Game's ok. My roommate and his friend watched me play it in the house and the Engrish gets thrown around during our foosball games now. My roommate is proud to break 500,000. I'm still the laughing stock of the house now that they and the woman found out why I was playing the same game for spare time of 3 days. :oops: :oops:

I'm sure I'll refuse to touch every game I play in this thing for the next 5 years.

Anyone liked the first 5 or 10 seconds of the first stage as much as me? :P

Yeah, everytime you messed up and restart the game it would punish you with this waiting time while you are just flying in one direction without any enemies. That's the "repentance" time, to think about your mistakes.

THAT was the most annoying part in the game, well aside from Stage 6 boss, with unavoidable, invisible bullets in the final form.... :?


But, well no game is perfect. And if you play a game very often in a given time frame you'll dig it's weakspots even more than you would usually. :)

Agreed. But I love how the ST1 background and how the music is a little out of tune, one of the best stage intros ever!
