LaserGun · Post by **LaserGun** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 9:03 am

Progear, Gradius V and Metal Slug 3.

Still trying to 1CC Progear, I think I need a stick (only have a crappy VF4Evo one), this Saturn pad isn't cutting it

Anybody think I should get Raiden III? Sounds like a good game.

All about Raiden 3 for me at the moment. I'm loving STGT08, but as soon as it's over I can't wait to be all over Raiden III like a rash.

Too many other distractions though, with my Fantasy Zone Complete unopened and an Miga 500+ on the way meaning a dig about in cupboards of old...

See you on the high score board Octopod?

Gradius. NES. Yup.

I suck too mate! RIII reminds me of Kyukoko Tiger II in that there's not too many bullets and it doesn't look to tough, but it's inexplicably punishing. I can get to the level four boss on occaision, but I need to give it some more time, since I only really put in two evenings recently. We'll have the bastard yet! I wish I wasn't so busy

You're in London. Get into town as they have Progear at Casino arcade. Even though it's a rough old woody cab, it beats MAME and you get a nice big screen. I 1CC'd it there, and if I can anybody should be able too...

-nomltest
-Out Zone
-東方紅魔郷

-Gran Turismo 2
-Eternal Darkness

edit: Until I bother to/care to (same thing?) get a new MAME version, I am switching Out Zone out for Progear and perhaps some Grind Stormer.
edit2: oh god tower

strangely enough, the only shooter i've played recently is Genocide Circuit 2.

captpain · Post by **captpain** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 5:34 am

Decided to take a break after the DDP 1-all and try to make it through ESP Rade for a bit. It's only a matter of time until I start working on DDP again, though.

papado · Post by **papado** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 9:32 am

Gunbird 2 and Thunderforce V.

Just got a 19XX pcb from this board

This will be comsuming me for a bit...til the Japanese Xbox 360 arrives

DDP, slowly getting better. I just can't figure out how to effing keep the chain going right before the mid-boss by the third and fourth bees, where the first power-ship is located. Been stuck on this for awhile now.

themachinist · Post by **themachinist** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 8:09 am

ESPgaluda PS2 and Strikers 1945 I on MAME. I've been neglecting STGT... oh well.

Radiant Silvergun. It's taking a while to get into, but I'm finding it fun

Back to DDP...

Making it to the last level of the first loop consistently but still failing to actually get over the hump. I'll get it, though.

I've been playing Xexex on mame.

For years i've convinced myself I don't like R-Type style games, yet Xexex is totally awesome.

CSBrokaw · Post by **CSBrokaw** » Sun Oct 12, 2008 8:30 pm

1943 on that Capcom Collection.

Haven't broken 500,000

I stink!

Following a shmup drought (weeks), I popped in Espgaluda for the PS2. Liking this game's scoring system -- very fun and easy to get into. I'll be playing this for a while. My latest top score is 7 million something by Stage 3, so I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Should I bother with tracking down the sequel?

Dodonpachi Dai Ou Jou - PS2

Trizeal - and I'm also playing through Ocarina of Time again for the 4th time.

Battle Garegga. Just got my MAME working again and gave this one a shot not too long ago. It's freaking great. My only question is why the bullets change when you select an alternate color ship (I picked the Napalm).

lgb · Post by **lgb** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 4:54 pm
