Dragon Names

1p side
  • Red cyvern (1) = Altair
  • Cyan cyvern (2) = Schwarz
  • Green cyvern (3) = Ferious
2p side
  • Purple cyvern (1) = Veqa
  • Orange cyvern (2) = Vais
  • Yellow cyvern (3) = Serene
It should be noted that the second player cyverns play exactly like their player one counterparts... therefore Altair == Veqa, and so on.

Playing Cyvern in MAME:
The Super Kaneko Nova System BIOS (it should be named skns.zip, and it's not hard to find at all) must be downloaded and placed in the rom directory/folder for the Cyvern ROM (which should be downloaded seperately, of course) to work. Thanks to AWJ for pointing this out in another thread.

I'd like to thank you Battletoad for bumping this thread and making me discover this amazing game.

I mean... DRAGONS :shock:

endoKarb - 1,236,890 - 1-2 - Vais

Zero effort went into making this score. I'm too busy with DS atm, but I'll be back for more eventually.

You're welcome! This is an awesome game indeed. Now that I'm finished with the time-consuming Shenmue (2nd time to play it, 1st time I finished it... hooray for me) and MDK2 (once again, still the best game ever [almost]), I should also get serious with Cyvern again. Long-term goal: 1-ALL with 10 million. If I'm lucky or good enough, it may not even take that long. Hope I can get back into it quickly, my first runs back in business were rather rough and half-decent.

Is auto-fire circuit allowed? It wasn't turn up all the way :lol:

Decided I wasn't keen on using the auto-fire circuit, so I stopped using it and put the game in my astro instead of the blast city. Lost the medal chain on 2-3, but I'm extremely happy with this score. :D

Died in stage 5 against the refight against the stage 2 boss. This game has some insanely hard bosses but it's balanced by the fact that you can get a ridiculous number of extends. First time I didn't break my medal chain in stage 4, but sadly I broke it in stage 5 so I didn't quite reach the 6 mil extend. I did well partly because I was bombing the crap out of the stage 3 and stage 4 bosses.

BareKnuckleRoo (previous entry is BKR) - 5,802,930 - 1-5 - Ferious

I've also got some shittier scores with the other dragons. It seems like it's either the stage 4 boss or the stage 2 boss refight I die at.

BareKnuckleRoo - 5,592,330 - 1-5 - Schwarz

Nice 1 ALFARABI,

That ST2-4 Boss can be a Show-Stopper. Its the make or break moment of the game.

Thanks DEL :D

Indeed, the ST2-4 is a kind of step to accomplish the 2 ALL and I just died at this point on that run, I just needed a little bit of banish to blast him but he killed me...

dink - 10728550 - 2-ALL - Ferious (emu: fbalpha)

now I need to work on my score, but this is the first time I beat the game on one coin. \o/
Those long/line bullets in the neo-Tokyo level(4) on the green trucks and red tanks always seem to get me, it was nothing but sheer luck that I got past all 3 waves of them this time.

Good job !

But you can get more than that if you take some risks of course, just collecting 10 k medals and even if you are not looking for any 100 k medals...

Just try to keep the 10 k medals chain ;)

After a break of 3 months, clearing Ketsui and starting playing Galuda for the onecc, I just increased my old score after 3 days :


Image

ALFARABI - 14 743 840 - 2.4 - Serene

Died in the firt pattern of Stage 2.4 ( no points at all in this stage ), then I was a little bit disapointed :( about it but I think it´s a good think for my next score, that I have all this 2.4 stage to make appear many medals :-)

Nice1 ALFARABI.
Your score board looks like mine. A gradual steady increase. You'll get there soon. Try to keep the lives up high. This game doesn't need rank-taming.

Thanks for the advise DEL :)
Well I start the second loop with 6 lives sometimes, but I lost many of them on the beginning of 2.4...
Too many suicides on this level, even on the middle boss to get the 100 000 pts medal !
I need a new strategy to go forward, maybe I need to score less on this level and keep more lives :)
