Not that difficult actually! Get up close and shoot everything in the face. You know, like you usually do.

I believe, in God!
It is just videogames involved after the 1999 with the Antichrist. King of Terror. Third Antichrist.
Michel de Nostredame naczka reversal Mitchell Corporation. Kouichi Yotsui with Osman/Cannon Dancer means Third Antichrist. There is (Samurai) Zombie Nation, STG Horizontal, which along with Nostradamus, STG Vertical, means King of Terror. Naczka (Samurai) Zombie Nation to Gun.Smoke - Cutter Boomerang and Saint Trio. (Ninja Darts, Master Winchester and V-V, Vi Faibu).
Kirin (Kirrin) rules the world by unknown year, though.

You are reading about games based on Nostradamus' prophecy.

Well, since I've grown a bit more interested in Face's output since a few posts about Metal Stoker elsewhere, at least the bumping of this topic is fortuitous. Have to see which versions of my MAMEs support the game now...

Who me?

Best I got was 3 mil + stage 7 (of 9), but I had to leave the PCB in the UK rather than carry it back to China. After seeing the Superplay and further discussion on the subject of auto fire, I figured it was best to actually try using AF than not - but I didn't have the hardware to set that up before I left.

I really like the game though and I'd recommend folks glean some of the info in this thread and give it a whirl.

Fantastic! One of very few 1cc's available. When I bought the superplay that was my only recourse to a decent run.

Did you use autofire?

Nah, no sweat, that seems to be the way to go with this one.
