PHFSTGT week 2: tekhan's shooting pedigree

Twiddle · Post by **Twiddle** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 2:39 am

Eight Forces

This could have made it in Hidden Gem Week if not for the intervention of yours truly.

Features: Hitboxes that contain area not in the player sprite, enemy explosions that kill you, bosses balanced so horribly that higher rank makes them easier, and secondary weapons that do no damage.

Qualifying parameter: 1600 medal bonus (provide screenshot) (that's just five medals without dying! wow!)

Final Star Force

I think it was around the sixth stage where the game tried to kill me.

Features: tracker stars that do no damage, homing missiles that don't actually hit things

Qualifying parameter: Don't post a score, but if less than 8 people play you don't get to vote next week

Gemini Wing

I'll let you be the judge of this.

Qualifying parameter: Make a video of you using only the secondary weapon. You don't actually have to progress much in this game, just do it. If you don't live for more than 45 seconds total I will not accept it.

final star force kinda reminds me of thunder dragon so it can't be that bad

the other 2 games on the other hand...

wow

in the case of nobody voting the selection will default to eight forces and i will get to play.

Final Star Force. Sorry guys I'll play this week.

I vote for

gemini wing

can't argue with that horrible shot

The Coop · Post by **The Coop** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 6:18 am

Never played any of them. I can't make videos, so Gemini Wing is automatically out. I don't quite understand Final Star Force's qualifier, so I'll vote for EIGHT FORCES.

Due to a reading error, Zebra Airforce was improperly placed in the "not voting" category. This has been fixed.

On Final Star Force, use B weapon on it's maximum level and abuse the slowdown

You can't in normal MAME, or MAME32. MAMEPlus on the other hand, has autofire a-plenty.

Wolfmameplus 106 includes autofire option

INPs aren't accepted, so that part's irrelevant here. It's video or nothin', maaaan.

final star force qualifying parameter is for gamblers because the game is ridiculously easy

Twiddle · Post by **Twiddle** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 7:46 pm

in case of games where autofire breaks the game:

i don't care

I would have if making a video (and uploading it in less than 12 hours) were possible. But I no longer have the means to make a video, and 1kb/s-tops upload speed pretty much makes that game's qualifier a lock out.

I VOTE GEMINI WING. I can't stop laughing at the stage 1 boss and his whole 2 frames of animation as he saunters across the screen. Plus, he apparently shoots Whoppers (the candy, not the burger).

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 9:24 pm

qualifying parameter is only necessary for people who score 0 right?

crithit5000 · Post by **crithit5000** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 10:15 pm

Yeah, but I had nothing to do today so...

Its a twenty year old game, what did you expect from it?!

I've always liked it, especially the soundtrack.

The hitbox is fairly huge I know

, but still......

Now I'll stop sticking my nose in, as I didn't register.
Exit Stage left.
