This thread is for voting for and discussing the first game in the King of the SHMUP competition. For full details of the format of this competition check out the following page:

Voting will remain open for the next 3 months, and you don't have to be registered on the forum to vote for a game.

The qualifying round will feature one of Hudson's time-limited games. The top 5 scorers on this game will progress to the next round...

I've gone for Star Soldier R, it's short and that should make the scores more even and thus possibly more competetive.

Edit.

I should have read the initial blurb on the site before posting that.
