So regarding to the rules it leaves me no other choice...

Well, that's exactly what I want: to disqualify my earlier vote. So I guess I have the last laugh.

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 4:21 pm

Ok, another vote for Star Force then.

I'm sick with a cold right now and have a ton of work, but I'm going to do my best. If I don't play at some point, I won't have a chance at last place, which will get me that prize from Rob.

not too sure about that.
Code: Select all
If you post your vote and then edit your post, your vote is disqualified. 

We have our Super Lawyer so don't fuck with us people.

SECTION Z

Seems like fun.

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 6:10 pm

I haven't played any of these, I'll just hafta wait and see how the vote turns out, and play whatever ends up winning...

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 6:16 pm

juno fist

It looks like that stinker Section Z might win it, but at least I'll get to play it on a TV...

Davey · Post by **Davey** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 6:23 pm

I vote for Juno First, although it pretty much already lost.

Does anybody else find the character sprite in Section Z funny? He's such a pansy.

Or you could vote for Juno First.

Can I vote for a hammer to smash my hands with instead?

Time Pilot.

I know none of these but I go with my fellow team members. star force be it.

Super Laydock · Post by **Super Laydock** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 6:51 pm

ok, after some more playing through the options I have made up my mind.

I vote for Section Z!

oh and just for the record my first (and edited) post NEVER contained a vote!

I merely added the thoughts about other games after telling I was confused (with Exerion being my first purchased shmup)
So there's no ground for disqualifying my vote!

ave · Post by **ave** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 7:48 pm

Voted for Star Force. Looks really nice in comparison to Exerion and stuff

EOJ · Post by **EOJ** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 8:50 pm

I voted for Juno First to help out FEKA USA.

Should go without saying, but if you're not in the competition don't post a vote in this thread.

-1 SZ

Since I haven't officially voted yet I'll go with Juno Fisting.

DarkWolf7 · Post by **DarkWolf7** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 9:40 pm

Star Force

All of these are terrible.

I vote the same

_Bnu · Post by **_Bnu** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 1:04 am

I vote for Super Mario Bros 3. That game is older than my younger brother.

I'll answer my own question. I went out and picked up the Tecmo collection and there's no chopping. It looks and plays quite nicely. I doubt that there is a tate option, but I'll check anyway.

EDIT: I checked. No tate. But there is a difficulty setting. The default is Very Easy, which still seemed reasonably challenging. The Normal setting is really fast-paced, WAY faster than the NES or SNES could handle, I believe. If this game wins, I hope there will be a way of standardizing difficulty level without requiring everyone to play in mame. After all, I just spent $20 in order to be able to participate!

Star Force.

....is Yar's Revenge a shmup?

Zigfried the Trizealot · Sun Sep 17, 2006 3:58 am

I think people should be allowed to play any version, not just MAME (unless it's a totally different game, as in NES Section Z). If one port is somehow advantageous over another, figuring that out is part of the strategy. Since this tourney is intended for fun, we should have that kind of leeway.

Of course, part of the reason I say that is because I happen to actually own ports of both Section Z and Star Force, and I'd like to be able to use them.

Is that a martial arts sexual technique?

Despite my overwhelmingly breaken heartedness at the lack of Stargate, I'll still vote

I used to play the hell out of Time Pilot '84 in the arcades back in the day, but I think I'll vote for Star Force.

Acid King · Post by **Acid King** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 4:58 am

Star Force to the max.

I just tried this out today. I don't know any of you anymore. Juno First at least has a scoring system (and lots of olde time twitch dodging. and flashing colors).

Perhaps. While Juno First is an interesting game, I actually own Star Force. It'd be nice to get to play without involving emulation. It'd give my keyboard a rest

Ah... star force was first shmup i've ever played on nes.
I remember that i got only into zone J but not further

Just a update for this record voter turnout. Take like, 3 votes off Juno and 1 off Section Z from the unofficial thing above and the winning gaps are about where they should be.
