I meant to reply to this but I didn't, sorry.

Yeah, sorry about that rmg, I should have believed you. My calculation was off. If you say you can start from level 80, then that means the longest play could have been up to level 89 dying on the boss's last gasp. Which means 90 levels (89 - 0 + 1) times 1.8 million, and therefore ... 16.2 mil or more. My 1.8 million per 10 level is just a guesstimate, and probably a little low for an average, based on my own (limited) experience.

In other words, OMG you rock!

That's cool with me, but could you please "order" the tables by difficulty?

Practice-Extreme-Hard doesn't sound right

(sorry for nitpicking)

None of my other scores are worth posting.

Some new scores to fill up the tables...

Lock - Hard - 2,847,210

Roll - Practice - 8,270,430
Roll - normal - 4,525,210
Roll - Hard - 3,459,930

Practice mode demands concentration; the slower pace and fewer bullets make it very easy to think about something else for minutes at a time.

piyo · Post by **piyo** » Sun Feb 20, 2005 11:46 am

First off, sorry gs68 for not posting your score in the table earlier.

And yeah, DeSangre, the order of the tables is fixed. It was humor.

I know what you mean, but I "daydream" even in Extreme. For some reason, I am just reacting to the game and start thinking about random stuff, like what I should be doing when not playing the game, what to buy when I get to the store, etc. I feel like I'm multitasking somewhat. I like Parsec47 like that.

Does anyone else feel that way too?

By the way, I think my roll - Hard score is 3,459,930, not 2,847,210... I suck enough as it is

, losing one million points is tough on the ego

All joking aside, the table is getting along pretty well. There are such few Parsec 47 scores on the internet, it is nice to see competition. I hate playing a scoring game without knowing scoring "standards"; I like to know to what extent I suck.

Woops! I must have messed up! Sorry.

I corrected it.

Haven't been playing this much lately, but today I had this marvelous run where everything came together for just a few minutes, and it just felt effortless. But that never lasts...

I finally beat my old score

BUHA

Roll - Hard - 7,904,760 - EDIT: parsec 52 (sorry)

nothing compared to most of you guys, but I'm satisfied for now!

proof:

G-zeiger · Post by **G-zeiger** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 3:40 am

3,956,910 Roll Extreme

And get this: I beat my score with -nowait ! This was the first time I tried this option(it removes the slowdowns). I guess the added difficulty made me focus harder.

piyo · Post by **piyo** » Fri Apr 08, 2005 2:46 pm

Good job fellas! I updated the score board, as usual.

Sadly, I've been playing this pretty regularly for about half a year. It seems like I should be lots better by now.

I updated the score boards with Andi's score. Thanks and good job!

As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters. Although you could try other games to "stretch" your shmup experience. Maybe it could change your perspective? For example, there's that "new" free PC shmup game nomltest which is (only remotely) similar to Parsec47. I give it a thumbs up.

Oh yeah, nomltest is the bomb game. I can't touch your score there.

Here are my high scores thus far. I use a keyboard, and play with the default settings.
Normal- Roll- 6 193 750
Normal- Lock- 4 893 970

I'm unsure of exact parsec numbers. I'd guess around I made it to parsec 40 for the roll score, and around parsec 30 for the lock score.
Hopefully I'll have some decent "hard" scores to post in the near future.
