Shmup of the Month Club 2012

[brunoafh]

Updated my Ballot with: (1) with Blue Hawk, and (2) Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire

Sounds good.

From here on out, if you guys could PM me (or just post, then PM me the post) about vote changes, just so it's easier for me to be notified and keep track, that would be good. You don't have to PM me this post, as obviously I've seen it.

Also, I updated the OP with the voting rules. You may want to read them, but, it's basically "vote for the games and notify me directly if you change your mind with anything".

[ZenErik]

Oh, so after you put me on the ignore list you finally listen to me and post rules and info in the first post. Makes sense.

ds literally twisted my arm off and beat me with it until I agreed to vote for his game, so here it is.
Looks like we might still be playing Sapphire anyway, but I don't mind making things a little interesting.

man, if ds wanted to play CC that bad, he should have staked the deck and picked CC three times.

Quick question about Sapphire: what's the best PCE/TG16 emulator, and if one were to, hypothetically speaking, be graced with the copy by Racketman himself, would the emulator recognize the disk? I still haven't splurged on a PCE yet.

[jepjepjep]

Ootake is the best, and it's free.

[brunoafh]

would the emulator recognize the disk?

I know for a fact that Magic Engine recognizes disks. I'm not 100% on Sapphire as it uses the Arcade add-on, but I'd imagine it would work just fine.

Oh man, Sapphire is now leading Crimzon Clover by only one vote (8-7).

What convinced pierrot was that the game runs very well on OSX, so if that is a reason you are voting against it (looking at you, Ellert), maybe you'll want to reconsider: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=33512

There's also a demo you can try out here: http://www.vector.co.jp/download/file/w ... 02734.html

I'd also add that, given the choices, this is our only chance to have a doujin game in the club. I think it would be a real shame to go two years without any doujin shmups

[noiseredux]

lol, Dave are you reaching out to each voter of Sapphire yourself or did you hire a campaign team to help you out?

[ZenErik]

Going to submit a vote adhering to bruno's rules since they're finally stated in the first post of the thread. Now he just has to unblock me so the votes can actually be counted.
