DonPachi - No. Replace this. Judging from the 19XX and APB scores from last year, high speed intense bullet shooters simply don't fly with the crowd on this site (no offense). Scoring high on them requires very in depth understand of the underlying score system. Users had a year to play and nobody else broke 1.5 million on either of them. That's why I suggested games with no mechanic more complex beyond shooting the enemy. In that regard probably Rayforce is too much as well, don't use it.
TMNT - The AC version is way too hard imo. Last year's Xmen is the same style, and in the score chart there is a clear split between "people who could beat stage 2" and "people who couldn't beat stage 2". Judging from my experience with this game, this will happen again if you leave it. It's why I suggested an alternative. It doesn't have to be Moonwalker, you could choose Streets of Rage, Double Dragon, heck even the SNES version of TMNT4 would be better.
I do think maze games are (or were) enough of a genre that one should be included. The big one of course Ms./Pac Man, but I don't think we should go for the super obvious choice. I suggested Pac-mania but there are plenty others.
You should get rid of the lightgun category. The mouse isn't really a good substitute, and it's not really a proper way to play the game. If you must leave it in, for the love of god pick something better than Lethal Enforcers, that game was crap the day it came out. Point Blank?
Get rid of the dungeon crawler, or pick another game. Shiren doesn't save and the high score table does not work correctly, making it a totally luck based affair, which is bad. Maybe Gauntlet will work, but it being a coin op game it will be time based, and I don't know if there are any good choices for score. Taloon is really the only kind of game for pure score attack dungeon crawling.
The puzzle games were just suggestions, I haven't played Deblock. I think they are good for contest, without being based random luck or Vs. CPU AI randomness. There's also Puzzle Bobble 1, 2, 3.
Flicky isn't single screen, it'd be more suited to the run and jump category. A single screen replacement would be something more like Bubble Bobble.
Also, percentage scoring is bad. Don't use it, last years style was ideal.
