STGT'11 Week 1: Gokujyou Parodius

[dsheinem]

First go at it..

dsheinem - 254,400 - 3 - Mambo - PSP

[Nifty]

Oh I see, the problem was I wasn't using the exact playing mode and ship that the game wanted me to. I don't know why I'm not used to this by now

DoubleThink - 438,700 - 3 - Michael - MAME

[Emuser]

Embarassing death as stage 1 boss left and shot a spare debris thingy at me to get the last laugh, respawn to previous checkpoint, fail to do much after that. Day 1 score, my joystick isn't working anymore so I'm stuck mashing on a usb pad controller till I get it fixed

Regardless though for a stage 1 score I guess this isn't so bad of a start, I guess I'll play stage 1 for extreme scoring and stage 2 onwards for easy stick-to-10000-bells scoring till later in the week.





ResumeDPosition - 308,400 - 1 - Koitsu - MAME

[Hagane]

First time playing this, this is what I got after an hour or so of play



Hagane - 3 - 454600 - Mambo - MAME

Liking it a lot, very Raizing-like. Or, rather, Raizing is very Parodius-like

[Kollision]

Kollision - 336,400 - 1-3 - Koitsu - PS1

Is that slowdown in stage 3 normal?
I looked for a "no wait" option but couldn't find any.

[CptRansom]

Meh.

CptRansom - 348,000 - 3 - Koitsu - MAME

[Deca]

Finally got a score I feel is worth posting, it's a start! I'm kind of torn between Michael and Mambo.

Deca - 548,400 - 4 - Michael - PSP

I died twice at Decoration Core but recovered and made a pretty decent run of it. Ten seconds of Special Stage, give or take.

[t0yrobo]

I've gotta say I'm pretty excited that my progress is (mostly ^^^) in line with everyone else. I'm really liking this one so far.


t0yrobo - 328,300 - 3 - Koitsu - MAME

Aru-san - 572,000 - 3 - Michael - MAME

SPOILER: I can't meda--er, bell chain consistently for crap.

[themachinist]

Which difficulty level is acceptable on PSP? (doesnt say in the OP)

[sikraiken]

For PSP, when you set the options to "Original", it will change everything to what it should be.

Skyline - 601,500 - 3 - Pentarou - Saturn

This is my first time playing the Saturn version, and why is there no soft reset fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

Also, two lives lost on the first boss.

I'm pretty sure most of the Parodius games on Saturn "has a hold a billion buttons at once to exit the current game". I believe it at least involves the shoulder buttons and a bunch of others. I think it even saves your progress, too.
Haven't played this port for years, though. :S

[Skyline]

On my first run, I bit it halfway through Stage 1, and by habit held down all buttons on the arcade stick and pressed start. Nothin'.

[Aguraki]

saucykobold - 1,078,200 - 9 - Koitsu - MAME

so how many stages in this game?
thought 7+1bonus stage?
can someone tell us,multiple people asked already,gradius wikia says 7+1

as far as i can tell, all saturn games soft reset by holding a+b+c and pressing start

ryu - 310,600 - 3 - Koitsu - PSP

kinda pissed. got a random bomb item instead of a bell right in front of the first boss..

[Sumez]

Including the L and R buttons?
I'm sure there's a way, but I'll have to fire up my Saturn tonight to make sure.

May as well put something up for now. God, this really isn't my thing.

[Skyline]

My last run of the night was 1,000 off my best. Time to call it a night.

By the way, I've worked out why soft reset didn't work for me, the damn C button on my stick was broken.

I believe there are 7 normal stages, the moai stage, and then the special stage. Not sure exactly what the deal is with the special stage.
