Konami Antiques: MSX Collection

[Zach Keene]

Shmup games only, obviously; brag about your omfgpwnz0r3d Ping Pong scores elsewhere.

Assume non-MSX versions of these games aren't score compatable (definately the case with Gradius, Super Cobra, and Salamander.)

Sky Jaguar

Andi - 62,800 - Scene 7 - Saturn

Time to go work on a good Knightmare score now. Yay!

[Andi]

As promised:

Knightmare

Andi - 132,620 - Level 3 - Saturn

[Shatterhand]

Sky Jaguar
136740 Scene 14

Man , I used to play this better back at the old days.

Playing this now, after so many years, makes me remember why I like oldschool gameplay and big hitboxes so much..

[Shatterhand]

Oh, I was playing in the Saturn ,

Would you accept hi-scores from a genuine MSX? I'd prefer playing on a real MSX than the Saturn (Though Sky Jaguar is pretty identical in both anyway)

[Cthulhu]

I'd love to join in too, but my Saturn is far away... my MSX emulators are right at hand though! If that counts, I'll see if I can can polish up my Knightmare skills again.

[Zach Keene]

Genuine MSX scores are more than welcome, and I see no reason to disallow emulators since that's probably what the PSX/SAT versions are anyway.

[Andi]

I noticed that you don't have a score board for Pippols. Is there a reason in particular or did you just overlook it?

In any case, I'd like to request one. Here's a score to get things rolling.

Andi - 223,090 - Scene 5 - Saturn

Scene 5 is made of Moai heads. Oh Konami, those devils.

I'm working on a high score for Sky Jaguar to trump Shatterhand's. It will probably be a while though.

[Zach Keene]

I noticed that you don't have a score board for Pippols. Is there a reason in particular or did you just overlook it?

Hadn't ever got around to trying it, to be perfectly honest. I'll add it in a bit.

[Andi]

While I realize I haven't usurped Shatterhand yet, I consider this a pretty notable update.

Sky Jaguar

Andi - 115,150 - Scene 11 - Saturn

I'm guessing on the scene number, but it doesn't really seem that important.

[Andi]

Pippols

Andi - 422,390 - Scene 9 - Saturn

Labelling scenes in this game is kind of hard because sometimes if you make a wrong choice at the end of the level it will send you back a couple of levels. But, I completed 9 scenes, so...

[Shatterhand]

You know, it may be a little too late to say that, but.

I think I remember the shortest route to finish Pippols.

For the "1st loop", if I remember correctly, you should go left, left, left and then right, and you are in the final stage. Good luck against those pesky moai heads though

I don't remember the order in your way back (or the "2nd loop" ), but if I play it again, I may remember

[Andi]

Super Cobra - 66,760 - Zone 10

Damn hard game.

[ave]

Gradius 2 (genuine MSX score)

AVE - 582,000 - 1-7

no picture unfortunately, I can't seem to find a ranking list in the MSX version and the score vanishes in seconds after you lost your credit :/

[Mero]

TwinBee

Mero - 1,596,100 - 2-4 - PS1



If anyone ever submits a score for this done on Saturn or genuine MSX then you may want to keep my score seperate since it was done on the Playstation version, though I've seen a video of MSX TwinBee running on the original hardware and I don't really see much difference.

Also, this score was done with manual fire. I wouldn't normally mention this, but if you try to use autofire via a peripheral on this you'll get one bullet every 1-2 seconds.
