I see you're still here clinging to your reviewing life, Gary. I suppose we should all be thankful, because you're a half decent writer. ^_^

This, in particular, was gold:

The first big boss battle you have mercilessly pits you against the letter H.

Muahaha. I also enjoyed the tip of the hat to Zero Wing. I see you're trying to wrest the shmup-master crown from Mr. Hamilton. He might have something to say about it!

I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined!

I do. In response I've started to play Uchuu (something that begins with K) SDF.

For obscurity points, too! I never heard of this game until I was looking something up on YouTube and saw a video for it. Not bad, not great, just kind of there. Looks good and plays well, but a bit tricky with a lot of hard-to-see fire, particularly with thin red lasers against the black space-y background.

Viva la muerte, that's my goddamn principle

Thank you for the feedback, Marc. And thanks for providing it in a fashion I'm both likely and willing to reply to. Your glowing praise for my half decent skills makes me feel warm and glowy.

For the record, though, I've been the shooter king of this site since Leroux scampered I spearheaded the awesome TEAM THUNDERFORCE. No amount of obscurity from OD will ever change that!

Won't lie; pulling bad NES games to bits has been more fun than I expected. Perhaps I will dip my toe back in shortly.

For us. For them. For you.

Leroux reviewed shooters?

Sigh. Everyone fighting for that Kobe spot to my Jordan. =D

And then you have me, the Dennis Rodman of shooter reviewers. :)

The only thing my milkshake brings to the yard is a subpoena.

I was waiting for you to weigh in. ^_^ Did you see the tourney topic?

Does Leroux even write nowadays?

His most recent contribution was this review, most of a year ago. But you should talk about Emp's review in this thread, methinks!

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2
