sorry, what's the first ship (slow and orange) called?

i've not got the hang of the scoring yet but making that first big medal is fun, super fast bullets - not so much.

[Dragoforce]

Man, I forgot how fast this game was...

I had trouble last year getting this to run on my PPC Mac, trying MacMAME 0.103u2, MAME OS X 0.124, and sdlmame 0.127u7 and 0.131. However, I just discovered that MacMAME 0.96u4 (0.97u1?) runs it, albeit with a few graphical glitches. If anyone else has a machine like mine and has problems, that version is available here.

[Large]

Slightly improvement. I have to admit, that I liked this game more some years ago. The music and the speed is so damn annoying.

OK this isn't working for me which will ruin this week for me. I can't wait that long to play this everytime I load it up. I have latest mame plus update and use 64 bit Vista.

You only need to wait one time, so if you've been able to play already then there'll be no wait on the next load. You need to hit F2 and then F3 (to restart) after the update, which is in the instructions. If you wanted to try the file again, take what's inside (if it's in a folder take it out I guess) and put that in \nvram\. Since you're using 64-bit Vista, you should be able to update faster than me if the file doesn't work

Would someone please tell me what the hell I did? I was on level 20 (I think), I dropped a bomb, and all of a sudden all the little medals exploded and turned into these big medal bars. The next thing I know, I'm getting nothing but those big medals, and they're climbing up 10,000 points with each pick up. I'm sure there's an explanation in the strategy thread on this site, but I didn't spot it.

Medaling in RFJ

Airborne medals can be combined with any medal to become higher-value medals, starting from a value of 100 to a value of 2048000 (which gives a special sound when made, and looks purple, blinging, and gold.)

To get the airborne medals to stick around and follow you, you have to have at least one Slave active, or graze. Since the latter isn't really an option in most cases, it's best to keep only one Slave around or you risk the airborne medal being prematurely collected before it hits the 2 million mark (32 medals collected). A special formation such as Forward may also prevent you from obtaining the medals until you destroy the slaves, so be careful.



After the 2048000 point medal is collected, 9 100-point medals have to be exposed (combining them will "destroy" the 100-point medals, so be careful) to enable the special medal mode.

The special medal mode will drastically increase your rank in RFJ. The medal value is increased Garegga style (10000 to 100000 in 10000 point steps), but without the possibility of recovering their value.

If you drop a medal in the special medal mode, the value for the next medal(s) that appear will go back down to 10000 and you will have to build the medal chain again.

A good run involving only Medaling and surviving can recieve anywhere between 65 to 80 million points by the end of Real Battle Phase 2, so new players might want to aim for this goal.

Ooohhhhhhh. So that's what happened. I did it again on level 5, so I guess now I know what to aim for.

Thanks for the clarification. I must have lost that bit in the mass of text in there.

Feel like I've been bashing my head against a wall...on the plus side I did survive the sea stage immediately before Phase 1 without dying. Died at the very beginning of Phase 1 as usual.

[The Coop]

I actually did a bit decently on this one...

Why oh why is it that every time I survive well my medaling is crap and every time my medaling goes well I die a million horrible deaths? Oh well, back to the drawing board.

Let me introduce you to a little trade secret called "rank"
