[Croooow!]

How about Star Soldier? 1942? Xevious? Raiden?


BTW, I have no idea on prices for these, I just know they have a ton of ports.

I'd like to change my "Something on TurboGrafx" choice to Soldier Blade. It's vertical and is on TurboGrafx 16, VC, and PSN.

I'd be fine with any of those. Though Xevious doesn't exactly get me excited.

As these are your first choices and aren't bolded, should I count them as +1s?

There's always River Raid :p

Dec: Shmup – (Gunbird II was my nomination, but no real preference since I just love shmups in general -- though I do think that DDP or Ikaruga might be a little high-priced considering people shot down my Skies of Arcadia nomination and that game generally goes for less...)

Ikaruga is on XBLA and DoDonPachi is on PSN, so cheap options exist. Besides, Ikaruga for GCN is only around $25, last I looked.

didn't know it was on XBLA. Was just saying -- Skies was going for $20-$30 on GCN and it seemed to get squashed. I don't give an F. I'll play Ikaruga.

Dead or Alive 2 (if we go 3D)

Also, this is hardly "retro" - if we look at the history of the series we haven't played anything that was from 1999 or later other than Crazy Taxi, I believe...
