The legendary MACROSS returns! Serving as a sequel to Do You Remember Love, SDFM 2036 is a pretty nifty side scrolling shmup that makes good use of the PC Engine CD-ROM2 for animated cutscenes produced with series character designer Haruhiko Mikimoto's involvement.

Here's what's good about forums. Someone made a thread about games with only one vowel in the title. Then someone else made a thread about games that contain every vowel. then there was a thread about games with no vowels. Now in this newest thread everyone has lost their entire minds.
a kirby air riders results screen where first place and 4th place have been switched. a notice in the middle reads: Tragically, CPU3 passed away during today's race. To honor them and their memory, they will be posthumously awarded the first place title. We understand this may upset the previously determined winner of the race. However, we feel it is important to treat all race participants with respect, and we have determined that this is the best way to show support to the deceased. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please refer to the Kirby Air Ridersβ’ Health & Safety Guide for more information.
last night i had a dream where i was playing a race against cpus in kirby air riders and won, but there was a mechanic where one of the cpus could be randomly revealed to have died in the middle of the race and it would automatically give them first place
