Cool!

What type of games do you guys find the most interesting? Do you think fighters will get old quickly?

My main focus on my show is fighters and Shmups.

I'm doing a Strider clone Osman my next episode that's worth a look. Martial Masters is obscure outside the hardcore community it's worthy of 3rd strike graphically.

Trio the Punch is an odd game that was just weird, a Data East Gem.

If you want something truly horrible check out best of best.

if you want to stick with the "shmup devs who make interesting one-off fighting games" theme there's also Toaplan's Knuckle Bash, Seibu Kaihatsu's Zero Team, Video System's Karate Blazers, Raizing's Beastorizer/Bloody Roar and Gazelle's Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon

Osman is a cool game. As someone pointed out to me last time I mentioned it, it was even made by Strider's creator Kouichi Yotsui and other ex-capcom members (who left over creative differences), making it sort of an unofficial sequel.
