Got ASO 2. Alphabet Soup: the Shmup. The game didn't even let me see my score so it can't be good.

I love that you got this.
I'm a fan.
The B items on the ground are 1,000 point bonus items; floating B items are bombs. Not sure what emulator you're using, but if you're interested I can look at my settings and let you know what I've used (I've played in Anex and TI-98).
The two ships on the far right (Jupiter and... Saturn, I think?) are head and shoulders above the others in terms of scoring and survival. There might as well not even be a choice.
Good, because I have soo many questions.
I actually ran into your 2-all while digging for the images, didn't notice it was yours though, should've gone back to it and watched before popping my credit. Good stuff.
Ok, so if B is for "Bonus", what about the E? Extend?
And then there's all those small bonuses I don't understand. One occasion I remember is the last section of St1 with the big ships climbing the screen. Sometimes get 5k for destroying them but sometimes not. It seems the one coming from the middle must be destroyed on the upper part of the screen to give 5k, but I'm not sure abut the others nor about other countless times a 5k just popped on my screen.
As for the ships, Mars is the one I best perform with for some reason. Dying with it past stage 1 is not funny, but I find it performs quite wonderfully when fully powered up. Other than that the second player 2 ship and the one you used on your run are quite interesting to play.
Only thing I don't really like about the game so far is that the item collection hitbox seems to be a bit small. I end up grazing a lot of powerups because of that.
I'm playing on Neko Project2/fmgen through WINE. Will try Anex and TI-98 later. I think it's just the clock setting, around 80MHz seems to run smoothly but I think it's slower than it should, around 110~130 it will run a bit faster but with some annoying speed jumps.
And really, if this game is inspired by Raiden, why the hell haven't I played any Raiden yet .
