FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU



Nice score, Brad.

Yeah, I can honestly say that this one is a pain in the dick; I had to fight to play it more than anything.

thanks, Don... and I agree. Actually, getting the new monitor stand kind of forced me to spend time, because once I TATE'd I didn't feel like getting distracted by the internet between runs since it would require rotating the monitor. But yeah, I pretty much had to discipline myself to stick with it all week. Hope next week is something better.

I've already voted for whichever one it was you didn't want for next week.

I've always loved Batsugun, quick learning curve, lots of pretty explosions, a real nice flow to the game. However...apparently the afficionados hate a scoring trick (that I didn't know about :oops: ) so I highly doubt it will win.

So that means another week of MAME as I don't own the others.

I've messed about with V-V, or the GEN port rather - so here's to Hishouzane, I guess :|

So, isn't that Sky Shark on NES? If so, would we be able to play that version?

AFAIK it is not an arcade-perfect port, so scoring would be different.

joke's on you, I'm fine with any of them (unless you managed to vote for a continuation of Strikers 1999?).

So, unless they pick Batsugun; more MAME. Fucking yay.

I think someone in the voting thread said Flying Shark wasn't allowed (PAL port of Hishou Zame), seeing as Sky Shark had a different publisher (and soundtrack) i'm guessing it won't be accepted. Start dl'ing the Hishou Zame rom now...
