Shmups torture test.

Pixel_Outlaw · Post by **Pixel_Outlaw** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:02 am

I think I need to take a few weeks to try and beat a shmup I hate.

My target game will be X-Dazedly Ray.

Anyone else going to pledge to the torture challange? Pick a shmup game you think is really crappy and try to clear it.

Please stick to the lesser known games if possible.

You kidding? I can't even clear the shmups I LOVE, there's no way I'd be able to clear the ones I hate!

That's a cool idea, Pixel_Outlaw!

I'm also fond of beating games no one wants to even touch.
Can I also try XDR X-Dazedly Ray on the Mega Drive? I never played it.

We could compare our final scores afterwards.

Fair enough.

Let the pain begin.

Nice idea. I'll try Gun Ranger X.

It would be enough of a goal for me to clear stage 1 of Last Hope. >_>

Hmpf ok, it's time for me to dig out Stahlfeder...

EDIT: ...or maybe Philosoma. Damn, I can't decide.

Update: XDR is so cheap.

Still playing...

Kollision · Post by **Kollision** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 3:06 am

I dont know if I'm gonna be able to play it today....
Let's see if I can at least turn it on to see the first stages before going to sleep.

hey I've got XDR hmmmmm

i remember it had pretty bad music and appeared to run at 15 fps.

Kollision · Post by **Kollision** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 5:20 am

First contact with XDR done.
I died facing the 6th boss - because my ship simply disappeared! I saw my shield going away and then again a flicker from hell and I don't know where I was anymore!

I'll try again tomorrow, I need some sleep.

There are plenty of ugly and terrible little shmups waiting to be claimed in the Xenocide Files.

That strategy doesn't work on the boss. He's unbeatable.

Probably too much painful for a human.

It's isometric. I'm a big fan of Platine Dispositif myself, and I love their games. I actually went out of my way to track them down and purchase them, including REE. But uh.. it's just so frustrating. Maid Samba is also pretty frustrating due to the 8bit Castlevania controls, but I think it's intentional.

Anyway, REE is difficult and I find it frustrating to play. As with Hitogata Happa, you can get yourself trapped with absolutely no way of getting out due to lack of bombs/dolls/health.

Momijitsuki · Post by **Momijitsuki** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 1:09 pm

Seriously. I rarely make it past the first minute of the game before practically chucking the controller across the room.

the Iron Maiden shooter that came with the best of double album.

I was bet 50 quid way back in the day that i would quit the game before i completed it and well... that man was right.

It's like water torture

I did this all the time on my old NES as a child. Not just with shmups, but the shmup that comes to mind is Thundercade (NES version of coures) which was horrible. It's hard to believe I put myself through that. But the satisifaction of beating such games could not be better!

quote from video: "It's a seemingly impossible game, unless played with 2 people. It's very short with only 4 stages but the difficulty is quite intense, without cheating I can only make it about halfway through Stage 2."

this is stupid.....how much time do you have on your hands if you are willing to waste your time playing games that suck and you dont like?

my gaming time is precious....i dont waste a moment of it on games that arent worthy of my time
