Pah - I just can't do well in the second level. I think the truth is that despite the brilliant design and humour, I'm not sure I really like it. Not that it's bad - it's just not my thing. Playing is feeling like a bit of a chore, and that's never good for a lovely high score...

That would be "Lightening Force". That reminds me, are there any differences between the two, Coop?

Outside of the title sequence lettering, the 99 ship code, and a few wording changes during the ending epilogue (all of which were done to the US version), not really.

Ok..... my current score for this:

-Bridget- 370,210 1-4


2 things are bothering me about this one....


Firstly, what I call the "Psikyo curse".... in that for whatever reason, my eyes dont wanna track yellow/orange bullets half the time. I dunno why. I need the bright neons of Cave's games..... Well, any color that ISNT orange/yellow seems to do fine. Doesnt help that I dunno where the hitbox is.


But the big one that annoys me is the screwball thing with the items..... who thought that up? The items dont scroll left/right along with the movement of the camera as you go left and right. Everything ELSE scrolls.... but the items strictly move within the frame of the screen only.... this led to a buncha deaths due to attempts to grab something whose movement didnt make a lick of sense.

The big powerdown after any death is also obnoxious, but I always say that about any game that does it *cough* Gradius *cough*.


Not a bad game at all, I think...... But like many Psikyo titles, I probably wont be getting much further than this, simply due to the bullets.

Sorry to pipe in :oops: , but was there a Zing Zing Zip HiSc thread prior to this? If not, can this be turned into a long-term one? (after the Comp).

I am so glad this game is over with now. The bullets were hard to see at first, but even after getting used to their color, I still found myself asking "What the hell hit me?". It gives you plenty of bombs, and I was able to get to stage 3 without dying or using more than a couple bombs. But man... this game just wasn't fun in my opinion.

That, and I was tired of being told to cum on Shelby Green.

I'm not gonna turn this into the high score thread, but someone else feel free to start up a high score thread and use the scores from here for great justice.

I'll update and stuff in a few hours. Need to eat.
