I remember playing Lords of Thunder for a short time and turned it off because the loud SFX made my ears bleed. Same goes for Sapphire too which is sad. Good job for a clear btw.

I actually really enjoy the cheesy butt-rock soundtrack, plus it was a CD game. Gotta show off this crazy future tech by turning it up to 11!

In honor and celebration for the (very late) 35th anniversary of Gradius series. I cleared every version of Gradius II (Arcade, PC Engine, X68K, NES, PS1 Deluxe Pack port) aggresively with one credit, this took me a day. Large image warning

I think we can say that early reports of this game being "unplayable" are nonsense. I did it with the wireless 8BitDo controller too, which would presumably introduce a little bit more lag on top of the base emulation lag.

This brings my TG16 mini 1CC list to 5: Blazing Lazers, Spriggan, Soldier Blade, Star Parodier, Lords of Thunder.

Nice! Those are all quality titles. Which one did you like the most out of those five?

Soldier Blade would be my top pick, though the variety of options and open-ended level progression of Lords of Thunder put it in a close second. Spriggan gets the nostalgia vote for reminding me of MUSHA 0.0.1, but it’s too broken and exploitable to take seriously.

I got my first R-Type 1CCs in baby ( https://youtu.be/baSTdhpBKiQ ) and kids ( https://youtu.be/3efBKclKFKk ) difficulty with the RX-10 Albatross. And because of course nothing below normal/human really counts I got this 1CC one or two weeks later: https://youtu.be/gaAf5-nFp-o :D

Congrats for R-Type Final 1CCs!

I almost close to clear this game with custom ship (Leo Force DX and Giga Wave Cannon) before I start to forgot enemy patterns at final stage. Game is mostly snoozefest and empty, but the last three main stages are comparable with Delta's best.

Congrats on the clear!

I feel like R-Type Final was pretty close to hitting the mark. The latter stages are definately better than the early ones, with my favorite being the one where you fight the iconic boss from R-Type 1 in the tank.

They had a lot of good ideas and I think the ship collection aspect was really cool, sorta turning the game into a space ship Gran Turismo. I like the branching level design too. And there are lots of cool secrets, like that one stage that only one ship can enter.

There were two things that killed it for me. The music (easily the worst in the series) and the level design. Neither feels quite right.

And coming off the superb R-Type Delta, Final is a bit disappointing. Still a decent game though.

1-ALL of my fav shmup DOJBL! Extend is non-default (7mil and 18mil) but fuck the "always default setting" rule anyway. IIRC my Metal Black ALL was non default with extend change but other than that my clears are default setting.

I beat Super Star Soldier today.

This game, I swear... it looks easy until it isn't. I sunk way too much time into this game and the slightest mistake would sink a run. The back half of the game is rough. I think I just powered through this one on sheer frustration.

Its weird since the audio/video component is quite good (usually an indicator that things will be good elsewhere), but there are some issues like the final boss being impossible of you lose your powerups. I definately wouldn't put this up there with the best of the PC Engine games. It certainly is one of the hardest though. Probably the hardest "compile-esqe" game I've beaten.

Farthest I got on Super Star Soldier is after cystal stage iirc, too many enemies coming from behind, also the checkpoints here are seemingly impossible to recover.

Yeah, stage 6 is where the real bullshit starts. The game needs a new stage 6 and 8. Getting hit from an enemy spawning from the bottom of the screen is never going to be fun. The game is about knowing the right weapons to have and holding on to them, sometimes for long stretches. Honestly, this game has got me thinking about why I play shmups and if its worth it to push through on flawed games. I pretty much pushed through since I was fairly close but I'm not sure I was having fun. I haven't had that feeling before.

Congrats! I've been going through all the shmups on the TG16 mini, and Super Star Soldier is on my "later, like, waaay later" list to even attempt a 1CC.

I suggest to add Salamander on your TG16 play list. This game fixes everything wrong in original arcade game (sharp collision detection, extend system, beatable 4th boss, less bullshit last two stages) in result of port that really blows the original. However this port add checkpoint as trade-off, but trust me, every checkpoints are 100% recoverable even on tightest spot/expert mode.

I tried a credit of that and I died on the stage 2 boss, that specific part seemed tough compared to the arcade version (less room to move).

That's a good thing though. Tetran dies in a seconds in original arcade. Tetran is nasty on Expert mode but possible to no-miss.

I think the best are the five Level 2's and 6 which are the ones with the most stage boundaries. (Level 3 would feel even better if it would run two times faster). I dont think 5 and FA are that strong but shurely ok. 4 is a bit too simple too. But really, 6 is soo awesome. Could get in the top 3 of R-Type stages.

There is really so much to see in this game. Sadly playing it over so much hours the most empty stages 1 and 3 feel so tiring...
I dondt know about the music. I think it woks well for the game and its mood but some are just too bland.

Haven't played through Thunderforce III in about 20 years, so I dug into it on the Megadrive mini. I had forgotten my route, so it took me a day or two to pull off the 1CC, but once you get rolling with a shield and full weapons it's a pretty easy game. I still prefer this one over IV, even though IV is one of the best-looking games on the system.

Hello once again, everyone! :)

As of a couple hours ago today, I got my 1st ever No Miss, 1 Bomb 2-ALL of Gunbird 2! :D I even managed to beat Zil's best Gunbird 2 score, which was, incidentally, 3,770,500! :) I am now the new overall community record holder for Gunbird 2 here! :mrgreen:

I played as Tavia for this one, in-case anyone was curious about that.

Thank you, ACSeraph and Jonpachi! :D It was quite the ride for me in Gunbird 2, let's just say, but it's lead up to this moment. :)

I see. Hmm, which parts specifically in Gunbird 2 might you be struggling at, if you don't mind me asking, of course? I can give you some tips that I think could probably help you out in Gunbird 2, if you like me to. :)

I'd say, for starters, speaking in a general sense, the way I do the 1st loop in my latest Gunbird 2 video (The NM1B one) is a good one to watch and use as a reference, since I do everything in the 1st loop as easy as possible without using bombs at all (I No Miss, No Bomb the 1st loop in my latest Gunbird 2 video).

I haven't made a post on here in ages but I started to get back into shmups a few months ago and managed to finally 1cc Gradius III Arcade a few weeks ago. This was the final game in the series I needed to clear and is the one shmup accomplishment I am most proud of. I had a horrible choke in the last level the day before this run and was extremely nervous once I got past the boss rush.

GAWDS! Finally!!! Another small achievement in the grand scheme of things but a HUGE personal win for me. I was visibly shaking when facing the last phase of the last boss.

Got my 1cc on Mushi Maniac 1.0!! I can finally move on to another game!!!

I remember that when I started playing shmups a few months ago I thought to myself that I'd never, ever, be able to get this. Guess these 40~50hrs on it really paid off.
I suck at these games but I do enjoy them.

1-ALL of Donpachi to 2-2. My first arcade 1cc outside of Armed Police Batrider Normal course. A bad score, but a huge weight off my shoulder.

Maybe someday I'll try the second loop or different ships but I'm very pleased with this for now.
