I think I'm going to have a try at R-Type Final later this week. JT got me thinking about it again when he posted about the people making out/sexing it up in the background.

I've completed the SNES port on Arcade difficulty. Howzzat?

The last credit screen said something like this --

I'VE GIVEN UP
TECHNICAL MONKEY

Arcade difficulty the SNES port is still easier than easiest difficulty on the arcade version.

To me Jaws isn't a shmup, but it's not a BAD game either. After figuring out what part of the boat you gotta hit him with at the end and seeing one of the worst endings ever, it was rather anti-climatic.

And yeah go on and say that Gradius III on the SNES is a cakewalk compared to the arcade version. It might be, but in 1993/1994 beating that and U.N Squadron on the highest "hidden" difficulties was real to ME, dammit! [wrestlingfan.jpg]

Still playing Giga Wing 2...

Just managed to get to Stage 6 with one credit... :mrgreen:

Those last two bosses look like they are going to be a pain to 1cc though...

Hold me...
