Shmup of the Month Club 2012

Thanks doods. As for V-V, I have never even heard of it!

So you play on keyboard then? Or with mouse?

Keyboard, i wish. I can barely play Super Mario Bros on an NES emulator with a keyboard! I use a Saturn USB pad for MAME shooters and a Saturn PSX pad for PS1/PS2 shooters.

@hash, even more impressive is when you post insanely high scores and the screenshot is on PSP. I have no idea how you're so good with such a detrimental d-pad for shmups!

@Exed, be aware that it was mentioned in the V-V discussion thread on Shmups that the Genesis version is not acceptable for scores as the difficulty is different than the arcade game.

While Hashi shows RB how the shmup is done (again), I think the Touhou Is Harder team would love to have him aboard

Wait.

Hash - so...most of your time was spent playing at work...AND you used a handheld controller?

Where do you work that this goes unnoticed!!

More importantly...are they hiring?

Be glad you got him. It's unfortunate that we can't have a RB superteam with all of us representing this place there.

EDIT: As I finished typing this looks like the T.I.H team is gonna take it away again with one of its members getting 11 million (?!)

I also understand that it's just V-V and not Grindstormer the arcade game either. Apparently the Grindstormer ROM does away with the Gradius-style powerup bar and just awards certain types of powerups from enemies, like the Life Force arcade cab did.

I have my own office (law firm) so when I hear the boss coming from a mile away I close MAME and hide the controller on top of the desktop tower under the desk. They rarely, if ever, come by anyway. I only play when all the work for the day is done and there is nothing left for me to do, but I can't leave yet. There were times when I was doing really well and had to shut it down. I don't think they would care as long as everything is done, but it's still not good to be caught. When I quit I'll recommend you. You would have to move out to California!



By the way, can anyone link me to a V-V ROM? I can only find Grind Stormer.

Thanks! I thought romnation was gone so I didn't bother looking there.

Since there is no sound with the ROM I have, I am using Guile stage music. It fits quite well!
