Treasure's Ikaruga holds a special place in our hearts. If you're like some of us on the Joystiq crew, today's Xbox Live Arcade release will be the third time you pick up this classic shooter. At only 800 Microsoft Points ($10), this HD re-release is quite a bargain -- but, thanks to Microsoft, we're able to give three Joystiq readers a free download of the game. Just follow these rules for your chance to win:
- To enter this giveaway, leave a comment with the name of your favorite Treasure-developed game
- You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec)
- Limit 1 entry per person
- This entry period ends at 12pm ET on Friday, April 11th. We'll randomly select 3 winners at that time (please check your email!)

Astro Boy: Omega Factor for the GBA has to be my overall favorite from Treasure.

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.

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

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

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

bangai-o is pretty good and I havent played Ikaruga.
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.

Favorite Treasure game.... has to be between Gradius V or Ikaruga. But ill say Gradius V but if you dont count Gradius V as a Treasure game ill say Ikaruga

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.
feebo @ Apr 9th 2008 5:10PM
definitely gunstar heroes!

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!
PoisonBinky @ Apr 9th 2008 5:12PM
Stretch Panic, of course! OK, not really. It's probably Gunstar Heroes.
Shawn @ Apr 9th 2008 5:15PM
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.

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.
