Shmup of the Month Club 2012

[brunoafh]

Please don't. I do not want to give any points to Ikaruga and only one point to Gradius.

Is it really that hard to just vote properly?

I think Slipheed is their only other straight up shmup. Guess that means the voting isn't going to end up messy like the Taito vote.

Also, interesting to hear your thoughts on all three ports. Better late than never, I wish I put some more time into Truxton this month myself, but I have to admit, it didn't end up being one of my favorite Toaplan games. It's good, but ultimately it just made me want to play other shmups, hah.

+3 Radiant Silvergun
+1 Gradius V
-3 Ikaruga

I'll just take that as +2 Gradius +1 Ikaruga.

Please don't. I do not want to give any points to Ikaruga and only one point to Gradius.

Vote for Silpheed for +2 instead!

I do not see anything wrong with not voting for a game. If we are allowed to give +3, +2, and +1 to different games, there should be no issue with skipping a game or amount.

+3 Radiant Silvergun
+1 Gradius V

What is difficult about that?

[dsheinem]

+3 Silpheed because I've rarely played it
+2 Radiant Silvergun because I can never play it enough
+1 Gradius V because I need to just get over my angst about this game


Also: Just vote normal everyone

Man, I shoulda put my 3 behind Silvergun. I didn't think Ikaruga was so unpopular.

Silpheed has a scoring system, so that would be fun. I forgot about it when casting my vote sadly.

Haha. Yeah, I quit playing Truxton. That was more frustrating than fun for me.

re: Truxton - My highest, 2nd time playing, was 109k, thanks to dsheinem's Genny cart he brought over last night. I wish I had been able to track it down in time to play with you guys, it was actually pretty fun. I need to get MAME set back up so I can play the real version.

[ExedExes]

Yeah I think you're right, Metal Black it is.

Although the team that would become Treasure did program Axelay, if I'm not mistaken.

Correct!

Ok so we got the Treasure chest this month? Doesn't really matter, as Radiant Silvergun seems to be winning -- and no Saturn for me, so I might have to skip this month and play a substitute game again like I'm doing for Compile month

Anyways -- votes (EDITED)

Radiant Silvergun (w/assist) +3
Ikaruga +2
Gradius V +1
