19XX:
- Arcade (CPS2)
- MAME
- Capcom Arcade stadium (switch)

This one recently released for the Switch, so i thought a few of you guys could be interested in trying it out.

Samurai Aces aka Sengoku Ace:
- Arcade
- MAME
- PS2
-Switch

First game in the "Ace" series that always gets much less attention then it's sequel Sengoku Blade.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai_Aces

Gekirindan:
- Arcade (F3)
- MAME
- Saturn
- Taito Legends (Xbox;PS2)

An underrated shooter with some cool Toaplan vibes.

It does matter, thanks a lot for the heads up. But seems like the old thread with the past games is no longer available, i tried to look it up before posting...
Anyway, seems like i can't change the poll right now, only the post content.

Any comments/suggestions are welcome.

What about Great Mahou/Dimahoo in place of 19XX?

Edit: It was done in 2017, dunno if that's old enough for another consideration.

Damn just sold my Gekirindan F3 board! Never played Sengoku Ace before, so that gets my vote.

If it ends up being Gekirindan and you need to play console, do the Taito Legends version. The Saturn port is all jacked up.

Dang. I was just reading about that. I popped it in here and ... yah. It's fucked. Scrolling glitches, weird little pauses, and flickering UI elements... Music is cool, but the game is too broken to enjoy.

Too bad. I wish I knew this before I voted for it.

One thing I wanted to clear up is that there is indeed a proper TATE mode in this game on Saturn. Some reports say that there isn't.

Seems like Gekirindan and Samurai Aces (both have never been played before) already have some decent voting. If everyone agrees, i will leave those two up for decision.
