Putting in my vote for the double billing! There's no way I can't not vote for the 90s badassitude that is Chakan, and the pairing is interesting because they each represent their own culturally influenced versions of hell.

Majyuuou / Chakan for me! I got a cart of Majyuoou a few months ago but really only played up to the 2nd boss or so. I haven't played Chakan since I rented it when I was a kid.

Eh, I'm out this month. Nothing I'm particularly interested in playing.EDIT: That's not strictly true. Majyuuou looks interesting, but I'm piracy-adverse and eBay prices are not reasonable for that one

I've beaten all of these except for Chakan. I vote for the double billing by default, but I don't expect to beat Chakan even given a month. It'll be fun trying, though... I hope.

Let me put up my vote for the RPGs. From what I played of Chakan a while back, it seemed... well. Like a game that'd require a lot of help from the thread, let's put it that way.
(what I'm saying is that Chakan is fucking impossible)

You have to vote for one game or the other. FWIW, Sweet Home isn't really any better without a guide either. I'm at least familiar enough with Chakan that I could give out a couple hints and tips at the start.

Voting for the double-billing as well, simply because I've been meaning to play Chakan ever since hearing the soundtrack. If the game is as good as the music, I will be in heaven. XD Eh, nobody says we have to beat the whole game. As long as we get the gist of it, right?

I'm at least familiar enough with Chakan that I could give out a couple hints and tips at the start. Guess it depends. Sweet Home was difficult because of the lack of healing items (and how it's a PITA when someone dies), and figuring out the endgame without help. Chakan was alright, but from my memories of it, it was one of those that was tough because of cheap hits and stuff (it's been since like 1993 that I've played it though, so caveat emptor).

I'm gonna vote for the double billing. Might give me a reason to attempt to beat Chakan, and Majyuuou looks pretty interesting!

Methinks I'm in the winning crowd again. Shame I can't change my username as well, and just make this an early Halloween costume.

Sweet Home.
Guys, remember that some of us here HAVE to play whatever digital torture chamber you select then forget about. Don't make me play Chakan.

Hey, why not put my head in for Chakan. I like it, but it's going to be weird trying to figure out what the hell the chiptune cover of the month will end up being
