What games had spread guns? Other than Contra the only other games I can think of at the moment are Gradius and Alien Solider though I'm sure there are many more.

In Einhander if you didn't have a Grenade pod, the next best thing is to get a Spreader and pump that shit point blank like an automatic shotgun.
Spazer gun counts?

Loads of games had them. Capcom's shooters, eg 1942 and it's sequels, depending on version, Side-Arms.

i guess OP meant weapons that cover the whole screen so he can feel like a good player.
personally i always go for most damage, not area, it makes the game easier in the long run, unless it's a game where screen is always full of little weak enemies.
