I thought it was going to be pretty demanding coming up with 25 and then I started shaving off titles. Dragon Blaze, Zero Gunner 2, Salamander 2, oh the horror! The top is easy for me to figure out. The bottom, less so. Is Hyper Duel really better than R-Type Delta? (No, just changed) SO....here's my list. I didn't scale these but DDP:DOJ would be worth 25,000 could I make it so. Oh I can't wait (to never get to play) DDP4!!!

Oh, and I couldn't include Ketsui, Mushihimesama Futari, ESPGaluda 2, Death Smiles, and other Cave shmups. Look at my top 7! Other than Ikarua, ALL CAVE!

Edit: No Bangai-O? :(

Nothing much exciting came along and haven't played enough to warrant real shifts. So this is mainly a reproduction of my last years list. (notice Last Hope still being on it too :P)
One game that DID impress me in the last year was Pink Sweets, but I played too little to know if it truly deserves a place in my top 25. It seems like a good contender and once I get the game or have been playing it more.
