Shmup of the Month Club 2012

[ExedExes]

My apologies for not playing as I should, as soon as September rolled it in it seemed that with the change of the season was the change in my outside-RB activities and gaming in general.

I found the yellow weapon to be most useful in Stage 3, only because its multi-directional and it works great on both bosses.

Stage 4 has a part that reminds me of that one enemy back in Stage 3 of Metal Black that has that nasty habit of closing the top and bottom part of the passage on you if you don't destroy it quickly enough. Think of that times 5/6 and thats what Stage 4 is here.

Anyways, to stay in the race here --

ExedExes - 1,178,100 - Stage 4 - MAME



In other news, I finally won a copy of Mars Matrix for November, and it's on its way!

Good stuff, man. I think you'll like MM; that's if you like brutal beat-downs. That game is tough.

I gotta find that sweet spot for the Stage 4 boss.

1,117,300 - hashiriya1 - Stage 4 - PSX-J

Pretty quiet this month. Updated the OP real quick, not sure about version differences so I guess we'll keep it to one score table?

[ExedExes]

I am not aware of any port differences for this game.

Made it to the end of Stage 4. For the boss, the blue weapon is best.

I feel with each new stage, it gets harder and more gruesome, graphics wise. I always enjoy a good hori.

ExedExes - 1,575,000 - Stage 5 - MAME

New score. Stage 5 boss is laughably easy, if you know what to do (get underneath him)

ExedExes - 2,231,400 - Stage 6 - MAME

Man, I can't believe how much STGT sapped me. I like this game a lot, but haven't played more than 3 hours total all month.

I hear that; I've been mostly playing fighters lately. Just don't have the ambition to shmup that much for now.

I'll be back home in California right before the end of the month. Hopefully I'll have a chance to play one more time if I am not too jetlagged, and if I have any motivation to play..which is hard to come by with this game.

Not a lot of players turned out for X-M.

I curious how many will show up for E-E.

I know we'll draw a bit of a crowd for Mars Matrix.
