Just think of other way people call it that isn't in japanese.

(and no, it isn't the translation of the name. So yeah, the tip is wrong.)

You didn't fix the Takumi hint in the new version.

Company that hosted the Summer Carnival contests and produced many time-attack shmups for the PC Engine.

The summer carnival games were by Naxat.

Hudson made the Soldier series with the "Caravan shooting"

The only one I can't find:

Japanese video game whose commercial was produced with English dubbing.

ok....

Fixed the hints again.

Hopefully it will be more accessible than it was before, now with most everything revised. Also, note to self: NEVER revise hints directly from HTML. I had to synthesize a new crossword because of this, but upon that, I decided to throw in 2 more words.

it's getting better and better.

now the only one I can't find is:

"The game is so horrible that you'll be rofling." - shoe-sama

That's a hint?

lol thats not a shmup hint

thats a shmupsforum hint

also I think all games are horrible so that doesn't really help

of course you can just search that phrase and find the topic but lol

btw people say tlb not tfb

tfb is like

a mission in a lame game called advance wars

I have to be honest, this is maybe the worst crossword puzzle I've ever seen in my life. A for effort I guess. I finished it though. Use that if you are stumped by a stupid clue.

This wasn't very balanced either, I got stumped by just about every Cave answer, lol. I even got stumped on "Cave" 4 letters down.

I finished the last ones by using process of elimination of which Cave games were left. "this is great" yeah right. I disagree with like half the clues too.

Ha, that was 0/10 difficulty, but only because I posted in that thread. To be fair, the game is so horrible that anyone will be rofling, not just shoe.

I would've posted a pic of someone rofling then some guy walking up to him and going stfu but i forgot where i put that pic

Yeah. Thanks for appreciating my efforts on creating it, at least.

I'm not really that good at making hints (you can tell because I had to revise this crossword a few times), and I guess putting any shmup term that comes to mind probably might not have been a good idea.

Well, seeing that this crossword is filled with lots of shmup material (60 words of it, save for the other shmups and the almost all doujin shmups missing), I guess it's safe for me to say that this will be the final revision for this crossword. Hopefully I can make a better crossword, but I'll need lessons on hint creation.
