People like you. The only thing you are short on is height.

Love the idea of KOTOR, but no chance I could beat it in a month.

I also love the idea of us playing Rule of Rose in October (or any month) but it's a bit pricey.

Either way I'll pop in and out of TR for 2016.

Ninja Spirit is a game I really like but have never played much. Very easy to pick up and play, really cool atmosphere.

In the Hunt is the submarine shmup, right? I would like to try it.

Both are pretty awesome, and both have a couple home ports, but neither is what you might call widespread in availability. Irem lovin' is hard to refuse.

We all know the best Irem game is Metal Storm.

Yeah, I worded that badly... I mean like a large number of ports across platforms, but then I derped up the explanation. Blarg.

well, on the flip In The Hunt is a lot like Metal Slug. And a lot of folks seem to want to keep Metal Slug on the calendar. And MS has way more ports anyway - and the appeal to me is the online co-op.

I'm not sure I even know what Ninja Spirit is. But besides the PC version via DotEmu it's also on TG16, Amiga, C64, Game Boy and VC.

Same here. I need to run through that game again at some point.

Something in the Tetris realm would be cool; OG Tetris, Grandmaster.

Of the Irem games i'm partial to Gunforce - it is VERY hard though and plays like a cross of Rush n' Attack / Metal Slug; again, which we already have.

Mystic Riders is also an EXCELLENT game and I would love for more folks to be exposed to it. It plays sorta like the cotton series - though it does have co-op which cotton doesn't have.

I haven't played In the Hunt much and am very open to giving it more time - again though, it's in the very-similar-to-Metal-Slug realm.

I know we've done Mario Golf; but i'll propose Waialai N64 again - for a pure golf game. It really is good. As an alternative; Kirby's Dream Course is still pretty cheap and I haven't touched that game in probably 20 years and recall playing hours and hours against my seesters.
