I made it about 3/4ths of the way through the final stage of Gradius about a month ago so I feel your pain. I'll pull it off eventually, you will too.Square King wrote:R-Type Leo. Last stage is a phenomenal bitch.
I probably would have already but I went on vacation right afterward and haven't really picked it back up yet.

I like that game a lot. It has a very enjoyable pace to it, great funky music, classic Irem graphics quality, very twitchy, and while it´s pretty easy early on it never feels boring. Might wanna pick that up againSquare King wrote:R-Type Leo. Last stage is a phenomenal bitch.

It still think this one is a lot better:mirkvid wrote: post of the century!
BTW that screenshot looks a lot like the one Shoesama posted. It´s not the same though as you could see his green heli explode and IIRC there was even less boss life left.Rai82 wrote: Never played Cave games before, but is this the type known as bullet hell shooters?
Lol, the Casino has so many depths. One of these days, I'm going to play some of the other cabs apart from the Cave ones and Metal Slug 3.spadgy wrote:Is that actually worth playing Rob?Rob wrote:I almost figured out Night Raid.
It's on sale at a local store. Actually - it's in my local arcade but nobody ever plays it. (EDIT: Which might be indicative!)

It's an unusual game. I think you could probably just ignore the weird scoring system and enjoy surviving through it, but the bosses might be a little too short-lived that way. Other things going against it: hitbox isn't very clear, launcher lacks the precision/user control of GW's barrier and MM's mosquito. It's not like Takumi has been releasing a lot of games lately, though.spadgy wrote:Is that actually worth playing Rob?

Damn right. Still not as bad as Pulstar though.Square King wrote:R-Type Leo. Last stage is a phenomenal bitch.
I should play this again.
Last night I at down to Progear after something of a break and did something that replicated the screen above. While I've 1CC'd the game before, it was gutting last night to get to the second to final pattern of the last boss with no lives in stock and no bombs at 10.9 million, just ever so slightly under the 11 million needed for the extend.
If I'd of killed a tiny bit more popcorn, I would have just been able to panic bomb the end! So hard to get any points from that boss.
So frustrating I nearly had to tell strangers on the tube home from the arcade. Still, no point dwelling on 'if only'!
