yeah, pick a game so I can buy it.

Also, I think you should take my score off, because it would be fun to keep track with who gets the legit high score each month and see how it accumulates through the year.

Once again I'm skipped over? :?

New score for tonight. Had a perfect run past the big light bulb ships. Then it all went to hell with the pair of blue scattering bastards.

269960 - GEN

Damn sorry about that, trying to keep track of everything but I guess I missed your post(s) somehow. (Updated scores)

Who-ah, sweet Gen score there Hobie.

Don't see why we gotta go votin for March now -- I think we should wait till the end of the month at least, that still gives you all a month to assemble what you need to get, and to enjoy this month's game a bit more! It's like in the first 15 days everyone's done with Truxton and we're ready to start Axelay tomorrow at this rate :lol:

Plus, I'm only familiar with a few of March's games. There really is no HG 101-style source on Psikyo, so I'm gonna have to try to seek reviews and screenshots other ways. Don't be closing the voting out by tomorrow night at this rate, k?

Glad they seem to specialize in arcade titles, at least!

The idea is to pick the games for the whole year by the end of the month, so we can be on the lookout/start budgeting as soon as possible. No one is playing Axelay yet just because we picked it...

Here's my Psikyo picks:

+3 Dragon Blaze
+2 Sengoku Ace
+1 Strikers 1945 II

191,730 - Area 43 - MAME

So fucking close to 200K. The damn green ball-shaped ships after the tank boss did me in. The tank boss with one speed-up and no powered up gun was intense. I am enjoying the thrill this game gives, it is such a great example of Toaplan's work!

I just know I can break 200,000 - but once I get over 150K my wrist really starts to hurt! I think once I hit my goal on MAME I am going the Genesis route with its sweet, sweet auto-fire!

187,400 - SHMUPMAME

I think i'm done after that one - I had a monster run and played brilliantly, or at least as well as I can play this game anyways. I'm happy with it, I don't think it bumps me up the board after dsh's run he just posted, but i'll leave it there.

I have Axelay, so that's good.

I agree, lets vote for the others now.

I'll submit my votes later.
