This was one of the first video games I ever played, all the way back during my IBM OS/2 Warp 3 days. We used to open a DOS window and play away. Never understood English at the time, since I was only 6-7 years old, but I still remember the tune that played when you first started a game.
When I first found this game as a kid, I found it to look so awesome. I loved how it played and the vibrant colors. My childhood wasn't the happiest, but to find gems like this that just seemed to fit me, makes me want to play it again.

Ikaruga
IkarugaIn this vertical scrolling spaceship shooter, you control a ship that can change its polarity at will. As blue/white, the ship can easily destroy red/black enemies, and vice versa. Bullets of your polarity can be collected to fuel your energy gauge, but those opposite will kill you. Destroying an enemy ship causes them to fire revenge bullets which can be absorbed and fired back by the player. Different difficulties exist to change exactly how you interact with polarized points, or how they appear. It is the spiritual successor to Radiant Silvergun, featuring similar level and boss design, as well as it's buddhism inspired themes and aesthetics. Both are directed by Hiroshi Iuchi, who also composed Ikaruga's soundtrack.
