Gunhed/Blazing Lazers [PCE/TG16]

Post by Perikles »

With professor ganson's permission, a new thread shall be opened! The previous one can be found here: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?t=10332

There are no regional differences between Gunhed and Blazing Lazers as far as I'm aware, so a single table will suffice.

One credit only, of course.

Please post your scores like in this example:

A couple deaths in the final gauntlet... if you die before the final opponent (without instant respawn) in the boss rush leading to the final boss, yeah, good luck with the checkpoint there.

I thought the way continues or checkpoints worked was different between blazing lasers and gunhed?

I actually tried to play the arcade version of this game to record a video, but the result is horribly stretched and thus unwatchable. My arcade score is also higher than this one and would be first place, but I'm a console loyalist and will favour these when given a choice. Image

I'm not convinced of this difficulty setting, by the way. It can be summed up as pre-shield resource management. Some parts are almost identical to the regular difficulty (stage 4 for example), but every turret or similar static enemy (like the pyramids or moais) will litter the screen with bullets. If you have to deal with a cluster of these you will need either a shield to tank the damage or use a bomb to get through, tertium non datur. That's pretty poor design.

Nonetheless, God of Game is obviously the single best way to name your highest difficulty setting, more games should do that!

Sorry for the mega bump.

Isn't the arcade version just some jank half-bootleg anyway? Pretty sure the HuCard is the real deal.

God of Game is completely silly. I can't believe a company like Compile would stick something like that in a real product.

I don't know about the provenience/background of the arcade version, but it is extremely faithful to the PCE version, I couldn't spot any difference between the two whatsoever. The aspect ratio is also fine while you play, it's just that whenever you directly record or play back an .inp that you receive a grotesquely deformed video for some reason. Not that it's a huge loss.

Agree on God of Game. The balance is extremely uneven and favours resource management more than anything else, which doesn't seem to be what they were trying to achieve, yet ended up happening anyway.

I know OP is gone but here's a score I did some time ago, if whoever eventually takes over the thread doesn't want to include it it's no big deal.
