damn, Progear didn't make the top 25
at least Akai Katana made it but I definitely think Progear is the superior title (dat CAVE steampunk vibe is so awesome).
I was hoping that STG Weekly episode might help aid in the voting.

The game's not even close to as complicated as people make it out to be. Battle Garegga at #1 is the "weird" part of the list and, in a way, its saving grace... but I'm guessing many of its voters felt that it was simply an obligation to include it, so in that way, it fails.
garegga is seriously tied for first for me with progear which is slightly ahead of futari. I actually wasn't content with just having garegga on SAT and needed the board so I bought it a couple weeks ago
that's how much I like it. It's actually in demonstration mode right now right in front of me haha.
I know it's the part most people hate, but I love how you have to play the game in a different mindset to control rank yet you have to score high enough by chaining medals so you can kill yourself. the concept is brutal. not to mention, it has my favorite soundtrack (both original and arrange).
I would honestly rank
subversive awareness and
marginal consciousness arrange in my top 5 videogame tracks of all time.
