IMPORTANT NOTICE! Due to Gradius Generation's differences in scoring mechanics (an extra 5000 point hidden bonus and points for power-ups), the boards have been split up. I am keeping an overall chart, so all the old scores will stand. It would be greatly appreciated if those involved thus far would post or PM me which versions you are playing so you could be added to the proper game chart. Thanks in advance.

Good luck!

I should get CCC-Shiner to register here, he has a "movie" of himself no-deathing the first loop on Hard difficulty.

crithit5000 · Post by **crithit5000** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 5:25 am

I've seen the one with his commentary, and it's a damn fine vid. Maybe I should PM him over at ikaruga.co.uk...I'd be totally happy to throw a Easy and Hard difficulty scoreboard up in my first post.

Anyone have access to the old forums? I don't have my high score anymore as it was recorded in the old forum.

Slight improvement (and I mean slight...)

Edit:Another improvement-

My score from a while ago, although I'm having a hard time beating it..

iatneH/374,700/1-6/Type D

Seems like Type D is the ship of choice...

alpha5099 · Post by **alpha5099** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 6:36 pm

alpha5099 - 379,000 - 1-6 - Type D

Level 6 is the organic level, reminscient of the first level of Salamander 2, right? That's where I ended. Beat the 4th boss for the first, made it through all of the Maoi level (I think the boss just self-destructed, I don't think I actually beat him), and then I got destroyed by suicide bullets from masses of flesh.

Fun little game. It's nice to have a handheld game that's really actually good, instead of just "good for a handheld."

captain ahar/450,900/1-7/Type A

lost my first man at the beginning, and this, being the hardest level to recover in (for me), i bought it for final at the end where the line of enemies comes out, firing on you like crazy.

oh, hard is friggin fun, is this basically the same diff as Loop 2?

You can surely do some heavy-duty boss milking in this game

Minzoku · Post by **Minzoku** » Mon May 09, 2005 12:53 pm

Ow, the slashes kind of make it hard to read

Whee, finally got past the suicide fireballs

despite my complete stupid death in stage 1

*waits patiently for the game to show the high score list again*

Minzoku / 182,500 / 1-4? / Type B-Force Field

BOTTOM OF THE LIST, WHEE

[gotta start somewhere...]

crithit5000 · Post by **crithit5000** » Sun May 15, 2005 3:28 pm

Okay, changed the formatting to use dashes instead...sorry for my above stupidity

captain ahar - 488, 400 - 1-7 - Type A

minor improvement in score, didn't get as far as last time. takin out extra Maoi heads and their rings really boosts things up.

also, anyone know of a "secret" scoring opportunity in the first stage.

anyway, on the lower-left side of the platform is another little platform. slide through for 5,000 points.

There are several of those, actually:

Gradius Homeworld's list

I've never gotten #4 to work on the US version though.

Edit: fixed broken link.

captain ahar · Post by **captain ahar** » Tue May 31, 2005 6:40 pm

well i certainly won't be trying many of those in the near future. haha

still haven't cleared the thing, so risky maneuvers are out until i get more comfortable.

thanks. pic changed to reflect real bonus.

edit: no extend = mildly unhappy ahar

flux · Post by **flux** » Tue May 31, 2005 7:51 pm

I just got this a few weeks ago. I almost got to 1-4 today in school. I'll post a score when I get that far.
I was wondering, though, what's the extend on this (if there is any)?

There is none.

EIHoppe · Post by **EIHoppe** » Tue May 31, 2005 9:25 pm

EIHoppe - 633,800 - 1-8 - Type D - Force Field

Would've most likely been a 2nd loop score if I didn't screw up the high-speed section as I usually do and lose all my powerups for the string of bosses.
Oh well. I'll have to make another run during the next cartrip I take to (insert place name here that's far away).

Tomtom - 370,000 - 1-6 - Type D - Force Field

I finally found this game yesterday and I must say it is quite lovely. I just wish there were some extends, though, when you get a stupid death it really hurts. Still, I like it a lot, except for the beginning of the Stage 3 music.

Tar-Palantir · Post by **Tar-Palantir** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 4:34 am

Tar-Palantir- 421,300 - 1-7 - Type B

For the record, achieved under the influence of maybe 250mL of Captain Morgan's

Zach Keene · Post by **Zach Keene** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 2:31 am

I dunno if anyone's playing Generation (I will be since I just got a copy), but if so we might want a separate board for it. The extra 5000 hotspot might not be much of a score advantage, but the extra 100 points per powerup will add up.

crithit5000 · Post by **crithit5000** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 3:18 am

Indeed, I was thinking that last week when I revised the title of this thread (reasoning behind that was because the high score index indicated this thread as all three). If everyone involved thus far can tell me what version they're playing, I'd be happy to split up the tables properly as soon as possible.

Zach Keene · Post by **Zach Keene** » Tue Dec 06, 2005 4:24 am

My posted score is a Galaxies score (with force field).

Minzoku · Post by **Minzoku** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 2:36 pm

Er, Galaxies, and I ought to break it out again

been spending too much time reading and drawing on lunch break instead, for shame!

crithit5000 · Post by **crithit5000** » Wed Dec 07, 2005 3:24 pm

Tables split and cleaned up, but I kept an overall chart. Really need to get back into this game as my score is absolutely pathetic.
