I've had good luck using the options to destroy the missles. When the boss gets behind you, move to the opposite side of the screen from where he is. After a missle is launched, deploy your option away from the side of the screen and in front of you, angled toward the missle. If you are using the cannon option, it will usually be able to destroy the missle, otherwise the missile will usually collide with the option if you are using machine gun or cannon. This doesn't really work with the rocket option since it has limited homing capactiy and disappears too quickly.

#3: This is to show you exactly why you died. It's a normal function of the game.

so there is really supposed to be an Intro sound? teh rest of the game is fine, but only the intro sound is missing

anyways, i im not getting that "please restart" screen anymore... i guess it was,.. i dunno, getting used to the disc?

Ok.. you're talking about the attract mode? That is silent. When you said title screen, that threw me off as there is the confirm credit noise when you hit start there.

Is it just me, or does the boss music on the first level have a riff that sounds just like The Beastie Boys' 'Lighten Up'? Every time I play the game I get that damn BB song in my head.

This game really reminds me of the Layer Section/Ray series, having to constantly keep your eye on the bullets coming at you from tanks on the ground. I'm having hella fun with UD though. I made it the 4th stage boss last night!

In case anyone wants to know (probably will down the line) the DC print of Under Defeat reportedly saw around 10,000 copies.

Was posted about already, but great news indeed!

A shmup, for Dreamcast no less, selling this well hopefully gets the message across to all dev's ignoring the genre and platform!

I took a gamble... didn't want to read through the thread.

I heard rumors about Border Down seeing 5,000 or so. Wish I could find a solid source for that.

just got it yesterday, and played it for a little over an hour. so far i think its great! the explosions look amazing and the bullits are very easy to see, even when theres a lot of smoke and fire (unlike another recent shmup cough ibara cough) also, i like the way the ship rotates around, sorta like a simple version of ZG2. all in all a great addition to the dreamcasts library, but whats with the dvd case?

Border Down should have sold 5k for the regular edition and 3k for the LE, or viceversa. I think it also sold out pretty quickly, but i'm not sure about this.

What I'd like to know is how G. Rev feels about the so far success of Under Defeat, and how well it's selling. If anyone comes across any comments by G. Rev themselves, please post!

A second print of Border Down filtered out too, but I have no clue how many were made.

the DC is sat on top of the amp , its just cause the DC is black and you cant see it very well

Hey Trevor, how is that Toshiba set? It's an A-series, right? I've been looking at those.

Is that really good to put the DC on the Amp?

Gah! The last boss is driving me crazy!!! Half the time the rocket doesn't end up going down the barrel. I need to watch the video again. I really love this game up to the final boss, but I just feel the thing is a big turd!

I`ve got the same problems with Level 5-Boss.Is that the last one?
Where can i download gameplay vids to see the boss fight?I can`t believe how strong it is,i use rockets often i can and let bombs go down-no success.The timer reached 10 seconds ago i die...damned

louisg · Post by **louisg** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 4:08 am

I've had good luck using the cannon with the final boss. What I *don't* have good luck with is dodging the reverse blast =) I didn't know you could fit a rocket down the barrel!

Go into practice mode and choose "load replay". there's videos of all the levels already there for you. After you beat the game you get some more replays demonstrating advanced techniques as well.

TheSickboy · Post by **TheSickboy** » Sun Apr 02, 2006 7:14 am

Anyone know how you save your own replays?

One-credited the game, yesterday. Practicing the Level 3 boss was definitely the key.
