I've looked around and haven't been able to find anything that explains it well.

Thanks. I'm new to this forum and fairly new to shmups in general.

Welcome MrOldSchoolCool!

Ed Oscuro has linked to everything you need.

I'm just digging in myself - finally picked up NTSC-J Aces collection, so maybe see you soon over in the RFJ scoreboards? ;-)

Enjoy!

The basic summary is that you need a slave ship to start getting medals to circle you, then you let medals circle and combine until they form a giant golden eagle which you then collect, and then you reveal eight (i think?) medals at the same time, and they'll burst into super valuable medals. You want to try and collect these before more are revealed, as they only rise in value once you've collected all the medals onscreen.

I wouldn't worry too much about micluses and fairies until you have the basics down. The first miclus is pretty handy, though.

This. Hittin' stage 05 with the RF1/RF2 gold appearing is a damn good buzz! Only starting to get this shit down.

Fuck me, the Aces collection is an essential 360 purchase!

Ciao.
