Rapid Hero

Post by Macaw »

Developed by NMK. A totally awesome but fairly obscure shooting game about chasing a mech through space, and every time you encounter him he seemingly has bigger and better equipment. Awesome backgrounds and bosses adds to make this just too awesome.

Just downloaded this one and I must say it is a great game. My first time playing (I did about 4 plays altogether.) But I thought I would add it any way.

Ayanami - 581,110 - Stage 3

I have MAME 32 ver 0.111, but the sound did not seem to work. Not that big of a deal, perhaps I just had a bad rom.

Mame 0.111u1 is what added sound support. Now the current version is 0.111u3.

Updated. Also changed the format a bit so scores can be seen a bit more clearly.

I have decided to start playing for score and thought Rapid Hero would be a good place to start as it's simple and fun.

320x240 - Stage 4 - 582,810

Managed to loose my last life to the very first enemies in stage 4. Expect improvements soon...




Edited to add:

320x240 - Stage 4 - 756480

Dah! In entering my score finally I reminded you of yours, prompting you to enter yours - bumping mine straight off the list! Well done on your score, but balls to mine! I'm concentrating on Trizeal now, but I'll have to get back on Rapid Hero ASAP and get back on this list!

Does Rapid Hero have another name? Is it known as Hacha Mecha Fighter?

EDIT:
OK - I know it's not Hach Mecha Fighter. Does it have an alternative title?

Hopefully this might bring Macaw back - since the end of his amazing tourny he seems to have gone to nest!

Come back to us our feathered friend!
