Sky Soldiers

[Kaiser]

In the year 2090, mankind invents a supercomputer called Desmoura to manage Earth’s environment. Capable of replicating itself in various technological inventions, Desmoura achieves sentience as it sets itself around Earth’s orbit. It becomes so powerful when it gains the capabilities to build a time machine in a matter of twenty years. Without warning or reason, Desmoura sends various war machines back in time by 100 years and starts attacking mankind’s past technological feats possibly to change Earth's history. Special space fighters called STEALTHs are sent to fly against Desmoura’s forces, attack the affected timelines and eventually destroy Desmoura.

This is Sky Soldiers, an underappreciated shmup by Alpha Denshi from 1988, currently only US/Bootleg versions are emulated in MAME. However worth noting that the game is set to hard mode by default. Which is why i'm gonna have seperate boards for different difficulties.

I assume it was played on default settings, so I put that score in the hard table.

Yes Kaiser, it was the arcade PCB default. It wasn't exactly a walkover 1CC

Oh I know, I already lose it at stage 5, and I saw what's later, EMP dropping bomber (that reverses your controls until you die), the final boss rush. Must have taken a long while to pull off, especially when you die, all that's left is a peashooter.

Absolutely Kaiser. As far as I remember, the 1CC always involved a 1LC. Dying was not an option. I think it took me about three weeks before I got the first ALL. Then I went for a bit of score with the balloon spewing Boss.
