A mix of the 360 good'ums: Raiden IV (x360 mode), Galuda 2 (arcade) and Mushi Futari 1.5 and BL Maniac modes. Futari and Galuda are really just breathers away from my goal to 2-ALL 360 mode in Raiden IV.

Black Label is a significantly different version of the game, usually incorporating different scoring mechanics or other considerable tweaks.

Just attempted to play Gunbird 2 (DC), failed miserably.

On the upside, I think I'm getting better at Mars Matrix.

Dodonpachi. I'd just like a first-loop clear on this because I'm not terribly interested in scoring... I got a 106 chain in stage 1 once and usually 150 in stage 2 and that's good enough for me, lol. Doubt I'll ever see the second loop.

Does Jump Bug count as a shump? I am playing that and it is pretty damn amazing - scrolling platforming (multi-directional in the pyramid stage) shooting action! Fun to play even today as well - forced scrolling + one bullet on-screen at a time + bullets that pass through multiple enemies = rad. Anybody tried playing this for score? Anybody played this at all?

I play at the time Ketsui for Xbox 360.
This game is too awesome :P

And too hard :D

But those perfect designed patterns and the green military army style push me tears in my eyes :wink: :P :!:

Playing some G-Darius (YOU-YOU-YOU... no, u! What a great song, it's the Silent Hill of the shooters, the CDDA version that comes with the game lasts like 7 minutes of pure madness) and Beat Hazard (inertia aside, it's pretty damn nice) as I wait for Gundemonium Collection.

DDP and RSG.
I suck at Radiant Silvergun. I should come to accept this, but I won't.
I just did really badly at DoDonPachi, dieing on really really easy sections and panic bombing even though I'm not in any danger... aaaaaaaaaaaaah


Also, I would kill someone to play ketsui!
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

Recently, I've been playing a lot of Gekioh for PS1 and Gunbird II for DC. Planning on taking out my DUX disc for a few rounds tomorrow as well.

Trying out Dodonpachi for the 1st time, it's a little harder than I expected. Coming in at 10mil to start with. The 4th stage boss' upclose laser attack is some bullshit.

Haha, yeah, first time I saw this I almost punched the wall.


Also, fired up R-Type, died 3 times in the first 15 seconds, and decided I'm not awake yet.

Played MUSHA for a few rounds last night in a genesis emulator on my DC and man, for some reason I sucked something fierce at it. It's pretty though.
