Haven't played this for ages, but now I just purchased the original PCB complete with marquee and manuals - look out for scores in the "arcade difficulty" board in the near future
Finally! After all this time I managed to loop Alpha into Bravo, destroying my previous score in the process. Time to reclaim the number 2 spot for Alpha! I'm still upset that I was only 5k short of breaking 9mil though. I don't think I'll be able to repeat this for a long time, I'm exhausted

NTSC-J:You know STGs are in trouble when you have threads on how to introduce them to a wider audience and get more people playing followed by threads on how to get its hardcore fan base to play them, too. 1CCs | Twitch | YouTube
Today marks the first time I've ever 1CCed anything in an arcade game.
atro city - 757,920 - 1-0 (c) - 2P - PCB
Garbage score but I don't care, I'm taking that W. Fun fact, the score below it was me switching the buttons, wasting a bomb, and ending the credit immediately. Apparently that took a lot of "Guts" and I ended up with 300K points. Gotta love Raiden DX scoring.
Nice astro, Raiden DX is an insanely difficult game.
I was putting quite a lot of time into the original Raiden a month back going for the 1CC, but its such an arse-kicker I lost interest, need to get back on that.
Thanks, I'm also hoping to 1CC the original Raiden some day. Last week I got to Stage 6 for the first time and it felt like a breakthrough. If I ever get to Stage 7 (sniper hell) I know that's going to be the wall.
