Got the Cleopatra on my third credit, can't seem to get it again all evening

Good job CHI !
Now the infinity area.

^Thanks nii-san
But the game is frustrating

Edit: do you have any tips

Well, the best advice is to memorize the sequence of enemies, while controlling the game map. I much use diagonals to go faster. I have not seen your game, and I don't know if you sacrifice lives on the line bonus of 80,000 points. If so, it is an error. It is better to have many lives for the most difficult places and thus have the opportunity to end the cycle of enemies and to find the 2nd cleopatra.
Luck !!

Thanks for the advice, i'll give myself a week to get the second cleopatra
I only remember the first half of the enemy sequence, most of the time i'm trying to remember the game map... No i don't sacrifice on the line bonus, sometimes i get lucky and get 80k x3 but most of the times i trying to dodge just to get one 80k

Arcade



Perikles - 3,943,900 - ON

Vengeance is mine! After all these years. Felt really good to finally fell this foul beast, it certainly put up quite the fight. I will admit, however, that even the sinister trio of tough oldies (Exed Exes, Gun.Smoke, Star Force) - all of which I gave up on years ago - got nothing on Argus...

I suggest different tables for the FC and NES versions since the NES version has quite a few changes from the FC version.

I also noticed the default difficulty for MAME is easiest (which is still far from easy), but the default for Wii is Medium. Going by the home ports and how "medium" is actually insanely hard, I'm guessing "easiest" is the actual default difficulty. The modes past easiest have odd patterns in the AC Star Force.

I've fixed my PCB board so now I can play this wonderful little game again

PCB (arcade)
MJR - 587'300 - Auto OFF

This was my first attempt in more than 10 years I used to have much more than that, but I have no recordings of these. So lets start from the scratch!

New attempt:

PCB (arcade)
MJR - 1'010'800 - Auto OFF - M-area (12)

Arcade ( MAME)
maximo - 1,892,400 - Auto ON - Nu (Area 13)
