I just gave it a run and got 13,058,270 - All clear
One can select hard mode by holding select and pressing 1,2,1,2,1,2,etc. during the title, and then exiting the mode select screen by holding run and then select. I'm guessing there is the possibility for more points there. Also, it is written that if you don't shoot the bosses on odd-numbered levels they will timeout and give you extra bombs, lives, and points. I tried it once but nothing happened (boss was still hanging around after several minutes).

the boss timeout works on just the first boss i think - it's not all that easy to do but it gives you some lives and 16 bombs IIRC. The game has other secrets - there's an 8(?) way weapon you can use just by picking up nothing but pink blobs on the first stage, and a 32 (again not sure on this, it's been many years) multiple mode which is cool. Also there are about 4 difficulty modes including the infamous God of Game mode, after hard mode is enabled just keep doing the select 1/2 thing and the title logo changes again, to a deep red.

I love this game...
1599270 last level 2nd boss. I think the blue wavy lazer is the way to go for maximum screen coverage. It amazed me that they were actually drawing the lazers in rather small flashing segmments. No way to save scores on this one? (Wii version)

Some of the best shmups don't actually end in a vowel.
No, this game is not Space Invaders.

The game hail from 1989 - The Turbo Grafx 16 required either the CD-ROM or the Turbo Booster Plus to save in games and score was not something worth saving at the time.Pixel_Outlaw wrote: No way to save scores on this one? (Wii version)
Soldier Blade (late 1992) would allow for save scores.
OT I think I will submit a score for fun in short time
Blazing Lazers is pure awesome! Compile for ever

I was so mad when I accidentally soft-reset at The End. I had no idea the only way to find out my score was to die.

Your high score will save (as with all other games via save state) if you exit to the Wii Menu first. I have not tested if a hard shutdown (red light) erases the save states vs a soft shutdown (orange light). I always orange light shutdown and I've never had a problem.Pixel_Outlaw wrote:No way to save scores on this one? (Wii version)

Scores updated. Let me know if there are any errors. Also, what does "Final Stage" refer to? I.e. how many stages are there?
I downloaded this last night and had a lot of fun with it, but didn't improve my score yet. Practice and/or coffee will surely help with that. I also downloaded Alien Crush, one of my all-time favorites, and it seemed to me to be playing faster than ever. The increased difficulty was actually a bonus because my games can get so long.

Unfortunately the 10 million final boss bonus fails to increase my position in the rankings:

Thanks for the congrats, everyone.
I may have found an infinite scoring area. Do the eyeball generator "minibosses" in Area 4 ever time out or do something more threatening? Because with a fully powered IV you can park in the middle of the screen and watch wave after wave of eyeballs kamikaze themselves for 800 points a wave. On my last game I got at least 50000 points doing this before I got bored and moved on.
(Also I should only be 5th on the list.)

The eyeball trick was not used. Almost a one-life clear until one of those expanding trash wads right before the final boss got lucky.

I was on fire, until I lost a life in Stage 9, and fought the final boss, limp and desperate.
