RAYFORCE / GALACTIC ATTACK / LAYER SECTION - Hi-Scores

[RyaNtheSlayA]

Man, it seems this is the only high score thread that is really active. I suppose I'll join in.

Yeah, it isn't bullet-hell by any means, but it's got some nicely designed stages with gorgeous backdrops. The lock-on mechanism is such a different take on "B - Button = Big Bomb". Though, I like my bosses to be a bit more challenging (says the guy who dies 2-3 times on stage 2 :/ )

Have fun with the Stage 5 boss and beyond.

Stage 6 just bitchslaps me. I've never actually beaten it.

I always preferred Soujyugurentai for a lock-on shooter, so I sold my copy of this port. I dld a rom though, as I want to play what the peeps are playing.

Yeah, I may put together a Soukyugurentai scoring thread. I've just been too lazy this week.

I think I may start a River Raid thread, but I don't know if I could get anybody else to partake.

It's a great game despite it's simplicity.

I've been meaning to do that too. It might be a little tricky setting it up with all the extra japanese menus.

I would say I like the lock-on system in that game way more than in layer section, especially with the unlockable feature for targeting with 2 buttons.

Should be pretty easy. I think that difficulty 4 or 5 is the arcade difficulty. It's written in Japanese but easily identifiable by the "AC" included in the text.

If we are going to run a scoring thread, we're definitely going to need some rules. Souky lets you modify just about everything.

Everything in the special menu would have to be turned off.

Does anyone know the differences between Gunlock and Rayforce, if there are any?

Nothing is different but the name. Never have I seen a shmup (or any game in general) take on 4 distinct names.

I didn't know I could not run into the wing of the boss. I am getting better though haha

^Hey, can you lay it out in the format from the OP, makes it MUCH easier to copy / paste - thanks.
