Homura is very fun. One of my favorite PS2 shmups.

I can also confirm that Crimzon Clover runs great in a wine wrapper and in Parallels. I'll be playing via Parallels because sometimes I have arcade stick issues via wine wrapper.

Sorry dsh, but I think I might cave again. (Queue noise's joke.) Mike made me an offer I just couldn't refuse. Like, seriously. (Ballz everywhere!)

Wait, so Mike is seriously sending people stuff to change their vote? That's not a very nice thing to do.

I'm voting for the following in hopes I can get a few things I can play to win.

Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire
19xx
Cotton 100%
Gunnail
Shienryuu
DonPachi
1943 Kai
Star Soldier - different than the N64 version?
Dooyong's Blue Hawk
G-Darius
Chaos Field

Yes, but it's still easy to procure. In fact, all three of mine are cheap.

Incidentally, Sapphire is in the lead, and there's a tie between Blue Hawk/Homura.

My votes!!

Dave's list: Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire (Heard great things about this!)

Tyranix95's list: 19XX (It's like Megaman years a hundred years earlier)

mjmjr25: Cotton 100% (better than 90%)

dunpeal2064: Rapid Hero (A true classic)

pierrot: xexex (Can't pronounce it, must be good.)

Foxhound: Raiden 4 (Loved the hell out of Raiden 3)

ExedExes: 1943 Kai (Kai was my favorite character in the original Gundam)

o.pwuaioc: Star Soldier (The future of being a soldier in space. I am in)

EllertMichael: Dooyong's Blue (First word looks like 'dong'. Sounds fun!)

hashiriya1: Fire Shark (When Sharks overcome the need for water, we're all fucked)

noiseredux: Castle of Shikigami II (Given the insanely coherent and moving story this game series has, I feel that it would be necessary to select this game to show proper respect to the SHMUP genre and recognize it for the story telling medium it is).

I like to think that that's the greatest determining factor in a game's quality.

Good choice, though. Also, you can pronounce it like 'Zechs-X.'

You can also pronounce Muchi Muchi Pork...Muki Muki Pork.

But then it loses its meaning! (Advice, never say "muchi muchi" to a tubby Japanese girl)

I'm not saying i'd say it like that - but some folks do.
