Thx! I had a hard training behind me.

Yeah. I've only beat it with one life left though, so beating it with more than one life is a new goal, and one that should boost my score.MrMonkeyMan wrote:The only problem is once you beat it you pretty much have to beat it to improve your score from that point on, but your score's going to be pretty good when you do clear the game.
Anyway, all this action here has got me back into the game. I've decided to totally relearn all the stages, so far I've only got stage 1 down. Finally broke 4 million today with 4.19 million. Now I need to start learning stage 2 again. This could take me a while at this rate.
Stage 3 I used to get around 11 million very consistently. In fact, with all my old strategies I was very consistent which is why I used those strategies. Since my 52 million game was pretty much maxed out with those strategies I kind of need to find new paths through the levels.twe wrote:Yeah.

Good to hear you're playing again. I felt like I was one of the last people playing this! It's my 2nd all-time fave shmup, right behind ikaruga.![]()
What kind of L3 scores are you getting? On a good run I can get 11.5 mil.
As for L1, I've never broken 4mil, but I consistently get 3-3.4mil, my best being about 3.5mil.
I have done 12-13 mil in practice mode, but this is done via milking the boss as the DVD player does. I die far too often on this, so I've never had the guts to do it in a real run.MrMonkeyMan wrote:Hopefully I'll be able to pull off 12-13 million after some practice on stage 3. For now I'm doing stage 2 and so far, with a pretty sloppy run, I can get 8 million.
Thanks. Took me about a month and a half (I got the game in April actually but only played it a few hours and put it on the backburner until this past July) of dedicated play, though the past 3-4 weeks I haven't had much time to play games, just a half hour here and there during the week.It's good to see you finally beat it. Hopefully that doesn't kill your drive to get a higher score.
