ZED BLADE ( OPERATION RAGNAROK )

[Raiden Fighters 2]

I open this page dedicated to ZED BLADE with a my record from 6.020.400, realized using l' to autofire. The game is recorded playing with l' MVS of ZED BLADE and soon will be put online in format AVI. Here the photo:

[DEL]

IT COMPLIMENTS! Knowing you, that must be a Huge score!
I have the MVS cart. I'll pop it back in and see just how Huge that score is....

EDIT:- Yes its a Huge score . You must be using a lot of milking tricks.

Ed Oscuro - 796,800 - 1-4 - Uncle Beard - 3-way, homing, wave

Lol what is it with NMK and shooting the ground? Don't try to graze the ground like in P-47 Aces though. My run came to an end when I got rammed in the asteroid stage from the top of the screen - was trying to graze the asteroids.

I used MAME Plus! autofire, the default rate of 3. I tried out a few different combinations of weapons (haven't tried all the individual choices yet; second forward shot choice doesn't grab me) but my first one seemed to be working the best.

I'm surprised I haven't tried this game out before. When I first got into MAME I recalled there was some game with a similar name that was a bad fighter (not thinking of Shit-no-ken aka Ragnagard), and for some reason this one always escaped my attention. I'm liking it much more than the other shooters I've played on the Neo Geo, including Last Resort and Anthro Dunce which are a similar type of game. I'm also liking it better than Pulstar and Blazing Star. The enemies stuck in blocks in the first stage take some attention off the fact that the forest stage is otherwise rather sparse, but they do interesting things with those blocks. Also points for the morphing animations.

Musically - reminds me at times of a Sonic game, or of Viewpoint, and even of Numan Athletics (the title screen sounds almost exactly like it belongs in Numan Athletics). The characters are amazing too. The last guy is a pretty hilarious Cruise / Stallone mashup (I swear I've seen that pose somewhere), check out the Top Gun logo on the badge. I chose Captain Beard in honor of neckbearded folk and fans of Aye-Ayes everywhere (that name is almost on par with Captain Waffle).

Its an awesome game and gets to be quite a challenge from Stage 7 onwards. I have no clue as to how to score high, so I'm just going for the ALL for now.

So DEL just installed this in the local arcade, and I'm instantly in love and keen to buy the MVS cart from somewhere!

I managed this:

spadgy - 1,171,200 - 1-5 - Uncle Beard - 3-way, homing, wave



Shame I won't get to play it again until the new year

Anyway - Raiden Fighters 2; are you going to set the first post of this thread up as a proper high score table (like the rest you'll find on this Forum's High Score area)? If you don't want to, I'd love to get one going. How does that sound?

[Skykid]

Quite enjoyed literally wiping Spadgy off of the scoreboard today with two higher scores. I lol'd!
I'm now in second place on the Casino scoreboard with this beauty:

Skykid - 1,383,300 - 1-5 - Ms Charlotte - 3-way, homing, 2 way

[spadgy]

Turd - just you wait sunshine! I'll not get my mitts on this until new year though.

And I'm giving it until tomorrow, and then I'm setting up a new scoreboard for this game. I'll PM Raiden Fighters 2 now...

EDIT: OK - 24 hours has almost past, and nothing. I'm almost done with the new Zed Blade board, but as my house has just been invaded by friends, I might have to make it live in the morning.
