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:

Pre-game #7 overview:

- The top 5 ranking scorers for Varth: Operation Thuderstorm should PM me one game nomination for game #7.

- Once i've received all 5 nominations, I will post them up above. Also I will announce it as a new post.

- All players that submitted a score for Varth will have 2 votes each to cast on the 5 games nominated.

- Players voting can either PM, email or text me their votes. Or, post them into the thread.

- In a case of a tie of votes, a re-vote on the games tied will be asked by all players.

- The deadline for nominations and votes is 23:59pm on the 6th June.

- If we haven't received all votes by this time, then the game with the current highest number of votes will become the game we will play. If games are tied on votes when the deadline hits, I will take some administrative stance and pick the game I feel will be best suited to the league.

- If we receive all votes and nominations before the deadline, then the game will start at 00:00am the next day.

- Game #7 is guaranteed to start at the latest, at 00:00am on the 7th June, and will go on til 23:59pm on the 21st June, UK GMT.

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.

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.

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.... :roll:
