ranking alongside top elected officials for notoriety. -Ed Oscuro

Better score, and I didn't even get any farther. Crystal stage is starting to give me nightmares again, all of my deaths were on it :/.
Seahawk - 691,780 - 1-9 - Type B
Gradius III rank
On each death the next seed is pulled to give you a new pattern.
The only clue I know is this photo from a Konami event in Japan for Gradius' 25th anniversary, presumably running on a new PCB version of the game?
It looks like 5 values on the y-axis are chosen (based on the seed), and cubes are spawned mostly on these 5 lines (order again determined on the seed).
This is all invisible, and there's no way to manipulate the randomness.

Scores updated.
This month feels like a total bust, lol.

That's because you picked a fucking shitty game.

Next month's shitty game chooser can select another shitty game for the following month.
Honestly I will probably have enjoyed this month more than I will the following months - not that I have anything against the games on offer, I'm just not feeling the love at the moment. I'll try to get another score in here sometime.

Well I'm having fun. GIII has its flaws, to be sure, but I still find it an uncommonly satisfying game to make progress in.CaptainRansom wrote:This month feels like a total bust, lol.

DAMN. Nice improvement! Going to try and get to loop 3 before the weekend's up?

Geez saucy you da man!
I feel this same way, for me there's no feeling like blasting through this game to some of the best music the series has to offer.saucykobold wrote:GIII has its flaws, to be sure, but I still find it an uncommonly satisfying game to make progress in.

Thanks! I plan to keep playing until I reach 3-1. I'm far from consistent at 2-2 or 2-7 (to say nothing of 2-9), so it'll probably be a case of throwing lots of mud at the wall until something eventually sticks.
Re: STG of the Month (September 2012) - Gradius III!
Just a couple credits here...I don't care much for this game.

Dimahoo is a fun game.

Posting my shit score, if it's not too late. I've been spoiled by the SNES version, so attempting to seriously dive into this one was a rude awakening.
Op Intensify - 62,900 - 1-2 - A
Played on Gradius Collection with default arcade settings.

Updated and done! Thanks for playing.
I'll get October's board set up as soon as I tally votes. My internet connection at home went splat, and I wasn't about to try and edit things and tally votes on my stupid phone.

You seem to have listed me twice on the scoreboard by accident.
