Racket STGT Nov. 2013 - COLUMBIAN HI-BALLERS teh CHAMPS!

[noiseredux]

sorry I haven't come up w/ game suggestions yet. I'm really struggling here. I'm not sure if I should be suggesting games I already know well or games I've never played but would be interested in playing (IE: which scenario would likely keep me more motivated? Replaying something I'm already very familiar with, or exploring something new?) I also feel like I'm trying to avoid games we already have hi-score threads for just to keep it fresh. I guess I feel like I ultimately will just always gravitate toward the same handful of shmups (Galaga, Chaos Field, Shikigami II, Deathsmiles, MushiFutari, DDP Res, etc)...

[SpoonyBard]

I'm in the same boat. Not to mention that most of the games I would've gone with have already been suggested, haha.

This thread on shmups might help with making your picks: CHRONOLOGY OF SHOOTING (ARCADE` present day - 1984)

I'm in the same boat. Not to mention that most of the games I would've gone with have already been suggested, haha.

There's only been 8 games suggested so far. Still plenty of choices, Spoon

'90-'95 - Dogyuun
'96-'00 - Raiden Fighters
'01-'05 - Progear
'06-'10 - Shikigami lll

1990-1995: Super X - N.T.C.
1996-2000: Hotdog Storm - Marble/Ace Int.
2001-2005: Dodonpachi II: Bee Storm - IGS/Capcom, licensed by CAVE
2006-2010: Rajirugi [Radirgy] - Milestone/Able

[DocHauser]

Are games only allowed one nomination each?

[ExedExes]

I think some people are also PM'ing their picks to mjmjr. That's what I did.

[SpoonyBard]

1994 - Shippu Mahou Daisakusen : Kingdom Grandprix
1999 - Giga Wing
2005 - Espgaluda 2
2006 - Karous

There's only been 8 games suggested so far. Still plenty of choices, Spoon

Yeah, but half of those games were ones I was considering, haha.

[DocHauser]

I'll go with these...

'90-'95 - Sorcer Striker (1993)
'96-'00 - Raiden Fighters 2 (1997)
'01-'05 - Espgaluda (2003)
'06-'10 - Blue Wish Resurrection Plus (2008)

I think some people are also PM'ing their picks to mjmjr. That's what I did.

Might not be a bad idea to put a deadline for picks (end of the month maybe?) and then list them all. That way we can go through them and make sure we don't leave anyone out because of hardware limitations or lack of a good rom.

[skate323k137]

Here's what I'll go with for nominations:

'90-'95 - Aero Fighters 2 (1994)
'96-'00 - Mars Matrix (2000)
'01-'05 - Gradius V (2004)
'06-'10 - Trigger Heart Exelica (2006)

The older two should be easy to emulate, gradius v is an easy find for US PS2, and T.H.E. should be relatively accessible as well. Lots of good nominations already, looking forward to whatever we pick.

...multiple nominations are fine, sorta like putting more balls in the lottery.

I have a list at home - let's give it another week for everyone to submit nominations - then i'll post a public list of everything that's been submitted. Send via pm or post in thread, either is fine...
