Viewpoint

[Mero]

This is the high score thread for Viewpoint, Aicom/Sammy's classic isometric shooter from 1992.

No continues. All defaults: Lives 3, normal difficulty, extends at 50k and 80k. Autofire is ok.

If you're playing the AES or Neo Geo CD versions of the game you must play on MVS difficulty. I'll open tables for the various ports of this game if there's any demand for it.

Code: Select all

NAME - SCORE - STAGE - AUTOFIRE YES/NO

Autofire NO

Code: Select all

1. Gemant -    3,647,120 - ALL
2. Kiken -     1,850,550 - ALL 
3. Kollision - 1,479,230 - ALL 
4. Mero -        892,400 - 4

Kicking things off with a rubbish score

Mero - 243,980 - 3 - No



Level 3 boss is giving me big problems

[Mero]

Checkpoints on

Mero - 333,090 - 4 - No

[tinotormed]

Hmmm, should we also allow the Genesis version either? If it does, I might post a score later.

[Mero]

It'll have its own seperate table but yes, you can post Megadrive scores

[Mero]

Checkpoints on

Mero - 437,580 - 4 - No



If I hadn't missed a star on level 2 my score would be over 500k >_>

[Mero]

Mero - 595,240 - 4 - No



Did this ages ago and never posted it. Slightly less embarassing.

[Kollision]

Where's the love?????????



Kollision - 1,479,230 - ALL - NO

Played on the AES; MVS diff. setting; regular game, with checkpoints.

[Mero]

Congrats on clearing this tough game

I may as well post this:


Mero - 892,400 - 4 - No


I did this a while back after I'd cleared Pulstar. I can no miss to the level 4 boss but the final face is too hard for me

[Gemant]

Training start.... after 15 years....



lost last Boss

2,686,890 pts, category: without autofire.

target: 4,000,000

target: 4,000,000

You know where enough nazos are to get 4 million? . Good luck

[Gemant]

Actual WR is 5,459,370 pts but is played with autofire. In this game autofire change the gameplay / pattern totally, especially for Nazo bonus, because obtain nazo become more easy. So is necessary split the scoreboard with "autofire on" and "autofire off".

With autofire on is possible obtain all 14 nazo bonus, but without autofire is impossible. I working on a plan to win at least 12 nazo.

So is necessary split the scoreboard with "autofire on" and "autofire off".
.

OK, I didn't know about the difference.

[Gemant]

work in progress.



ALL, No Miss, without autofire, Remaining 6 (Is soon to try sacrifice lives).

Nazo x 6, 81560 x 21, 1up x 2.

Stars x 4 miss and Nazo x 5 miss (for now I use a pattern with max 11 Nazo, 12 is too difficult for me now).

[DEL]

Good score Gemant .
I never played it properly. I will try it again sometime soon.

[Gemant]

Thanks Del!

little improve...

[Gemant]

I'm far to my target, but i'm happy for today. Tons of mistakes.... but my training continue. The 4,000,000 target is near.

[Mero]

Good improvement

[Perikles]

Genesis version



Perikles - 1,210,990 - ALL - NO (doesn't matter in this version at all, though, see below)

Had a lot more fun than I thought I would! Isometric games are not my forte at all, so this was a very pleasant surprise. This port is really easy due to the ludicrous extend rate; I probably died ten times at the final boss, but I got an extra life every time for destroying the first form. You could counterstop this particular conversion if you really wanted too. I'll definitely snag myself a copy of the PS1 version at some point in time, I don't get the hate for this game at all - and I played a much simplified version of it. It almost has an Irem flair to it as far as the memorisation is concerned, which I really like.

Edit: Looks like the other host I used is out of business, added a working picture.

[Mero]

I haven't played it since the 90's but the PS1 version is infamously terrible, only get it if you can find it dirt cheap.

[Kiken]

AES version played on MVS Difficulty with a stock Neo Geo joystick.

Kiken - 1850550 - ALL - NO

It was a sloppy run, but I'll take my first All Clear of this game.

[Mero]

Nice work.
