Small improvement:

marus-MPO - 24,210,020 - Stage 4 - Bond / Silister Similis / Type D - PCB

A lot of things about this game make no sense to me I haven't really had time to just sit with the game and figure stuff out.

More Improvement

23,739,810 - wnka-PDP - Stage 6 - Bond / Dio Spirossi / Type D

Marus and I played a ton last night, trying to figure out what we're doing.

[pixeljunkie]

Not awesome, but slowly getting the hang of this one. Awesome game.

I got to level 5 boss and made some progress.

This was actually from last week, but I forgot to record it at the time. Anyways, right now I've mainly been focusing on getting ready for Evo, but after that's done with I'd like to sit down with some shmups again. I'm not sure how deep I really want to delve into this game though - it's fun, but it hasn't really gripped as much as other games I could be playing, but then on the other hand I probably won't have another chance to play this game once it leaves Full Tilt. So we'll see I guess.

I went to the arcade to play Super Turbo and nobody was there. FML.

[AKRATEN]

I played a game this morning after taking a break.
I made some progress .

[AKRATEN]

i got in a game after work , First time on Level 6


Akraten - 37,680,080 - 6 - Bond/Dio Spirossi / Type D - PCB

[AKRATEN]

First time getting to the final boss.




Akraten - 44,786,020 - 6 - Bond/Dio Spirossi / Type D - PCB

[wnka]

Got to final boss, literally one pixel left on first life bar. I thought I was one pixel away from a 1cc, but now I realize that the life bar refills and there are more forms.



32,388,280 - wnka-PDP - Stage 6 - Bond / Dio Spirossi / Type D

[AKRATEN]

I played a couple games this evening and made some progression.
I think I am getting the hang of level 5.

As I'm in that high score list with my lame score, I'll just do this:

JOR - 5,921,210 - 3 - Bond/Dio Spirossi / Type D - PCB

[KAI]

Not as fun as Ibara Arrange, but here's my score:

KAI - 17,077,680 - 5 - Dyne/Dio Spirossi / Type D - Slowpoke Mame

I still don't get the scoring mechanics.

[Despatche]

I really don't know what I want to do about Slowpoke MAME, so I'm going to add such scores and mark them with a (!) for some reason.

[KAI]

KAI - 21,046,220 - 6 - Dyne/Dio Spirossi / Type D - Slowpoke Mame

The game works perfect, I think there's no need for a ! or a separated table.

[marus]

The game is far from perfect. There's a lot of speed differences, especially in some of the later stages and when the rank is high.

That said, it's nowhere near as bad as the rest of the SH3 games. I don't think there's a need for a separated table, as long as Mame scores are marked as such.

[KAI]

KAI - 26,140,260 - 5 - Dyne/Dio Spirossi / Type D - Slowpoke Mame


By speed differences you mean the PCB is faster or slower? cause I haven't see any slowdown so far using MAME.

[marus]

The Mame version is missing a lot of slowdown. I haven't played the game in a while and I don't have access to the board anymore, but I distinctly remember Mame being a lot faster on parts like the train sections in stage 3 on max rank, and a few parts in stage 5 too. Also I always had a lot of flicker while practicing in Mame, although that's more likely due to my computer rather than the emulation itself.

I still think the game is quite playable in Mame mind you, but it's far from perfect.

[Despatche]

Oops, I guess I didn't actually add the score. Done.

MAME is a handicap if anything. Seems like scores should be allowed, unless MAME does something to the game to make it easier.

I'm only putting a (!) because I'm not really "supposed" to include MAME scores yet.

Please add my score too.

[Despatche]

What the hell? I distinctly remember adding these three scores in there...

Either way, they're in now. Sorry about that.

[KAI]

Is there a discussion/strategy thread or videos so I can learn to play this thing properly?

[KAI]

Fuck Yeah!! beated GP.

KAI - 38,248,890 - 6 - Dyne/Dio Spirossi/Type D - Slowpoke Mame

Can't stand that TLB, I just don't know how to kill her.

[marus]

Nice job! Also I missed your last post, but there's a superplay video floating around somewhere on the net. I'm at work right now but I can get you the link later.
