Submission example
trap15 - 600,000 - ALL - PCB

[fenyxofshadows]

fenyxofshadows - 126,400 - 1-2 - MAME

just testing the game out and learning the controls

[ColonelFatso]

ColonelFatso - 427,700 - 1-5 - MAME

If my experience with Strikers is any indicator, I probably won't beat this score.

[Tigershark]

Early score on the doors:

Tigershark - 181,600 - 1-2 - XRA 2B - Mame

[ED-057]

ED-057 - 475,300 - 1-5 - BEARHAMMER - ShmupMAME2.2

[Skyline]

Skyline - 237,900 - 1-3 - MAME

Way back when Kenchan used to own the PCB, I was the only one who liked this game. i'd rather be playing the PCB right now, because the sound in MAME is much worse.

[chum]

Seriously how do you fuck up a simple thing like movement in a shmup? Just unforgivable, shame since the game is decent otherwise

chum - 768,000 - 2-1 - Shmupmame 2.2

I was listening to Yes when I recorded this! http://www.mediafire.com/?gihu8mx571c5b4t

[Despatche]

well, i wanted to play it

Despatche - 300,000 - 1-3 - ShmupMAME v2.2

[shmuppyLove]

Some early play, worked my way up to 250k:



shmuppyLove - 256,900 - 1-3 - MAME 143u9

[Skyline]

Skyline - 264,700 - 1-3 - MAME

[DocHauser]

DocHauser - 391,600 - 1-4 - Shmupmame 2.2

(Soundtrack: Meshuggah - Destroy Erase Improve)

I definitely need to do some more destroying and improving...

[Skyline]

Skyline - 373,600 - 1-4 - MAME

Somewhat liberal bomb usage paid off here. Psikyo game Stage 6 wall approaching.

[DocHauser]

Slight improvement already...

DocHauser - 448,900 - 1-5 - Shmupmame 2.2

(Soundtrack: U.S. Christmas - The Valley Path.)

There does seem to be a hefty rank increase around Stages 4 and 5. Not sure what my chances are for reaching Stage 6 or 7.

[iast]

iast - 389,600 - 1-4 - MAMEplus .147

[drunkninja24]

Some sloppy first credit play

drunkninja - 305,200 - 1-3 - MAME

[Zerst]

Zerst - 669,000 - 1-7 - MAME

[THD]

THD - 416,600 - 1-5 - MAME Plus! [Ash-Build]

Don't know if I can make that million.

[Pinehed]

Pinehed - 381,100 - 1-4 - MAMEPlus



Great game, great soundtrack. There's even a hilarious rendition of Slayer's South of Heaven, almost as good as some of the chiptune Slayer covers on youtube

[Tigershark]

Tigershark - 283,400 - 1-3 - XY01 - Shmupmame 2.2

Think this is the ship for me. The special ship has shot which I find distracting.

I listened to 10 Years while playing this run.

[Nifty]

Slightly below my old PB:

Nifty - 570,000 - 1-6 - Hellhound XRA-2B - MAME Plus! Ash-Build

Seriously how do you fuck up a simple thing like movement in a shmup? Just unforgivable, shame since the game is decent otherwise

What do you find wrong with the movement? If anything I've been impressed by some of the tight/late dodges this game lets me make.

[Skyline]

Skyline - 390,400 - 1-4 - MAME

Switched to Bearhammer. Let's see how this goes.

[coffeejoerx]

coffeejoerx - 359,900 - 1-4 - Shmupmame 2.2

[shmuppyLove]

The special ship has shot which I find distracting.

Ok I thought it was just me ... the homing shot shoots back at the player ship ... wtf

FUCK SEMICOM

[Skyline]

Skyline - 437,700 - 1-5 - MAME

Just a bit more progress for the extend.

[Yazphier]

Yazphier - 272,600 - 1-3 - MAME .146

havnt really decided which ship to use.... think i'll manage to get to 1-5 at least before the week is over.. ....

[chum]

chum - 921,700 - 2-2 - Shmupmame 2.2

Got a different boss in 1-6, didn't even know it existed and was forced to bomb it like mad... Anyone know what determines which boss you face? I had a route figured out for the one on the right :/

What do you find wrong with the movement? If anything I've been impressed by some of the tight/late dodges this game lets me make.

I find the opposite to be true, It's impossible to make precise movements in this game due to how you change speed depending on how long you hold a button for. Sure, It's nice for microtapping, but what if I don't to do a super tiny tap or a bold sweep, but something in between? It's horrible and I constantly find myself adjusting accordingly and that wouldn't be necessary in a normal shmup.

[Deca]

deca - 493,000 - 1-5 - mame

First score after a little bit of playing. Digging the HELLHOUND. Wish the game was ripping off Psikyo stage length along with everything else.

[Zerst]

If it's like S1999 you fight the boss on the opposite side of where your ship is when you pass the trigger zone.

[DocHauser]

DocHauser - 570,700 - 1-6 - Shmupmame 2.2

I did try playing it with MAME 0.148u3, but it sounded so bad that I went back to the silent version (which also has the advantage of autofire). Soundtrack this time: Tortoise - Millions Now Living Will Never Die.
