I pick Battle Ace.

The rest of the good games on that list I play the US versions, except for things like Altered Beast but Battle Ace is better.

Like nat, I passed over the good stuff that came to the US, but I picked Hani.  There's just something special about a game with a flying, novelty dildo.

I voted Mr Heli. I really think it's a very fun and interesting game... should have been ported to a lot more systems.

Wow, that's a lot of games. 0_0  I picked Ys 1 and 2 though, because it has awesome music.

I kinda want to rescind my vote and vote for Volfied, though, ever since I played it on the Taito Collection I fell in love with it.

Gunhed, Ys... Gunhed, Ys... Talk about a really tough choice. Alas, Gunhed has a slight edge in terms of accessibility. Ys is awesome, but it's more work.

Because it makes us feel 1337!!!

Seriously though, I voted for it because it is the best game on that list, Japanese or not.

This is too difficult. Choosing just one?

Well, I suppose I'd have to go with Monster Lair ! :)

In my mind I've integrated the forums as they should be.
