Shmup of the Month Club 2012

[dsheinem]

+15 Zanac X Zanac (Zanac Neo)
+14 Space Megaforce
+10 Zanac
+6 The Guardian Legend
+5 Gun-Nac
+5 Spriggan
+3 Blazing Lasers
+1 Aleste
+1 Aleste Gaiden (hell yeah EllertMichael)

Looks like Zanac Neo has won. There have been a lot of votes and all the regulars have weighed in so I'm satisfied with closing the Compile vote if everyone else is.

sounds good to me

on to Raizing?

[noiseredux]

yup! I'm pleased.

[ExedExes]

I'll be passing that month if Z X Z is the official winner, sorry. The problem for me is just like when Super Monkey Ball was last months TR. It's only on 1 console, which I do not have, and I don't do disc-based emulation. As I said earlier, I'd play the first Zanac on NES in spirit, if all that Z X Z is a rehash with more graphics and stuff. I don't have the money to plunk down on such an expensive game or a PS just to play it on after spending so much on new stuff last month. If all of you but me have it/the means to play it, more power to you. You all enjoy April and I'll expect to see lots of stories and scores and I'll resume in May.

For May - Raizing votes then!

+3 Soukyugurentai
+2 Battle Garegga
+1 Kingdom Grand Prix

Batrider looks fun but I've never played that. Would I need a MAME cabinet or something?

[brunoafh]

You can use MAME on your PC.

edit: Wow this really opened my eye's to Raizing's catalog. Never really knew all that much about them aside from Soukyu and Battle Garrega. They have some awesome looking games.
