Somewhere for the annoying and/or off-topic threads to go. Feel free to post about whatever, but abuse will still be dealt with, and possibly with more force. Especially pac-porno. ;)

it's really hard to vote on one of these companies snice all of them have their moments. But I think UPL is consistently the best/worst/weirdest/whatever

also, I think Video System warrants a mentioning too. Everybody loves dolphin!

I vote for Taito.

If it was not for arcades only my vote would go to
Toaplan, of course.
