I can't read that, much less make out everything from it.
Of course, that's just an opinion.
Always seeking netplay fans to play emulated arcade games with.

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.

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!
