coffeejoerx - CRX - 5,818,330 - Area 5 - 73 - Type C - Sega Saturn



Dammit, I reach the fourth stage with lives and few bombs and I lost all in stupid deaths.

kollisionBR - EDW - 12,681,710 - Area 2-2 - 87 - Type A - PS1

It seems I was cursed, look how both best scores differ almost exactly by 1M.
In both runs I died my last life in exactly the same place: that very faint left pink laser of the second boss, after I had heard the JUST A COUPLE MORE SHOTS voice msg!

Well, that's it for this round, right when whatever I had of muscle memory was starting to show some consistency...
Hope this score keeps me in the top 5.

[AmidstStorm]

congrats kollision on the loop clear. Think you might be safe with that score

That's a great score, I can't score any points with type A and survival is a lot harder too

I've wanted to improve on this, but I haven't had much time, or luck to do so... I normally score in the high teen-millions, but I'm not on top of my game at all.


Smraedis - .SM - 15,167,380 - Area 2-4 - 93 - Type C - PCB

I did this when I was at Casino Arcade on the 5th, didn't realise the time for each game was so short.

[AmidstStorm]

Smraedis welcome. Yeah we changed down the game time to 15 days now.

The first game I haven't made the top 5

[kollisionBR]

Varth or Halley's Comet

Giga Wing will be only on MAME if selected, right?

[AmidstStorm]

Varth or Halley's Comet

Giga Wing will be only on MAME if selected, right?

Is the dreamcast version significantly different to the arcade version? That'd be a shame but then yes is the answer. what about the ps2 gigawing generations release? I don't know much about it??

What about battle garegga? How does the arcade version compare to the Saturn version?

Also it's been bought to my attention that the Japanese version of varth has checkpoints whereas the us/world version does not. Also the capcom ps2 collection release has the varth world version on so we should perhaps agree on the US/world version being used to open up more options for people to use.

Darius will be pcb/mame only. Unless there is a console port?

Did halleys Comet get a release on a taito compilation?

All these things can be ironed out before start of game so everyone plays the same version.

Just shout if you have any input as I can't possibly research all these things myself.

[Ads3]

Gigawing & Varth for me!

[weakboson]

I'll go with Giga Wing and Darius.
