Absolutely no idea what twinkle star sprites is like, will check it out later. If anyone wants to fill me in on what the arcade default settings are and how the other versions relate. Eg. Mvs settings are difficulty 4 on dreamcast. Are the different console formats all arcade ports. Things like that. But anyhow I recommend people play it on mame or neo geo systems until we have confirmation that the other versions are direct ports.

Game will officially start Saturday 14th April at 00:00am but will take scores from now. I need to research everything regarding submission details so please take note of things like, stage reached, initials on scoreboards, characters, shot type, the usual stuff til I get a chance to research.

Twinkle star sprites.

Enjoy

No idea what twinkle star sprites is like, I didn't fancy thunder force after arrow flash and not to fussed with cave games. I always thought it was a multiplayer game?

[AmidstStorm]

Me too... In fact, that's the one thing I remember about it now.

We have the rest of the day to play test it.

[AmidstStorm]

Hmm it definitely sounds like this is going to be a pain in the arse in one player, but I will hold comment til I've played it. Time to get up. First credit score imminent

Hardcore Gaming 101 rules!

I never thought I'd be playing this game so soon...
Will be enjoying the Saturn version.

[AmidstStorm]

Ok had a quick play. I'll do the submission details now.

Hit about 200k on first credit. This game is going to become annoying yet ridiculously addictive I can tell

edit: submissions details are up. Please let me know if you discover any other details about the game.. eg. second loops = bonus points.. score variations across the formats etc.

Get a bonus half day here.. submissions are live as of now.

Game on!

Phone post. A few things about tge game: 1 loop only. Ports are all ok afaik. The version u unlock on TSS:La petite princess is not good but good PS2 version is on ADK TAmashi compilation. Will explain more on sunday if need be.

[AmidstStorm]

First few credits: Fun game.. gonna take awhile to get my head around the point scoring/chaining but for now im just gonna hammer it and see what happens. Need a version of mame with arcade stick compatibilty sharpish! Hate the PS2 d-pad.

AmidstStorm - AMS - 363,850 - 17 - Stage 4 - Load Run - Story - MAME

I wasn't particularly keen on playing DoDonPachi, but at least the music was decent.

The people who voted for this nonsense should be shot....out of a cannon...into the sun. Just looking at the front cover of this makes me want to slam my head on the desk.

Haha, have to somewhat agree. Fun game though but i'm already swearing at it.

weakboson - FJK - 432,770 - 15 - Stage 5 - Load Run - Story - MAME

Was kind of disappointed that DDP didn't win but this game is surprisingly fun.

[AmidstStorm]

This is better than i first thought. I'm purely playing for survival at the moment but I can't feel my thumbs already.
