Shmup Goals 2018 - Fruits and Beans

[Square_Air]

Absurdly late to this thread for 2 years and counting. My first goal is to post in these threads actually somewhat near the beginning of the year next time.

Personal Favourite Achievements of 2017:

• Clearing Dangun Feveron with some ok chains for the first 3 stages.
• Pushing myself to participate in TRP-STGT and exceeding my initial expectations.

Personal Biggest Screw-ups of 2017:

• Dropping Mars Matrix while getting sidetracked playing other games.
• Barely missing out on 5 million pts in Madshark during TRP-STGT.

Favourite Achievements by Others of 2017:
There's plenty of noteworthy achievements listed in this thread, but the ones that comes to mind are:

• Iconoclast destroying both Dangun Feveron and Mahou Daisakusen.
• Perikles' conquest of everything classic.
• Plasmo and The Armchair General's amazing scores in Donpachi.
• Vludi's 2-alls.

Goals for 2018:

• 300 billion + Clear in Mars Matrix.
• Finish clearing all 11 MAME compatible Psikyo games (10 down, only Dragon Blaze is left. May as well throw in a Sengoku Ace 2-All for good measure).
• Clear Parodius Da!, Gradius II, Rayforce, Crimzon Clover: World Ignition (Arcade and/or Boost), and either Battle Garegga or Armed Police Batrider (Advanced).
• Figure out how to patch Robotron: 2084 Blue Label to get rid of the "shot in the corner" bug.

[OPTIONAL] CHALLENGES TO OTHER PLAYERS:

• Clear something that you hate/dislike. For science.
