Voting's up for May's SOTM.





Let's keep this just for one single game. If a game is tied, I reserve the right to name the final choice.

Happy voting!

Some nice games here! Voted shienryu because a STV•multi is the only version of any of the choices available to me.

Had to look up the systems list, if anyone else is interested:

Dragon Blaze: Arcade, PlayStation 2, Nintendo Switch, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One
Stahlfeder: PlayStation
Final Soldier: PC Engine
Shienryu: Arcade, Sega Saturn, PlayStation

Fun fact: Shienryu seemed familiar to me somehow and I looked it up, we played both of the 2 leading shmups in 2023

2023 Scores
Jan - Gunbird 2
Feb - Dragon Blaze
Mar - Blast Wind
Apr - Shienryu

(props to @Neodogg for posting the list some time ago)

Great choices this month.
I voted for dragon blaze because it’s probably Psikyo’s most beautiful and difficult shmup. Last time we had it in the SOTM I took down top score, looking to improve on it this time. Still chasing that 1cc.
I also suspect some of you guys ended up getting the psikyo multi in the recent batch.

Though I wouldn’t be mad at Shienryu being the choice. It’s a fav of mine as well and has Raiden vibes all over it.

Yeah it’s made by a French developer that has his order list on one of the French arcade forums. There was a recent batch he did that got a few non-France buyers their multi’s.

It’s a great multi full of bangers. Installs on a Psikyo SH2 board (in my case a Strikers III).

Game gets stupid tough starting on stage 6. The one person I know who 1cc'd it had a rough time and put it up there with some of his most difficult runs. Great game and still easier than Ibara and Tatsujin 2 (probably)
