The second Damocles implyed that not many people enjoy this game I knew I had to try it.

Dale-5,600-Mame-(1-1)

The rom I got from Emucation doesn't work right so I didn't play it much(died right away) seems like fun though I'll get a better version soon.
I did great so much water and milk that I threw up when I was little.

Dave_K. - 1,021,700 - Stage 6?

Just got this PCB (hence the new avatar), and was really jazzed I was getting so far playing this on my first day. Until I come here and see people looping it 3 times. Figures. Anyway, my pcb has dipswiches 4+5 in bank 2 flipped on, which turn on autofire and turn off checkpoint restarts. I can't imagine playing this without these. Rest are default.

Pretty easy game. I was expecting it to loop infinitely but it ends after 3 loops (24 stages).

Ruldra: Are you playing in MAME? I've been wanting to try this one out for a while but the graphics (as of 0.135) are broken something horrible and the sound as well (WHOOMP WHOOMP WHOOMP WHOOMP).

p.s. the dude in Dave K's avatar is girly. (I've known it was from this game for a long while but as I haven't had any chance of playing in MAME I've refrained from saying anything, heh heh.)

Yeah I played in MAME. Emulation is far from perfect but it's playable, just turn off the speakers.

Continuous play is on, rapid fire is on.

MAME can emulate the game a lot better now; I'm not supposed to be playing this, but I think I will at least loop it. Taking a liking to it, neat game.

What exactly is the "Fortress Destroyed" bonus? Does it mean that, in a 2-player game, whichever player destroys the boss gets the 10,000?

CHI - 7,829,200 - 3-8/stage 24 - Auto Off (not an All :cry: )

i had this score over a year ago but just came across this picture while going through my old hard drive... also, i believe this is 'Air Assault' version when the troc was still open, any differences? :roll:

edit: the PCB did not have auto fire... so you could imaging how painful to go through this game :evil:

Presumably Air Assault was some kind of world release. Unless I'm wrong, this game was marketed as a sequel to Air Duel somehow. Doubt there are any differences, but...

How does the PCB not have autofire? Isn't it just a dipswitch?

you could be right :P
if Fire Barrel and Air Assault is the same game, i wouldn't mind taking top spot :wink:
i guess they probably had the auto fire switched OFF :!:
well, now the arcade in the troc has closed down, need to find another way to play this game...

Wow, how'd you get all those points before the 3rd round clear bonus? No-missing the game and grabbing all the items would only get me around 7.7 million. The world records are at 11+ so there's some tricks out there I can't figure out. Is there a boss that doesn't time out that can be milked or something?

as i recall, i started getting 5k (max power points) on stage 3 and onwards... i remember trying to kill everything on every stage, also i remember killing the final boss on stage 24 but i also died from a stray bullet... i might have got the 3rd round clear bonus but i'm not too sure, plus i did not know this game only did 3 loops, probably DEL or Mills could share some light on this :roll:

If you got the third-round clear bonus then it would be an ALL and the score would make more sense, but I just did a save-state run where I no-missed, no-bombed the game, grabbing every item, killing nearly every enemy (a few went by on stage 6 I think) and milking the stage 4 boss three times and I still only cleared the game with 8 million.

Are there checkpoints on the PCB and not on the emulated version?

Javel - 1,935,900 - 11 (2-3)

So are we playing with checkpoints or not? I didn't fiddle with any settings or dip switches. The mame defaults were autofire off, no checkpoints, extend every 300k (or something...).

Is the 3rd loop any harder than the 2nd?

no checkpoints as i recall...
as stated on my post, it was 'Air Assault' with autofire off... so there might be a diference :!:
back then, my intentions playing this game was out of boredom, trying to loop as much as posible, most of my points came from stage 5, destroying things from left to right, i never tried milking anything but only to destroy everything :twisted:
all i remember is killing the final boss on the 3rd loop and dying right after that... (like i said before, i never knew this game had only 3loops)
funny thing is, now i'm stuck in between this question... do i All it cos i destroyed the final boss or do i leave it as Stage 24 cos i also died before the game ended :?: :!: :idea:
shame that the Troc closed down, i would love to record myself playing this again and compare the differences :cry:

There is a special 4th loop of AIR ASSAULT (or fourth Empire as stated on ending credits) but very few players have actually done it. Japanese gamer SHIN (those of you know of him being virtually unbeatable on VIRTUAL FIGHTER 2,3, Streetfighter 2 (modified speeded up version). Can't quite remember the conditions of 4th looping Air Assault but you definitely had complete all 3 loops with 1st life, not sure about no use of bombs or switching to different main shot weapon like the most popular green wide shot weapon.
Might have to research that one CHI.

Play in 2P side, this is the secret. No 4th loop, are 3 loops only.
