No, I have a pretty good idea of what is decent, good, and suck in most of the shooters I play. For example, my best run in Dragon Blaze is definitely suck (like 600k in stage 1-5). All of my 1cc scores are mediocre at best (though I don't care about improving most of them). Dodonpachi I'm actually tyring to get good at, and am doing so slowly but surely. And will continue to do so until I stop enjoying it ^_^

I hope we don't play DDP for the last week.

Why not? I thought you were pretty decent at DDP. Do you just not like the game? Or is it because the learning curve for scoring is too high for a one-week comp?

I like Ikaruga, but excluding that, I agree with you completely.

Is that the engine that Star Soldier 64 was made from? It sure looks like it.

Yeah, me either. It was one of the first Dreamcast games I bought, and one of the like... 4 (of 60) that I haven't ONCE put in the Dreamcast.

If I do it it will be epic. I recorded 80% of a game a few months back. Need to finish that.

No offense or nothing. Got to take in the ambiance of Shenmue.

is that hick accent legit ?
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Rob you kick ass. Love your reviews. Keep em coming.
Oh and I had no idea that Irem was pronounced eye-rum.
Some of the best shmups don't actually end in a vowel.
