I'm 7 (9 now) minutes late, please be kind

I'm really sorry buddy I can't accept it. Wouldn't be fair.

I just had another go out of interest to see how fair I could get but lost out on stage 20 just over 3 mill. This game has a silly amount of playability and would take a great player to master it with no pods for the highest scoring possible. I still only no podded stage 1. The rest were only possible for me using the pods as a shield and bombing at any crazy situation. I played the whole game with Auto fire with the laser. Any other weapon I couldn't get on with.

Anyways the top 5 can pm me their nominations for game #7 when ready:

KollisionBR
Coffeejoerx
Mero
Weakboson

Gigawing and In the Hunt for me; isn't that by the same upstanding chaps that worked on Metal Slug?

Yeah it was the same team i believe. Had a test credit, seems very cool on MAME. Not sure what the console versions are like.

[kollisionBR]

MUSHA and Giga Wing

[AmidstStorm]

I've played a few test credits on each and I'm going for Gigawing and MUSHA

voting updated

[coffeejoerx]

My votes are for Armed Police Batrider and In The Hunt.

[Misery]

Whoa, a couple of good ones in the list finally.

If Giga Wing is chosen I'll definitely give it a go; I'll at least do a 1cc, I can 1-life this one..... dunno how long I'd focus on the scoring aspect since getting a high score seems mostly to consist of knowing alot of really screwy tricks that the game just magically expects you to know, gets kinda annoying kinda fast. Bloody easy game though.

I'd give Change Air Blade a go as well, that one's fun.


Dont care about the other three, no interest in those.

[Smraedis]

Armed Police Batrider , GigaWing

[Sputryk]

Sorry; gotta change one of my votes. Was convinced I'd played BAT before, but upon trying the system craps out on me. Therefore, change BAT to... ah, sheesh... - Giga. Not that I'll be any cop at any of them, what will all the automongers....

[Sel Feena]

Looks like a tight one! Hoping In The Hunt gets through, it's gorgeous.
