I agree with your listing except for Star Soldier and also Star Force. Both are excellent and intense shooters that have influenced other shooters later! I also think that SDF belongs in there as well... Otherwise you are indeed wise.
Personally, I like Star Soldier ALOT as well as Star Force but have hear some people speak less of them :cry:

And Thank You for kind words Dragon1952 :D

I also like Star Soldier quite a bit. The ports of Xevious and Galaga are also very well done.

One of Rob79's games was 1943. The NES version is awesome. It's different from the arcade one. It added a stat system that affects which power ups you get, how much energy you have, and a couple other things. It also adds a neat charge laser, which makes it easier to destroy bigger enemies when the ship isn't powered up.

For example a film magazine could write an article about how to spot a pirated DVD. It's always been a difficult one to draw the line on, because some bootleg items are of technical or historical interest. I might change the last line to 'discussion of emulation or bootleg hardware is not a problem'.
Okay. I just don't see the big deal of a picture. It's not like there are roms at the site the picture is hosted at... is there?

What if I were to tell someone to go get a rom of DDP? Not link it, just recommend it. Would that break anything?
