Depending on compatibility, certain emulators may be able to get the job done (I don't know how far into detail I can get into here).

Though it would certainly have to be shorter, Someone should do an article on bit generations I was actually thinking of writing a quick one on them, seeing how my friend has picked up all of the first wave ones (Dotstream, Dialhex, and Boundish) and he should be getting the other four by the end of the week (Orbital, Digidrive, Soundvoyager, and Coloris). From the first three I've played, they're really cool and for a simplistic types of game they have a lot to offer and I really dig the retro style graphics. Once I finish with some of the articles I have reserved, I'm going to get started on the bit Generation series.

bit Generations would be excellent. I have been meaning to get those games myself. I believe there has been talk of a American release?

I'd actually like to be daring and possibly reserve 3 games for review by myself (I may need a little help at points but aside)
Destrega Evil Zone 10,000 Bullets
Destrega and Evil Zone are very close to my heart, being possibly my favourite fightingish games ever (3D ones anyway). Both games are also tragically underrated and have a startlinglying large amount of depth. I may like to follow up these articles with a Unholy War article.
10,000 Bullets intrigues me because there's almost no reviews at all for it (and it's relatively new) and it's not a bad game and it's a bit different in it's style (It plays a little like Gungrave sans the destructable enviroments but with wayyyy more abilitles)

Coincidentally, I just got Evil Zone last night.
If you want reviews for 10,000 Bullets, look for them under its Japanese name, Tsukiyo ni Saraba. They're pretty mixed overall. I grabbed it a few weeks ago at a Play Asia sale - seems like a Japanese-style Max Payne homage.

I would like to call Treasure. I have already begun work on a game-by-game company retrospective. And don't worry, I am not a totaly fanboy.

Treasure would be excellent. However would you not have to update that regularly whenever they release a game? Also I consider certain games of theirs to merit their own section. Like Alien Soldier, Gunstar Heroes series or Ikaruga. Make certain that if you mention their involvment with Konami that you do your research. People often cite things as fact concerning which games they were involved with that are not true.

People often cite things as fact concerning which games they were involved with that are not true. Agreed. I am working on a general overview of their games with a focus on what makes them special (or not so special with certain titles) in addition to some basic information about gameplay/story. I intend to do it in a chronological, serial fashion, beginning with the MegaDrive games, as I need to get a Saturn S-Video cable for screencaps (just got a capture device for this express purpose), as Guardian Heroes follows Alien Soldier & Light Crusader chronologically. I'm not going too in-depth as I want to cover them all, and I will be updating when new games come out, such as this fall's release of Bleach DS 2nd. I have legitimate copies of all of Treasure's games, so I figured I could shed some insight into why they have such a rabid cult following. I also agree that certain games, especially those you mentioned, do deserve their own pages. I would rather see some of those games covered in-depth by someone who has put in the necessary gameplay time. I have played them all a great deal, but am far from expert level on something like Alien Soldier or Ikaruga.

I grabbed it a few weeks ago at a Play Asia sale - seems like a Japanese-style Max Payne homage. 10,000 Bullets is kind of a Japanese Max Payne (Infact I'd describe it as such myself) but it has several abilites per character which help mix things up as well as a Melee fighter, I'd still like to do a review for it if that's okay. Evil Zone is completely and totally brilliant imo, I am a little fanboyish to it I guess (despite the campy voice acting), it's described as a 1 button fighter but that's a misnoma as it uses the direction buttons which a combination of context sensetivity to produce varied attacks. Also the style of the story mode is quite different to a regular story/arcade mode as it presents each fight as a preview like the next epsiode of an anime preview. Characters like Danzaiver and Keiya have resonably funny ones, the former being a power ranger clone and the later being a Dr Phil style psych aid (during his previews).

I'd like to do Bonanza Bros. The games had an arcade, SMS, and Genesis release all around the same time. It'll take me a while to get it up though, given a few connection issues looming ahead of me.

I've been thinking instead of actually attempting the simple 2000 series just put up a different website dedicated to them. That way we could all run through like twice every few months and add new information

I can't find any information on this game. From what I heard it's a really unique horror game from Atlus. Basically you are running from a demon in the tunnels and sewers of Tokyo. You can't fight the demon, he kills you in one hit, you have to run away all the time in the dungeon like areas and you have to listen to the moans of the demon to know from where he is coming.
