Sorry for the lack of score guys -- I've haven't been home all week and have only been able to play on either PSP or Xbox through laggy pad adapters. I suppose I could post a score just to show some humilty, but I'm only just hitting level 3 when I know I can do much better on MAME with a stick.

I''ll be fully preped for the next one though. Go Team! :D

Nice score RGC! I'm sorry but the game completely made me go out of my mind. I actually enjoyed it at the start of the week, but after playing 15 credits in one week I physically can't bring myself to play it. I'll try harder from now on, promise :p

Heh no probs. ;) I was just lucky I had the house to myself for a few hours yesterday to practice speed killing bosses. It's a shame that good scoring ultimately comes down to that, but I still enjoyed the challenge. Think we did quite well overall. :)

OP = original post (or original poster, depending on the context of the post). Post 1.

Apparently, these games are on the shortlist for week two:
-Dangun Feveron Time attack (hold A+B then push start)
-The Game Paradise (Game Tengoku) time attack
-Super Space Fortress Macross 2 - Medium Course (expert is unplayable due to a graphics bug)
Of these, I've only played Dangun. Caravan means "Get ready for short bursts of intense memorisation!" :)

What's there to talk about? There's only one game worth playing on that list.

Nice score captain!

I played last night up until the last minute, but no joy. Shame as I do feel I've finally started to get the game. After flitting about and settling on speed three, I only discovered once you are used to the game speed four makes life a lot easier - I realised that with about 15 mins to go!

Next week I will do better! I so hope it's not a game I have to play on MAME.

Progear, Battle Garegga and Raiden Fighters Jet I think.

Progear I have on occaision 1CC'd (but Casino has the US board. I assume we'll be playing the Japanese one which means MAME :? ) , RFJ I at least know the scoring system, and that is at Casino. BG I own but have never played properly. It'll be BG then! Be nice to learn it though.

We're doing alright though fellas! Still in the top 10 (no thanks to me!)

Mars Matrix is a possible choice instead of Raiden Fighters Jet.
hmm, i might not vote for this week, all these games have both advantages and disadvantages for my likings!

I'm 100% voting for Raiden Fighters Jet. I picked up a Japanese 360 and a copy of RF Aces so I'm quite up for unlocking some achievements and high scores simultaneously.

Ah... well... that's me up shit creek then, only having a Mac. I might be able to organise getting a credit in at a mates house - but it's unlikely!
