I'm juggling around Perfect Cherry Blossom Phantasm Stage, Radirgy, Karous, Mushihimesama, and ESPGaluda. :p

ESPrade, Flying Shark, Viper Phase 1 (I dunno why but this game has me coming back for more)

I just reached stage 5 in ESPrade, and Flying Shark is kind of mean with the difficulty.

Batrider Special and Advanced Courses again, and a bit of Pork.

Lots of Silpheed [I hate how hard this game is... but it's so cool...], Radiant Silvergun [got bored and credit-fed it to see if it would crash in MAME at some point... it didn't, and I'm wondering how the hell anyone can beat Xiga...], and loads of Battle Bakraid [which, like all 8ing/Raizing shmups, decimates me. Of course, I'm not creditfeeding here.][/b]

Right now i´m trying to clear Thunderforce IV (TFGP2) on Hard without continues to to get the Styx as bonus.

Also playing: Darius Gaiden (SAT), Thunderforce VI (PS2) 1943 Arcade, Tatsujin PC Engine, which has a much better BGM than the MD Version.

Finally i try to improve my R-Type Legions Score on 360.

Raiden Fighters Jet. I'm getting pretty decent at it, in my opinion, can no-miss to the fourth stage, and can achieve a pretty respectable score in my opinion.

Once my DDP DOJ BLEX arrives I'm sure I'll be playing a lot of that.

Kiken · Post by **Kiken** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 5:28 pm

DDP DOJ BLEX and Shooting Love 200X.

Unlocked Piper last night in DOJ BLEX... she's totally fucking broken. If you chain ok (doesn't even have to be great... just decent), as soon as one hyper is over, the next hyper-bee will be drifting down the screen. Wash, rinse, repeat.

You should be getting all the achievements in 5..4...

Comped out myself tonight. Leave it to Sakari to destroy the game's achievement system. Sigh.

Games I'm playing now: DDPDOJBL (in the arcade), Mushi Futari Black Label Maniac and toying with Ketsui.

Yeah... I unlocked some 400 points-worth of achievements as soon as I played through the game with her.

And it's not really surprising considering Sakari's love for unlocking achievements. He's just shy of 76,000 at the moment... although, I notice he hasn't logged on in a couple of days. One can only wonder why.

null1024 · Post by **null1024** » Wed Feb 25, 2009 6:02 pm

G-Darius and Raystorm in MAME.
I suck at G-Darius, and I sort of suck at Raystorm.

I unlocked many of achievements in X mode as well… On my second play through, it seemd like an achievement was being unlocked every minute lol… but I couldn't care less about achievements.

I really do like this game. I didn't really like the PS2 game but playing the Black Label (as well as X mode), I've become quite addicted to it and it is becoming a favorite game of mine very quickly. Its all I've played this week! (plus when my television is TATE, I don't like to go back and forth to switch it around) The music is also grown on me and I really enjoy it (original music- I've switched the music to original in X mode too)

Anyways on topic,

I continue to play DDPDOJBLEX

Nanostray 2 and loving it.
Especially fancying the horizontal parts!
Old school fun.

This kinda washes away the bad taste from the first one.

null1024 · Post by **null1024** » Fri Feb 27, 2009 1:03 am

A little bit of Bakraid, still suck at 8ing/Raizing shmups...
Also been doing some playtesting for bilateral.

Soukyugurentai (Saturn). Getting my ass kicked and loving every minute of it.

P.S. I am new to the Saturn scene.

Gobs of Raycrisis [I just got it, it's so much fun!], and Bangai-O N64 [if you could consider it a shmup].
