[Ed Oscuro]

To celebrate a replacement for the really bad MAME Plus version I had been using, here is a new score:

Ed Oscuro - 673,080 - Phalcyon - Stage 4 - autofire off (first time playing past Stage 3 boss; first topaz/orange 2K point items seen)


THRUST!

Notice the boss is helping me celebrate

A trio of closely packed small bullets (small bullets are hard to see in this game because most things are BIG!) got me before I could react.

The Big item is grand - like the shmups equivalent of Bane's Venom (from the 1992 series of Batman), although the come-down isn't as dangerous Too bad newer shmups don't think and live large like this anymore.

Hi score thread updated. C'mon guys and girls, let's get some more scores up on this thread!

[Perikles]

We actually have a thread for this game? In that case:




Perikles - 1,428,170 - Phalcyon - ALL - ShmupMAME 4.2 - YES

Video

Fairly good run outside of the final boss (and the initials ). I don't think autofire is important in this game at all unless you do power up your ship (which is certainly not advised), the charge shot will do all the heavy lifting. Was surprised to eventually have that much fun with the game, it leaves a rather awkward first impression.

Yay after 5 years an update! Great score Perikles.

Pretty easy clear (by arcade shmup standards of easy) if you avoid power-ups and know some tricks and safespots for bosses
