Bangai-O needs to be released for XBLA. I loved that game on Dreamcast.

Alien Soldier has "terrorlists" thus it is my favorite Treasure game.

Fortminor @ Apr 9th 2008 10:28PM

Gunstar heroes is one of my favourite treasure games. Hmmmm...I wanna go play it now :P

Noryen @ Apr 10th 2008 1:07AM

Ikaruga because the whole Black and White aspect adds a whole new dimension to that type of gameplay.

IKARUGA!!!

I'm pretty sure I remember reading that it is being ported to DS.

Neebs @ Apr 9th 2008 5:04PM

I've actually never played a Treasure game :|

gunstar heroes

Vander @ Apr 9th 2008 5:07PM

Although I've loved them all, my favorite is probably Gunstar Heroes, because it took Contra and twisted the mechanics just enough to make a fresh, fast-paced action game that felt different. Every level had you attacking it in new ways, and no two are alike.

Astro Boy: Omega Factor has to be one of the best Treasure games.

Ikaruga is my favorite Treasure game, and seeing as how I already have it for Dreamcast and Gamecube, I am hoping to get it for free the 3rd time, in HD no less.

Tim Harding @ Apr 9th 2008 5:11PM

Ikaruga!

jonecat @ Apr 9th 2008 5:11PM

Ikaruga

Seishino @ Apr 9th 2008 5:11PM

I'm going to go with the non-filler parts of Stretch Panic. Without the filler, it would have been the most awesome 20 minutes of my life.

PoisonBinky @ Apr 9th 2008 5:12PM

Stretch Panic, of course! OK, not really. It's probably Gunstar Heroes.

tatatijo @ Apr 9th 2008 5:12PM

Gunstar Heroes was awesome!!

Ikaruga! I wonder if the XBLA version will support monitor tilting.

For me, it's a tie between Gunstar Heroes and Radiant Silvergun, but then again those are the only ones I've ever played.

Hiddnfox @ Apr 9th 2008 5:14PM

GUNSTAR HEROES hands down. Even replayed it a million times when Gametap brought it back!

John K. @ Apr 9th 2008 6:36PM

Gunstar heroes

dragoon013 @ Apr 9th 2008 5:14PM

Astro Boy: Omega Factor.

If you've never tried this and have a GBA or DS, you should really try it out, it's one of the best Megaman-style games on either system.

Maybe I don't deserve to win. As much as I love Treasure I think my favorite game of theirs was Silpheed: The Lost Planet. Go figure, everything else has been too hard for me to really enjoy over the years. Fun, pretty, but a little tough for my liking. Thanks for the chance to win anyhow.
