Possibly could'a had 81 or 82 this run. I'm coming close to beating my personal best. Phew! sky assault>ocean>ph1>ph2 I want to do sky assault>ice though.

EDIT: *Use this score, Dex* Aquas - Team Loser - 83,448,470 - Phase 2 - Slave (Judge Spear) - MAME

It makes me mad that I'm really liking this game during a week when I have no energy or time to play.

Still rarely unlock the special medal mode on stage 1, but I'm hoping to break 30mil by the end of the week.

Still going. This boss totally took me by surprise though (also I had no extra lives when I met it).

Died twice on level 30 boss(picked up missile, ffuuu) and almost beat Phase 1 without losing a life... died to some pretty easy pattern on the boss. For some reason I did just fine through Phase 1 even though I used missile there by accident, I guess its actually useful vs the medium planes.

I swear, on Sim 30 and Phase 1, the visibility is so completely fucked up, I can't see a bloody thing, and I never know what killed me. The only way for me to reach Phase 1 consistently is via Sim 20. Wheter that's my ancient MAME build or the game itself or a combination of both I don't know.

[KennyMan666]

And this wasn't even that good of a run. I completely ignored the miclii on stage 05 and broke my medal chain too much and died twice on the jungle boss.

But, huh.

It's the game itself. That said, I've been able to do pretty well on Sim 30 a few times (i.e. one-lifed it at least once). Mainly it's just knowing when quickshot bombers are going to swoop in and avoiding bullets from popcorn.

Visibility is fine on Phase 1 IMO, you just have to realize the twin shots that the medium planes snipe with are really fast.

Probably the highest ranking I'm going to achieve, so I thought I'd post this while the getting's good...

[Ruldra]

Apparently I am required to fuck up my run at some point to progress in this game. If I play perfectly, I'm sent to sim 45 where I'm utterly destroyed AND I miss 5 bombs I could've picked up in sim 40 which I need to survive phase 1.

[Doctor Fugue]

Along those lines, I was beginning to wonder whether or not it is beneficial to suicide in order to take a certain path, whether it be for points or bombs or lowering the rank.

The game doesn't make it easy, but the MacMAME version I'm using (and linked you to) adds a bunch of extra background planes to Sim 30 that I haven't seen in any videos. They're not the big ones in the first half, these are smaller and flying upscreen, at varied angles. It sure makes it harder, as well as putting more stress on MAME leading to extra frameskipping in crowded areas.

I haven't reached Phase 1 yet, so I can't comment on that, but there may be similar issues.

[sikraiken]

Are you sure that's not rank? I'm not trying to dismiss possible emulation issues. : )

Reaching those 4 tanks without a bomb is certain death...
