Tatsujin is one of those MD games that uses a single multi-region cart, that changes between versions depending on what region the system is. Most just install a region switch on real hardware.

It's not a very good score, I know.

Truth be told, I haven't developed a good strategy to beat the last boss - especially with max ranking. I can no-miss stage 5, but that bastard always gets me.

Just had the best credit I've ever had on this game by a mile (mid stage 4 with 4 lives in stock) so I figured I'll make my first appearance here. I love this game

After a handful of absolutely miserable credits I managed to no miss up to stage 3 for the first time ever (getting the 2-up of course) and I made it to the stage 4 boss.

Still love the game but it would be great if I could stop dying on stage 1

So up until today I was using a relatively low autofire rate so as to simulate what I could normally do without autofire but without killing my wrists. After getting owned repeatedly by stage 1 and 2 minibosses and the game started being not fun, today I decided fuck it and cranked that sucker up to max, and got this:

I got pretty well into stage 5 and I have no qualms finishing the game this way :p

Swapped to Truxton a while back and got my clear last night

Truxton
mycophobia - 1335890 - 208 - Yes - MAME v.0197

I actually had a higher scoring non-clear (reached the last miniboss with eight lives in reserve so I got to kill them a lot) but I didn't want to submit that.

want to get the 2-ALL eventually (or better) but first I have to consistently not lose all my lives on 1-5

This is possibly my favourite Toaplan game. I'm definitely going to revisit this one in the future.

had a near-flawless loop 1, game over right after 2-2 boss. the difference in difficulty between loop 1 and 2 matters less and less the further I get, I've found. like it's there, but it's not as meaningful as it is in 2-1, like my 1-2 route mostly works for 2-2 as well.

Hit 2-5 for the first time. Finally figured out how to handle 2-1 effectively, so the rest is falling into place

first 3-ALL, very nearly a 4-ALL. biggest obstacle to 10mil is stage 5 recovery. once I get those checkpoints nailed down it should be in the bag

Mad respect myco. That's some serious dedication to crushing this game. I guess you really are the Tatsujin now. 8)

I started learning this one a few months back, but never seriously delved into it until recently. About time I looped it.

Yeah watched some of this congrats on the marathon run.

Scores wise you could have definitely reached higher if you take some risk with the high scoring stages.

Well done mycophobia. The 7 loop 10mil+ should now be a formality. :D

If I can find a way to record this, I would like to post a 1st loop, no miss, no bomb run with Max firepower. Or potentially see if I can repeat this in the arcade PCB version at HOG if they have the board.

1cc, no miss no bomb. Will record the entire run when I get consistency with Stage5 two Blue mid-level bosses.

Woo, I still know how to play it. I'll come back to it and try for a 2-ALL at some point.
