I have been meaning to complete RayForce (a/k/a Galactic Attack) for years; so, I will try to participate in February.

I kinda like Xexex. Plus, I already own the Salamander Portable collection on the PSP. :)

I kinda feel like taking a stab at it this year......

I feel like there are some good choices here. I have been eying Gaiares for some time now. And I also need to put a lot more time into Chaos Field, just don't let noiseredux take charge of the leader board for that one. :D

This looks like a solid line-up. I'm especially stoked at the fact that I have all but 1 of these that have home ports.

Great selections, all.

Nice pick, dunpeal. DOJ is my favorite brand of -Pachi.

I like this list all around. Looks really good.

Also, Gaiares has the best/worst advertising for any shmup game ever made.

If Ellert ever lets me design a shirt (am I his best customer?), I want the "Guy-Are-Us" one!

I dunno if I'll be able to join in many of these. We'll see.


3 out of 11. That's actually quite a high ratio compared to the popularity of most horizontal scrollers on ShmupsForum...

Some good picks here. I don't own any of these - except Ikaruga. Time to do some shopping!

GREAT calendar, dudes! :D

*highfives dunpeal* YES! I was really hoping DOJ was going to make an appearance.
I'll take any excuse to play that game.
I'm too much of a wimp for vanilla, I'm sure I'll be sticking with Black Label :oops:

:lol: You're certainly one of the best, Dave!
I'm too afraid some Gaiares collector out there might kill me for destroying the value of their original shirt
