might revise my earlier post.. this game is unfair as hell.. starting to hate it more than lovin it actually. And the part that it actually gets more and more difficult EVERY f*cking try you make if you dont reboot the whole cab makes me furoius.. cant practice even.. god damn it, might as well sell all RF games since I still cant get past stage 3 boss.. after months of playing I aint never seen stage 4. hatin rf..

Raiden Fighters has that sort of thing? I've only heard of that with Battle Garegga and Armed Police Batrider. The bullet speed is pretty insane after triggering the special medals though.

Raiden Fighters doesn't have that mechanic. The game is always the same with each credit.

Hahaha :) it has that mechanic... trust me.
After like 10 credits I can't even get past first stage without dying. Shots getting super fast and even the first enemies shoots several shots . Then I must restart the game and everything gets slow again.

I am using US pcb/cart

Is that a version difference for US perhaps? Do you have a video of it?

Sounds interesting.

Sorry man, aint got no video of me failing 10 times in a row but it most defenitely has something going on because it gets harder and harder and finally I need to reboot the cab and then it suddenly gets back to normal and feels "easy" :). try it in mame, should behave the same. choose US version.

Which of the japanese versions is to prefer? I find 3... "earliest, earlier, newer".. the newer set seems to use bigger roms?

here is a video efter a couple of tries. Sorry for the bad quality, but hard to film and play at the same time :S

Stage 1 - Forest

Check the third wave of enemies, they all shoot, and the rest of the level is the same. all shoot bullets and I constantly die because I didnt anticipate the new bullets.

It makes it soooo much harder that the enemies that previously didnt, starts to fire bullets.. and they are slow so usually I crash into them when trying to get medals because they arent usually any bullets there :/
