Forgot to mention in the old thread... Congratulations on topping both Ruldra's and saucykobold's score! you're quite the dark horse.

[richter3456]

Thanks. Truth is, I was never intending on topping their scores. I didn't even know there was a R-Type III hi score thread. My goal was to just beat the game without losing, just so I can say that I 1LC'd it. I lost in the later levels and well... if I couldn't 1LC it then a 1CC should suffice. I treaded on and next thing I knew I was on the second loop, completely unaware I had a high score. Good thing I took a snapshot.

High score thread goes to richter3456 and life goes on.

[Mero]

Indeed.

Until Despatche or someone else takes over Ruldra's old threads then they're still up for grabs. What's written in his sig means nothing.

Congrats on the new thread richter3456

After playing this game almost every day of the week, I finally hit the one million mark and did a clean run through the first loop. The second loop was harder, but on my last life... I managed to beat the whole stage and the final boss. This is my score before the extra 100,000 was added for beating the final boss. So my actual score was 1,217,940.

Great score Richter! Congrats!

In the part where the last boss's arms are flying all over the place...do they fly in a set pattern or are they completely random? I find that part to be very tough to survive.

[richter3456]

I found the final boss himself to be pretty easy, but the part where he disassembles his arms and they chase you around the screen is really annoying. It's hard because you have to dodge, and damage his arms at the same time. I don't think they have a specific pattern... some of the arms chase you, but some of them just go randomly all over the screen. You just have to sort of predict where they will go next. To be honest, I had to use the pause button once or twice to be able to see in which direction they will shoot next.

Shit score, but I'll enjoy my place in the rankings until saucy sums up the willpower to clear it again. (I finally made it!!)

ChainsawGuitar - 657,660 - Stage 8 - Round

[CIT]

CIT - 655,710 - Stage 10 - Cyclone



Very frustrating game, I'm just glad I cleared it now!


Two R-Types down, four more to go...

Perikles - 1,147,170 - 11 - Round

This was unexpected. I just tried to re-familiarize myself with the game and got further than ever before. Now I'm thirsty for the (2-)ALL!
