Thanks for catching this! Is it correct to say, then, that the original Parodius was not ported to any other platforms?Herr Schatten wrote:You will want to make sure that people who voted for Parodius without specifying a version mean indeed the MSX game and not Parodius Da!, as the latter often is referred to as just "Parodius" by many.

Yep. It appeared on the MSX collection for Saturn and PS1, but I believe those were emulations.

IMHO: Yes without a doubt!llaoyllakcuf wrote:I'm just curious..
so Atomic Robo-Kid is considered a shmup?
But picky people could start complaining about the sometimes non-forced scrolling...which I personally find a non-issue (Pocky & Rocky is a shmup too as far as I am concerned).

I don't believe I've received a reply to my PM asking whether your Zanac vote was for the MSX version or the NES version (AKA Zanac EX on the MSX). You probably sent it during one of the recent forum hiccups, but please do so again.
(I'll assume the vote is for the NES version if I don't hear anything from you by the 30th.)

Batsugun vs. Batsugun special version
Just want to gauge if there's consensus that Batsugun and Batsugun Special Version are different enough to warrant being treated as separate games -- or whether the differences are actually minor. I've only ever played the original arcade version.
My assumption -- given that so many people explicitly specified special version in their votes -- is that the games really are different and ought to be tallied separately...

Re: Batsugun vs. Batsugun special version
I suggest keeping them separate for Hi Score purposes but combine them for the purposes of this poll.nullstar wrote:Just want to gauge if there's consensus that Batsugun and Batsugun Special Version are different enough to warrant being treated as separate games -- or whether the differences are actually minor.

Re: Batsugun vs. Batsugun special version
I wouldn't seperate them. I only play Batsugun Special Version, but I voted for "Batsugun." I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people only specified Batsugun when in fact they spend most of their time with the Special Ver.nullstar wrote:Just want to gauge if there's consensus that Batsugun and Batsugun Special Version are different enough to warrant being treated as separate games -- or whether the differences are actually minor.
