the first, and they say "yahho" between every stage (and even immediately after you choose the game).

Great, thanks! That's the one I like best so far.

What a bummer, I thought that this will be the week when I can definitely put my oldskool Konami hori skills to good use, and what happens? Of all the classic Konami shooters ever we end up with a vert

DJI, you better allow the HRAP autofire at least for the bombs - to avoid a frustration of epic proportions...

Edit: Actually there seems to be an option to bind both weapons to the same button. Cool.

I was just thinking the same thing. No offense to any vertical shooter lover who voted for Twin Bee because it is a vert, but I personally think its kind of awkward not to be playing a horizontal shooter in a Konami Week. What has this world come to?

I believe Donpachi was in the poll for Cave week last year.

I think that's the 1st time the game I voted for is actually the winner

I'm expecting a "WHAT THE FUCK DO ALL THE DIFFERENT COLOURED BELLS DO" strategy thread to start imminently.

It certainly wasn't one of my top 3

.
Only 2 games I voted for have ever been chosen, and one of them was a big mistake (Star Force

).
Vert Bell juggling...

I wonder how many people will hate Twinbee Yahhoo after this week.

Post by **Shatterhand** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 2:50 pm

to be quite honest, my favourite game in the poll is Gokujyou Parodius (it's a regular in my yearly top 25 shmups vote), but coming from the experiece of STGT 06, I will vote with some strategy in mind now, and this vote was discussed between the members of my team

But I think all games on this poll are of high-quality, I am sure TBY will be a fun game to play

Does it count if you already hate it?

I'm only being a little sarcastic. I have bad memories of this game. Something about low gravitational areas where your ship gets stuck moving slow as molasses and something about an instant death area somewhere in stage 3...

Am I off my rocker or is that about right?

Sword · Post by **Sword** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 3:04 pm

I'm just glad we didn't get Sexy Parodius. Ugh.
Voted for TBY because:
1. it's a vert
2. never played a Twinbee before

Anyway, it's just one week. Almost anything deserves to be played for at least that long. <glares at Star Force>

Sad truth.

*Plays taps for horis*

Now can anyone tell me what the frak the different color bells do.

Yes, funnily enough. Ranks just a bit higher than Detana! in my list of fave Konami (but well below the Parodii and XEXEX).
Haven't played it for an age, however.

Would have preferred any of the two Paro over Yahhoo and Salamander 2, to be honest. Didn't bother voting, as Yahhoo and Salamander 2 were miles ahead by the close of voting.

Nope, that's about right. Also add the obscenely difficult stage4, bullets that actually blend into the background (nice choice Konami, yellow bullets and yellow colours in the background), and really heavy memorisation sections.

To quote one of my teammates on namakoHQ: "...seems many people would rather play a vert they know nothing about than a hori..."

I hate it already. Messiest bullet patterns I've ever seen and Stage 4 has less visibility for bullets than Master of Weapon. If it weren't for the scoring system I'd drop this week.

Plus player and cloud sprites at the top layer.

What yo talkin bout. Master of Weapon has no bullet visibility problems.

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 4:57 pm

Master of Weapon has bullets?

After seeing my score without extends and comparing it to my score with extends, I am of the firm belief that extends break the game.

shoe-sama · Post by **shoe-sama** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 6:21 pm

More survival time + lower rank from deaths = lol

RyanDG · Post by **RyanDG** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 6:31 pm

shoe-sama wrote:More survival time + lower rank from deaths = lol

Absolutely! Suiciding is such a hot strategy, especially since the extends (300k/700k) can be easily obtained in the first level (well, maybe not... I guess to get the second extend for me it has been around the beginning of stage 2).

professor ganson · Post by **professor ganson** » Mon Aug 20, 2007 7:02 pm

Extends rule. I do hope their use becomes officially sanctioned, and soon.
