----------
Get the game here. There are four versions of the game available: version 1.1 for X68000, the final 2001 update of version 1.1 for Windows, the 2005 Windows version, and the 2017 Windows version. The X68000 versions and the 2001 Windows versions do not have Hard rank.
----------
Post scores in this format:

Code:

RANK
NAME - SCORE - STAGE - AUTOFIRE - VERSION

Pretty sure all current scores are the 2005 version. By the way, if anyone has another version of the game that's not on the site, please let us all know. Preserve it!

Similar to Raiden, stage 0 is the seventh stage in a loop. The explosion you see at the start of stage 1 is actually the stage 0 boss exploding.

Nice to see the hard mode rankings finally get updated. Since we're now taking note of autofire, I did not use it in my run.

Shepardus · **Posted:** Tue Jun 06, 2017 2:13 am

Same with me, I didn't use autofire.

Is it possible that autofire has negative effects on your shots?

I don't see why it would. Since the frequency of shots maxes out really quickly, I don't think you'd get any sort of gaps if you used autofire. The main reason many people don't use autofire is because the rate at which you tap is pretty comfortable compared to other old school shmups. Getting external autofire for CRS68K is more like a convenience instead of a necessity. Autofire users might have actually have a slight advantage stamina wise in long sessions, but it's kind of negligible.

Shepardus · **Posted:** Fri Jun 16, 2017 4:54 am

There's no disadvantage to using autofire, I just didn't because I could never get an autofire button working (MAME's a lot easier provided you have a version with autofire settings...).

Finished stage 0 for the first time since years, not much but better than nothing. Now the fun starts :-)

@ The guys with the TOP scores here: I am very impressed !

Best of luck with the second loop

Not sure if you meant to officially submit that, but I added it anyway.

Just as an FYI, my submitted score was absolutely done with autofire (keyboard play, autofire via AutoHotKey scripting) as I find the game much more enjoyable than mashing through the whole thing.

Zaxdar - 3,635,041 - run ended on stage 2-0 - using most recent 2017 update on windows 7 - autofire used via joytokey (joytokey was also needed for dpad movement rather than joystick) - no paused buffering used

Ignore the version number on the title screen, as the game has been "Version 1.01" for a very long time despite major updates. Did you use the one dated 2005, the one dated 2017, or another version?

M.Knight · Joined: 12 Dec 2013 Posts: 1114 Location: France

It's the 2005 version~

I've spent the past weekend trying to beat my PB from 9 years ago and here it is.

btw, you pretty much want the 2017 version if you have Windows 7 or later.

Whoo, third place.

Kinda makes me curious about how well the 2017 version works on XP...

Been playing a bit of this lately and managed to get a new PB. I had a much better run going when I was playing on my Roommate's PC a few days ago, but I slapped the windows key by accident at the 2-5 boss :[.

Disable your windows key, friends. It's a cruel and worthless button.

Of course, using Windows 8.1 to play that game.
Here is my score anyway:
Normal
Goompaolo9500-5,513,985-2-3-No-W 2017

Died at the Stage 3 Boss of Loop 2 (Stage 2-3 Boss).
I am getting good at it but at least I beat the first loop.

Tip:You would be basically watching your own replay if you don’t do anything at the title screen and even in the high scores screen from the attract mode. (It happens if you did a run.)

maximo - 7,400,393 - 2-5 -No - W 2017

Decided to give this a try over the last couple of days based on a friend's reccomendation. After a frustrating double KO yesterday, I was able to get enough resources for the 2-0 boss this time to bomb-spam past him ( & recover in 2-1). Messed up 2-5 midboss & couldn't recover/gameover'd at 2-5 boss.

I might invest more time once I get an autofire script working & figure out how to record this friggin game w/ obs.

Edit: Using DXWnd/DXVoodoo2, I was able to record my run using the demo playback this game offers

Came back to this for the first time in 4 months for the ongoing Calice Cup PC/Steam Special. I played it pretty safe; first miss was on the 2-5 boss. Still have a lot of work to do for score improvements & tackling Hard.

Came back to this game to finally get the 2-ALL, here's my score for now. I plan to improve it or maybe even try hard mode later, but for now I'm satisfied that I got a clear.

Great job! I did a 2-ALL during Calice too. This game is addicting.

For the record, my old score -- which is very old at this point! -- was done without autofire and using the 2001 version:
