Random Comments:
- This year's first surprise approaches in the form of the huge battle ship G-Darius, which has managed to pull off a quadruple laser counter and secure a T25 slot. Series predecessor Darius Gaiden has similarly gained unprecedented ground, rising far enough to bookend the top ten placings. The numbers suggest this is the year everybody decided they really wanted some tuna sashimi.
- Our other new accomplishment goes to dual doujin and home computer flag-bearer Cho Ren Sha 68K, which some are suspecting of wrapping back around past position 0 while they weren't looking; following in its vapour trail are handful of similar titles making the jump to Honourable Speed.
