The RGF Shmup League - Season #3 Game #2: taking nominations

[Stormy-X]

Stormy-X - SIN - 273,200 - 1-4 - XBLA - Off

I think I have reached the limits of my meagre gaming skills now.

[AmidstStorm]

Keep at it Stormy X. You only need another 30k to go 4th in the rankings with only 3 days to go!

Stage 4 seems a bit much to handle at first and does take some learning. Wise selection of where you place your force on the front or back of your ship makes this stage easier. I can't remember the exact number but I think I change perhaps 3-4 times.

[Stormy-X]

Thanks Amidst, I will have a few more goes.

I won't be happy until I've beaten level 4. I can pretty much get through the first three levels without losing a life now and through trial and error, I think I've worked out where to swap the force over on the parts of level 4 that I've seen so far.

My wife is working late tonight, so I can play without any nagging.

[kollisionBR]

I don't know what's happening to me.
In the last few days I haven't been able to get past the 5th boss. It seems the bastard is angry or something, and the autofire on the 360 isn't quite the same as MAME's.

I'm angry right now, I need to punch something.

I somewhat feel your pain. Had quite a break from serious play and been playing the odd credit of other versions.

Think my 593k will be my final submission.

Happy with my achievement.

EDIT: on a side note. Anyone interested in playing in the team for STGT '12 will need to have signed up and registered by the end of the week. Still 3 available places.

Rankings updated (2 Days, 3hrs, 8 mins remaining)

I'm sure there are alot of people who never visit the high score section of this forum, and not even know this exists. Be good to have more players next season.

If anyone would like to help promote the league a bit throughout this site then feel free add a link in your signature via the profile settings on your user control panel.

PM me if you need the code or any help doing this.

Good work minty, Retaining that 4th ranking spot I see.

Final submission day folks and there's less than 10 hours to go.

Here's the current game rankings:



Just a reminder or for those who joined the league recently and don't know. Going into the final game of the season, the top 5 ranking players for the current game will not nominate a new game. I have compiled a list of the top voted games that we didn't get to play from throughout the season. I will announce the 5 games for players to vote on sometime after midnight (UK GMT). All players who submitted a valid score for R-Type will get the normal 2 votes.

[kollisionBR]

kollisionBR - EDW - 731,000 - 2-4 - XBLA - Off/On



I timed out against boss 1-2, losing 10.000 points there.
Then I made a series of unfortunate mistakes in stage 2-4. And I 'm almost sure that the battleship's rear burner cannot be destroyed in 2-3.....

So close to Smraedis, if I have another window today I might go for another try.

[AmidstStorm]

Wow.. well that's me out of the running for 2nd

Really great score there kollision and enough to put you top of the league

ArcadeMYK failed to submit a photo of his high score in time. I will allow until start of next game for him to post one or contact me and then his score will be deleted sadly.

[wolfman24]

gunbird and raiden fighters jet

[coffeejoerx]

I will vote in Aero blasters/Air Buster and In The Hunt.

[Misery]

I have no interest in these, so I'll be sitting out again.

The Raiden one is tempting...... or it would be if it wasnt Jet. I remember something about the scoring being absurdly obnoxious, that was the one in the Aces collection that I rarely touched. Fighters 1 and 2 were bloody brilliant though.

Just dont like any of the others. Well, Gunbird isnt terrible, it's decent enough, but playing that one for score..... yeah, thanks, I'll pass.
