3 lives, extends at 400K and 800K, difficulty 5. No version differences known. Please note if you used the Rolling mode.
----------
Post scores in this format:

Code: Select all

NAME - SCORE - STAGE - AUTOFIRE - DETAILS
DETAILS is for what model of console and release of cart/disc, or what emulator and version. Remember that for CPS1/2 games, you'll probably want to put the whole program date if there are multiple releases for a region. I'm especially curious about the updated US version.

Good to see the score thread in your capable hands, this game is excellent and deserves more activity. It's a bit sad that you'll have to milk for extended periods of time for a high score (see below), the sheer ingenuity and execution are nonetheless more than enough to make up for it. I milked ever so slightly for I figured I might as well go for the first place while I'm at it ( :mrgreen: ), but it only lasts for a handful of minutes in total. I'll add this to my honourable mentions list, Capcom made several astounding shmups, certainly one of the most underappreciated developers (at least as far the classic branch of the genre is concerned).*
Seahawk wrote:Don't waste time taking apart midbosses and bosses piece by piece - destroy the main part as fast as possible.

It's advantageous for both your score and difficulty to blow through everything as fast as possible.
This is unfortunately incorrect. It is true that the stage clear bonus is dependent on the time spent during the boss fight, but this only applies to the very last phase/section. E.g. you could milk every phase of the huge battleship in stage 5 except for the very last stretch against the mech and still reap those 80,000 points. It's quite a shame, really.

The link above leads to the Kyuukyoku Tiger/Twin Cobra score thread instead of the old Ultimate Ecology thread, by the way. :)

*I will confess that I'm disappointed in Wonder 3 - Chariot, though. Cleared it while uploading the Ultimate Ecology video, talk about squandered potential! Outstanding art direction, neat allusion to Dragon Breed's protective tail, some reputable bosses, but no real framework and a terribly random scoring system. I understand that it's just one part of the overall triptych, it's nevertheless disheartening.

Welcome back :D

Also newer versions of MAME have support for Forgotten Worlds style spinners.

Oops, accidentally copied the KT link, fixed. Forgot about the new spinner support, added a note for it. Is it worth splitting over?

There are a few scores without, I wouldn't be opposed to a split.

Thanks for letting me know. Far as I'm aware, there are no regional differences in gameplay, but who knows.

Not sure what's up with my initials on the score entry screen, must have forgotten to enter them. I remember getting to the last phase of S6 boss on this, couldn't quite get into S7 but had a better score than the first time I made it to S7.
