STGT'12 Week 3: Salamander 2

[Psikyo_Ball]

Psikyo_ball - 142,000 - 1-3 - Mame

[ExedExes]

ExedExes - 746,000 - 2-1 - MAME+

Now why couldn't they have used that arranged music in the FIRST loop of Stage 1?

[zakk]

Zakk - 806,500 - 2-1 - Mame

[Erppo]

Erppo - 1,394,900 - 2-5 - MAME



Should maybe play more.

[Kaiser]

Kaiser - 258,200 - 1-5 - MAME

[Illyrian]

Illyrian - 521,200 - 1-6 - Shmupmame 2.2

The one time I actually kill the brain golem, and get all the way to the final boss on the same credit and I somehow manage to throw away my last 2 lives being SCARED LIKE I'VE NEVER BEEN SCARED BEFORE!

[ShadowWraith]

welp

ShadowWraith - 1,848,400 - 2-ALL - MAME



no lives left, got all four 100k bonuses. time to sleep.

[AKRATEN]

Akraten - 379,500 - Stage 5 - PCB JAA

[Mero]

Mero - 989,800 - 2-2 - PS1



Rubbish, I wanted a million

[chum]

chum - 864,700 - 2-1 - mame



I died with one option at 2-1, then I somehow got 2 more and had 3 options for mr. 100k

Getting further into the loop would be nice, but there's no guarantee that I'll get the 2-1 bonus again so I think I'm done now.

[NoMoreHeroes]

I gotta watch a video or something, 'cause the glaring absence of 400K from my score blows.

Once again I survive, but don't score well.

NoMoreHeroes - 720,600 - 2-5 - Saturn

[Jaimers]

Jaimers - 1,396,000 - 2-5 - ShmupMame 2.2

Despite being so short this game still feels like it drags on forever.

[Klatrymadon]

Klatrymadon - 581,100 - 2-2 - ShmupMAME v3.0b



Quick 'n' dirty. Haven't really had time to refamiliarise myself with everything this week - didn't get any of the 100k bonuses, and the Doom/Gigas fight went predictably arse-shaped about halfway through. Hell, even the guy before him had been giving me trouble. I've only just seen the comments about the Super Cobra possibly making the later stages easier, though, so I might have another quick go before closing time. Could bust out the Saturn version, too.

[Aleanil]

Aleanil - 80,700 - 1-2 - ShmupMame 2.2

[ebarrett]

ebarrett - 1,369,500- 2-5 - ShmupMAME 2.2



STUPID ROCKS

[damakable]

damakable - 199,500 - 1-3 - AAB

Couldn't get JAA working for some reason... and can't kill the brain golem for the life of me! But at least I'm posting a score in case I can't beat this one by the end of the day as I've got to go out for a bit.

[Jagerath]

Jagerath - 226,600 - 1-3 - MAME

[Kaiser]

Kaiser - 369,100 - 1-6 - MAME

That's it.

[msm]

msm - 179,200 - 1-4 - MAME

[BulletMagnet]

BulletMagnet - 259,900 - 1-5 - MAME

[Donkey]

Oooooooops, way to tired to actually pay attention to what I'm doing.

[ebarrett]

Donkey - 213,250 - 1-3 - WolfMAME

after that you have to wonder how many people are just posting whatever

[Gähnende Leere]

Gähnende Leere - 137.900 - 1-3 - Shmupmame

[VgameT]

VgameT - 881,800 - 2-2 - ShmupMAME

This time I missed the 100k battleship D:

[blackoak]

blackoak - 387,600 - 1-6 - PSX

Pretty fun, but didn't have much time this week.

[Nenea]

Nenea - 223,100 - 1-3 - ShmupMame 2.2 (JAA)

[fliplismc]

fliplismc - 269.500 - 1-5 - MAME32 Plus! 0.106

[Drake]

Drake - 999,900 - 2-3 - ShmupMAME

I just deliberately tried to end it at a million and ended up just a bit short. Didn't practice enough, 2-3 was lolwat.

[Gmintyfresh]

Completely done on this now, couldn't manage any of the score bonuses and this was a default ship run



Gmintyfresh - 733400 - 2-5 - ShmupMAME 3

[Despatche]

I don't think I can play this anymore. Also, I have no idea how to get that gold ship.

Now why couldn't they have used that arranged music in the FIRST loop of Stage 1?

Because they're not that good; those tracks shouldn't even be in the game. Instead, Konami should have created unique stages for the loop and put those unused tracks to work.
