita, PC, iOS)
Master Burner | (PC Doujin Game)
LEUCISTIC WYVERN | (Xbox 360 Indie Games)
Neural Gear | (Sharp X68000)
Gunners Heart | (PC Doujin)
Nano Assault EX | (3DS) – This one’s a twin stick shooter but it also has rail-shooter stages in it.
Hope this helps :D

Thanks! Yeah I’m not counting Cabal-esque games (lack of forward travel) though wow that’s quite a list of them and believe it or not Omega Boost and Liberation Maiden aren’t on rails (though they are really good and have the “feel” of one. Trust me, a LOT of folks mention Omega Boost).
Surprised I forgot Horizon Riders as I did just capture footage of it. I KNEW I was forgetting SOMETHING with Attack Animal Gakuen! And I didn’t know about Futuridium. Lemme try that.

I do not agree with the term “Rail Shooter”. A shooter is just an shooter no matter what you do. Nice to give notice to “shooters” in general; but the only time a game ( at least I know of ) was on an RAIL and I MEAN A RAIL was pokemon snap. That was an real shooter exprience. Only thing else I could think of that was on an Rail was that one moment in the N64 Evangelion.
Just call em shooters please lets not divide. I already call Action/Adventure/ JRPG and then their is comic adventures being called point and click games it gets too insane.
