Area 88/U.N. Squadron [SFC/SNES]

Thought I might as well open a separate thread for the SFC/SNES version of this game.

One credit only. I'd be more than happy to create different tables for higher difficulty settings, feel free to post your Hard/Gamer achievements if you have them.

My run on Gamer difficulty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXW5xI1qnBc

Wasn't trying to score/milk convoys or anything (very boring), so the score isn't nearly as high as it could be. I was just going for a 1CC. I'm sure I could score much higher and not even beat the game, since the scoring isn't very well thought out in this game.

I saw your video the other day, very exciting to watch, so many close calls and clutch moments! You're definitely right about the grindy nature of scoring in this game, unfortunately this is the case for quite a few shooters during the time period. Awesome replays like yours justify a thread like this, though.

Wow thanks! UN Squadron was one of my favorite shmups as a kid, it's nice to see people still appreciate and play it after all these years.
