Thanks for the encouragement Limbrooke. This game has every type of enemy pattern I'm bad at and I can't get used to using my options.

[Sandlegs]

Man, this game just goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and ctrl+break

[ED-057]

All I ever wanted was an H... not a lousy M or an N, just an H. Was it too much to ask?

[sikraiken]

Hey you, be quiet. : )

Or 9mil+, just to annoy everyone. ^_-

If only 9m+ was possible on the World/US versions. :( I'll post something tomorrow though, just started playing today.

I totally forgot the big tank at the start of 13 shoots this big crappy thing that kills you.

Also I grabbed laser in 12 by accident

[The Coop]

Nice one, ED.

I wish I could give you guys tips on this, but I'm relying on tips from you guys. I have so little experience with this game, despite owning it on CCC2 for my XBox since the game came out.

Is it just basically boss fights once you hit stage 20?

Varth is all about knowing where not to be and when not to be there.

That's all I got left. I'm buggered...

Ed Oscuro - Slap Chop My Nuts - 1,348,400 - S07 - Smart - MAME (World)

Couldn't play for shit earlier today, put it away. Now after bumbling along in the second stage, suddenly things clicked into place for a while. Not sure what I did, but I got the stage 4 boss glitch bonus 'cuz my score suddenly shot over 800K

Also was helpful to be hanging onto a fully powered-up plane. The sky stage mystifies me though.

[Sonic R]

I'm not to well at this game…

Here is my entry for the evening.

Sonic R - Team Oldschoolers - 988,000 - S07 - Smart - CCC2/PS2

I wanted to break one million tonight, but it will have to wait

yay for first impressions

had a higher score, but found out I was playing the wrong version. tired of being buttfucked by a plane (not bullets, the plane itself)

[Leeram]

Leeram - Underdogs - 1103000 - 7 - Fixed - MAME(World)

This crappy score does not reflect the hours of toil I've put into this game. What it reflects is how much this games owned me! I only managed to get past level 4 twice and the first time (where I got this score) I didn't kill the boss quickly enough so didn't get the bonus. Second time I did get the bonus but got killed almost straight away afterwards so didn't manage to beat my own score.

I'm really looking forward to playing something else!!

Sorry team!

Cheers.

An only slightly less embarassing entry from me. If I'm lucky maybe I can improve on it a little more before the deadline, but I'm not too hopeful.

OK that's it for me. Can't see I'll be repeating that anytime soon. Missed the bloody score bonus at the end of level 4 (pesky 28000) but a bottle of Bud helped me stay focused and relaxed.

There's no shame in that score. Well done!

[Otherworld]

Otherworld - Bröstlaser - 455,500 - Stage 4 - Fixed - MAME (World)

A verrrry little improvement. But now I am giving up on this game for real.

[ShadowWraith]

ShadowWraith - Team Hard Gay - 3,390,900 - 17 - Fixed - MAME (World)

I think this is as high as I'll get, I managed to get a 5 bomb stock bonus which was pretty risky of me but paid off, then the final train car killed me while I was trying to preserve it.

Fun stuff!

I dont think i'll try to improve this, btw it was done without the act4 boss glitch

Yeah I'm really struggling atm. Just started this game 45 minutes ago, hoping to at least dig myself out of last place in time. Much filled sorryz goes to Moozooh and all of hard gay, I will be able to start sooner next week...

you have two cows; they point-blank each other :p

[Voxbox]

I just tried this out on Capcom Classic Collection Remix fpr PSP, and that autofire was noticable slower than in MAME. Sad, otherwise it's nice with tated PSP shooters.

[mikwuyma]

So I drop no pods until stage 5 and pick them up at stage 2, and then I do way better than usual.

Also, the curse of autofire strikes again.

[mikoto]

Mikoto - Bröstlaser - 659,200 - 5 - Fixed - Mame (world)

Haha, I am Awesome made manifest... Wait... Where did you guys find that extra digit?

This game is horrible without auto-fire.
