We need more people participating. Everyone in here, could you please try to ask some of your team mates to play. To make sure every team has at least 3 members on the highscore board. I'll ask my team members.

I am playing the game. At home, with a keyboard, because my Arcade Stick BROKE goddamn.

Anyway, the problem is that the internet connection at my home isn't working right now, so I couldn't post my score when I was playing the game yesterday.

My score sucks anyway, it's around 1,2 million with the Aryustailm at level 3. I am playing the game at the end of the day because it's the only time I have any free time.

I think in from Thursday up until sunday I'll have more time to play the game properly

When I get at home later, I'll try to fix the problem with my connection and I'll post my score.

Team Loser strikes again!

_Bnu - Team Apes/Loser - 24,332,350 - ALL - Peplos (MAME Plus)

I wasted my entire day learning how to use autofire properly, and then learning how to not get killed to hell on the stage 6 boss. :| This, if anything, should show that just collecting medals and not using the charge shot (I can't use Peplos' charge shot worth crap anyway) doesn't get you the best score of all times. But yeah, Peplos is strong. In fact, way too strong. I wouldn't have minded milking the last boss for a bit longer, but he just sorta died. :(

BONERS!

Guts · Post by **Guts** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 4:05 pm

Don't know you was so strong at this game O_o

_Bnu · Post by **_Bnu** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 4:08 pm

If I was strong at it, I'd have had a way better score than that. ;P

I basically just blasted everything to hell without any regard to enemy chaining, mostly to try and figure out what an ALL score would end up being without doing any enemy chaining and just concentrating on the little BONERS. With Peplos and autofire, you do an awful lot of damage. And it's almost impossible to use his rapid shot without autofire, you'd have to mash your fingers apart.

Galdur - Team Canada - 3,062,380 - 4 - Windina

I've never played a more frustrating game in my life...

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but I'm on the brink of insanity here. I've been practicing nothing but the first three stages for hours and hours and even then the best I can muster by the end of stage 3 is some 2 million points. I've read all the strategy I could find, I've seen demonstrations (superplays even), and yet I'm still completely in the dark. Maybe if I could see where I'm going wrong if wouldn't be so bad, but I don't even know what my mistakes are. This game's trying my patience!

No kidding. The more I play Blazing Star, the more I hate it.
Oh well, play through the pain barrier. >.<;;

I've been playing it for some hours now but still my score is embarassing low. I wil post a score when I break the 1.000.000 barrier. that should be possible even for me. I find the game harder than I thought at first.

yep, it certainly has its moments. its annoying when a blue gem materialises like 1cm away from running off the screen

chasing the gems leads to many annoying deaths

Its the sprite limitation that bugs me. Blazing Star can only draw a certain amount of things onscreen at any one time, and if there is more, stuff tends to start flickering. Normally enemy bullets and other lethal objects. This is an especially annoying handicap with the Windina whose shot and rapidshot fires quite a lot of bullets.

Post by **BulletMagnet** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 8:00 pm

Does this happen on MAME as well as the original hardware? Someone (Acid King, I think) mentioned a similar problem with Battle Bakraid and another Raizing title or two, which was apparently a hardware limitation and didn't occur when played in MAME...is this a different type of problem?
