Hi everybody,
I'm in advance apologize if my English isn't really good it's not my native language and translator program doesn't spot every mistake
To make it quick, I intensively play video games since more than 20 years.
My 1st contact with shmups is a port of
R-TYPE on Amstrad CPC 6128, but I was really bad at this game.
I also played a lot to
P-47 on Amiga with a friend without succeed to clear the game.
When the 1st Playstation came out, my brother gave me his Super Nintendo with all his games ...
Space MegaForce (the US version of
Super Aleste) was in the lot.
I consider
Super Aleste as my 1st real hardcore contact with STG : I 1CCed this game so many time that I started to give me some constraint to make the game harder like 1CC in normal difficulty by using only 1 weapon for the full run (made it with each weapon of the game : the 1CC with only 5-missiles was the hardest for me)
This kind of challenge gave me really good control of each formation with each weapon of the game I guest : thank to this I had not so many problem to clear harder difficulties (I cleared wild mode).
In the same time I played another STG :
Super Swiv. I found so cool the jeep gameplay in this game.
After that I had a long period without STGs, I tried all kind of game, played a lot to RPGs and T-RPGs then to MMORPGs (I'm still a WoW player).
One day, a friend gave me the opportunity to play
Shikigami no Shiro 2 on PS2 : It was my 1st contact with Danmaku ... I wasn't really good at this game, I was proud to 3 or 4CC the game after lot of training but now I understand that a 3CC run on this game isn't really good.
My friend also make me play to
Dodonpachi and
Mushihime Sama but I found these game way to hard for me so I stop to played STGs one more time.
2 years ago, I went to Stunfest for the 1st time. For those who wonder what is Stunfest, please check the Wasshoi in Europe topic
So I came on this event and played for the 1st time to
Mushihime Sama Futari Black Label. I felt in love with this game.
It's also my 1st contact with the french STGs community : thank to them, I discover that there is a game center close to my home... this game center is now like my second home, I play nearly every day their (they have 8 STGs available : Deathsmiles,
Mushihime Sama Futari BL,
ESPgaluda 2,
DDP,
DDP DOJ white label,
Sexy Parodius,
Zero Gunner 2 ... and
Darius Burst Another Chronicle !!)
I currently play a lot to
Mushihime Sama Futari Black Label on
Original mode (my current High score is 1099M on PCB -made this WE at Stunfest- and 1268M on XBOX360 -run downloadable on the leaderboard I guest as it's part of the 20 best Reco score of the leaderboard-)
I also love
ESPGaluda 2 but never succeed to 1CC the game (my current best is a 224M run that finished on the path with all these noisy dolls at the end of the last stage).
