Are there any differences between arcade versions? I have three, so I'm just wondering which version to use.

Twiddle · Post by **Twiddle** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 2:25 pm

+1, Sonic Wings Limited was way better than this pile of shit that macaw did choose

which version helps me cheat best

Keade · Post by **Keade** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 6:47 pm

MAME with cheats enabled.

Enhasa · Post by **Enhasa** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 7:08 pm

OMGWTF this is already the best tourney ever

Macaw, did you have 5 games preselected in your mind and actually made replacements, or did you bump future weeks up? I'm kinda pissed RayForce is this week since it's spring break and I'm back home and I wasn't going to spend it on this tourney. I think I'm going to skip playing this game all week and then play all day on Sunday and undoubtedly submit a shit score.

I dunno, I'm going to be spending time during the summer anyway improving my score and trying to get a good inp for the thread (and hopefully a 1cc), so I'm not really motivated to try for just one week anyway.

wut iz rayforce

sounds lame

Enhasa · Post by **Enhasa** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 7:16 pm

General version stuff:

This game is known as RayForce / Galactic Attack / Layer Section / Gunlock for maximum confusion. RayForce for arcade, Gunlock for overseas arcade, Layer Section for Saturn, Galactic Attack for overseas Saturn. So you have to pay attention to all the names when looking somewhere.

Randorama has a great guide in ST. FUKUDA and Ben Shinobi have vids on super-play (under Layer Section). If you really care about score, you want to do the suicide trick (in FUKUDA's vid) as soon as you start to power up your lasers and slow down your rank. You need to set the difficulty to at least hard 1 AFAIK.

Macaw, are we using all defaults or what?

lgb · Post by **lgb** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 9:14 pm

Yay Rayforce.

EDIT: Wait, there are no region differences right?

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:57 pm

"LOCK ON LASER"

what

you need to lock onto a target to shoot a laser?

LAME

Macaw · Post by **Macaw** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 1:06 am

all defaults.

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 2:10 am

HOLY SHIT OMG!!

THIS GAME HAS
LOCK ON LASER ACTION.

Do you just drink too much/take too many drugs or are genuinely this retarded in real life? I mean, god damn...

Enhasa · Post by **Enhasa** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 3:00 am

I see you're not a fan of the shoe persona.

<Enhasa> when shoe gets drunk he posts with proper sentences

lgb · Post by **lgb** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 3:18 am

20 minutes gives me this:

LGB - 441200 - Area 2 (Boss)

When he brought out the zako launchers and the 3 patterns he has, I panicked and explosions ensued.

*ME BEING A DICK* It's Ray Force. Look in the test menu. Gunlock is still Gunlock for some reason.

WESTERN ARCADE VERSION 'GUNLOCK' ALSO ALLOWED

*ME HAVING A DOUBT* I think the western version is alo called Ray Force. According to MAME, Gunlock is the World version (note that MAME also "mispelled" Ray Force in the first place).

- Lock-on System
- Collect excess power-up items for increasing values up to 10,000
- Destroy boss parts/enemies

*ME FIXING STUFF* Fixed, because that's why I die sometimes.

LGB - 654500 - Area 3

Inexplicably, I really am.

Anyway - looking forward to finally getting to play this one. I've had it for far too long without it getting a look-in.

Fu - Area 5 - 1,772,400
Luck.

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 5:45 am

i think i'll only be able to get like 1 hour of play in this week

ED-057 · Post by **ED-057** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 5:53 am

cool, a game that I actually own

ED-057 - 1,184,700 - Area 4

given the rest of the week maybe I can finally beat the 4th boss

I severely doubt that I'll be anywhere near beating this score by the end of the week. Macaw needs to stop pitting me against rivals that are better than me

Ed Oscuro · Post by **Ed Oscuro** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 3:05 pm

Ed Oscuro - Area 3 - 685,500

Playing Gunlock, and arrgh
barely made it out of the second area :p Still haven't put tons of time into this one though.
