I'm up.

Batsugun +3
Truxton +2
Hellfire +1

Derp, forgot that we're only gonna need to pick 9. Also I somehow forgot G.rev and Takumi, two picks I definitely wanted to make. I'm going to update the OP with all the new info we've got.

My choices:

Compile
Konami
Hudson
Technosoft
Taito
G.rev
Psikyo
Treasure
Takumi

It'd be awesome if we could give awards to the winners:

If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.

We don't have to start tomorrow but if no one else wants to chime in, the standings for next month's game are:

Batsugun - 7
Truxton - 5
Truxton II - 4
Dogyuun - 2
Fire Shark - 2
Twin Cobra - 2
Tiger Heli - 1
Hellfire - 1

Can wait a few days in case anyone else wants to vote, but if no one else does looks like we've got Batsugun on our hands.

Hoping either Truxton I or II get a little bit more love. I'll play Batsugun, but I'm way better at retro shmups than the manic ones :lol:
