Nifty - 523,850 - 5 - 1P - MAME Plus!

Quick credit score for now to get on the board, but man I have no idea how this game has a rep for being easy. Stages 5 and on in particular are relentless.

For the technical bonus!

This game has bombs? You mean charge shot right?

[horaceappleton]

horaceappleton - 545600 - 5 - 1P - MAME

Can almost definitely improve on this. Was really frustrated with this game at first, but no-missing Stage 4 was really intense.

[Kyper]

Kyper - 1,314,470 - 9 - 1P - MAME

Man the 2nd loop really makes those turrets a lot more aggressive...

[Yazphier]

Yes they mean charge shots

It sucks though that this rom only works in my buggy shmupmame v3, and nothing else.

Sounds like you need to update your roms rather..

[Nifty]

Mini teamwork combo goooo

Nifty - 675,200 - 6 - 1P - MAME Plus!

[hismit]

Finally I can get the technical bonus! This is the best game of this tournament so far imo. Too busy with Ultra Street Fighter IV stuffs this week -_-

hismit - 215,450 - 3 - 1P - ShmupMAME 4.2

[CptRansom]

And I'm out for the week. Not a fan of this game.

CptRansom - 537,200 - 5 - 1P - MAME

[spadgy]

For the sake of clarity, finally I split the thread, so the early Galmedes scores are no longer present here. For reference, those scores can be found here.

And a mid-week reminder that you should all submit your best scores from the week here, in the forum's Andro Dunos high-score thread (the guy that runs it is an utter idiot, mind).

Now for me to submit an Andro Dunos score here!

Sadly not feeling this game...

[Kollision]

4th credit
I like how the game preserves your high scores, even with resets and such

Kollision - 734,390 - 6 - 1P - shmupMAME 3b

[Noah!]

Noah! - 1,576,470 - 11 - 1P - Shmupmame 4.2

i don't know why i made a video of this but i did. it's 45 goddamn minutes. for comparison here are other things that are 45 minutes and are probably better uses of your time
* mellow gold (not including analog odyssey)
* half of a soccer game
* having sex, microwaving a frozen burrito, then having sex again

[chum]

chum - 597,450 - 6 - 1P - Shmupmame 4.2

Another terrible game? C'mon...

Would've put in effort if my team didn't collapse, but with how awful this one is I'll just leave the score like this and go back to Touhou

[DocHauser]

Noah!> According to the STG Hall of Records thread, the Western record is 1.6 million, so you're getting close.

The World (presumably Japanese) Record appears to be a counter-stop on loop 9, though...

[Nifty]

Nifty - 742,210 - 6 - 1P - MAME Plus!

I would rather like to clear this... we shall c

[spadgy]

* having sex, microwaving a frozen burrito, then having sex again

I too like the frozen burritos that take 41 minutes to microwave.

So how many stages are there. Stage 11 is the second loop, is it?

[trap15]

8 stages, 11 would be stage 3 in loop 2.

[Noah!]

8 stages, 11 would be stage 3 in loop 2.

wait, how should we be counting stages? does stage 7 end when the credits roll, or when the stage clear screen appears (thus making the tlb its own stage)? or am i missing something else entirely?

[Eno]

Eno - 263,200 - 3 - 1P - MAME


Finally got a tech bonus.

[Despatche]

wait, how should we be counting stages? does stage 7 end when the credits roll, or when the stage clear screen appears (thus making the tlb its own stage)? or am i missing something else entirely?

yes, when the stage clear screen appears and you're dropped into another stage with no fanfare. it seems fair to call it stage "8"; even esprade never had the "stage clear" bit.

[1up]

1up - 48,300 - 1 - 1P - MAME

Fuck this game...

[DocHauser]

DocHauser - 968,230 - 8 - 1P - Shmupmame 4.2

I think that's probably my limit for this week. Made it to the final boss on my last life and tried to spam charge shots to finish it off quickly, but sadly it didn't work...

[coturnixx]

coturnixx - 894,410 - 7 - 1P - MAME

Wow, had an amazing run, reaching stage 7 with 3 lives and giving me a delicious savestate to practice this stage. I think i got perfect bonuses on all stages. This game must be my second 1CC, this time one that feels like earned and not popped out of the blue.

And now the strange thing. Why do i have 200 points less in the scoreboard? The curious thing is that in the attract mode the hi score gets the 200 points back
