8th Annual Top 25 Shmups of All Time - discussion thread

[incognoscente]

The first round of ballot correction/clarification messages have been sent. There were lots of Zanac, Salamander/Life Force, and Gradius 2 questions again. A few ballots contained an incorrect number of games.

Please check your private messages to see if your ballot is affected.



If you haven't voted yet, be aware that polls close in less than a week.

Thanks for the note, incog. I always think of Zanac as just a NES game. MSX just isn't on my radar.

As usual, plenty of interesting lists. The lists of Saucykobold and Dragoforce were especially interesting to me.

I'm thinking Shiki 2 has a pretty good shot at making the top 25 again. Once again the cute-em-up votes are all over the place, so probably none will make the list.

6 post-poll correction notices sent.

Incidentally, does anyone know where Vyxx went? I still have yet to receive a reply to the correction notice I sent last week. If I receive replies to the other 6 notices outstanding and still nothing from Vyxx, his ballot will be ignored and I'll move forward with the results thread.

I have an odd question that I didn't know where to ask.. Is STGT team based? The past threads all have team names. How are the games chosen? Any info would be cool, thanks.
