I found a scan of 1992's Gameset on this site, http://nmt.cside.com/index.htm

Safe Spot Best 10 feel good

What would be in if you made top 10 list?

I can't read that, much less make out everything from it.

How many of those shots are from Konami games (Graddy 2 and Trigon come to mind)?

Looks like Raiden to me, not Trigon.

I guess nobody bothered to find Trigon's safe spots, then.

Edit: Aha, I was wondering if Giga Core was in one of the shots. It is, in a poorly lit shot off to the bottom right.

Ah, too bad it's from way back in 1992...nice to see the classic Image Fight stage 3 boss in there. If this list were done later, I'd imagine Image Fight II's stage 2 boss would be there. Both are classic fights that almost force you to know about the safe spots to stand a decent chance of surviving at lower levels of play.

For 1992 I'd say X-Multiply. The safespots in that were an amazing discovery.

#5 is from Hyper Duel, right? Of course not...but where have I seen that before?

10. Fantasy Zone - Wink ron (Mookstar boss)
09. Raiden - Stage 6 boss
08. R-Type II - [Burendo/purendo] Core
07. Tatsujin - Bad ron
06. Image Fight - Michael
05. Gradius II - Covered Core
04. Kyukyoku Tiger - Some shit B-1 B-2
03. Salamander - Stage 4 boss
02. Gradius II - Something mid-boss. It's the gun wall.
01. Raiden - Stage 8 boss

What does "ron" mean?

Which ones are you referring to, mate? This is one of my all-time favourites, and I play through it fairly regularly, but I only know of a couple!
