Play with harder, not easier. Make a note in your post if you have done so.

Same! Same! Same! is harder than Fire Shark, but the co-op Japanese version is easier. I don't know about the Dooyong versions, don't play them I guess

For the Megadrive version, you are free to turn autofire on and off or change the difficulty, note that you have done so.

[Mills]

My 100mil score should have US next to pcb indicating non japanese board.

[lgb]

I currently assume everyone has played Fire Shark.

[CIT]

I played the Japanese version.

[PlasmaBlooD]

Pal Fire Shark with jap Mega Drive = jap Same Same Same with jap Difficult
Pal Truxton with jap Mega Drive = jap Tatsujin with jap Difficult

Pal Truxton/Fire Shark with Pal Mega Drive 60 hertz = Truxton/Fire Shark but no japanese Difficult

My Scores are with japanese Difficult.I testet the Difficult with modded pal Mega Drive and jap Mega Drive.
Old pal games are automaticly japanese version on jap Mega Drive !!

[lgb]

Yep. I think both versions coded into one cartridge for both games (as well as Daisenpu), usually exploited with an import [Japanese] Megadrive or a Game Genie code.

Never seen a real difference for Twin Hawk, though I suspect there is one.

[drboom]

Yup - I can confirm that both versions are on the same cart. When I play my Fire Shark cart on my JP Mega Drive it comes up as Same! Same! Same!.

Mega Drive version, Easy:

[lgb]

What are the extend settings for the arcade version? I think that for Same!x3 that it's 70K&200K+, and Fire Shark has 50K&150K+...

Hey fools, get ThunderMAME and the sample pack for this game and play the 1Player japanese version because it's better than the World version. It has side fields where the World version doesn't, 'nuff said. This game is like Flying Shark but better. Area 6 the music loops but the stages are different, giving the game 10 unique stages. That's pretty amazing if you ask me.

[Ruldra]

Do you have a link for ThunderMAME and the sound sample?

I've been playing the MD version. Got to the final boss once with a bit over 2 millions points but I don't want to post a score until I beat the loop. I just have to stop dying in one of the first few stages and ragequitting.
