2,904,660 - mjmjr25 - Hammer Duke - Area 6 (Boss) - PSX-J

[fvgazi]

I'm going to start this game on Saturday. Hopefully I can get it working on my psx.

On a side note...
MJ - f-you, I've wanted that TV ever since I was 9 years old. I used to daydream about that gamepro contest ad it was always in.

I owe sevin on this one - he was the one who spotted it on Atariage about 6 months ago and it happened to be moderately local since the guy wouldn't ship it. If it was ever used more than 10 hours i'd be surprised, came w/all original packaging (plastic, foam, warranty card, instructions, remote, sealed batteries, etc). Can not believe how much sound those speakers can put out - crazy.

Half my deaths are from avoiding unwanted weapons.
My favorite is weapon #6 for Hammer Duke.


Today's entry:

Area 8, Hammer Duke

Ha ha, yeah, the powerups are the most dangerous thing in this game, aside the final boss

[ExedExes]

Still in glorious-hideous Warp-O-Vision (TM)
Apparently screenshots aren't as easy as "press F8" (added Max Hit & Max Chain on this play from the other warped shot)

EDIT: Thank you for the level of trust you have in us here Bruno (regarding screenshots), but yes, fulfillment and pride are also good reasons in doing such a thing, and I would not post something I myself did not obtain in good faith.



ExedExes - 3,510,120 - Hammer Duke - Area 6 (boss)

Final area 6 boss does not let up with the shots and I was on the last back gun port with 8 seconds left to clear, so my 2 options at that point were (1) - run out of time and fail or (2) try my damn-dest to clear it but sadly I could not do either of those. 2 lives and maybe switching from the awesome weapon 6 (Hash knows) to 1 before reaching it

Speakin of that, watch it man cuz I'm a comin!

Area 9 - "The Core of the System" is a bit of a trip, after I beat the 2nd mid-boss I thought I beat the game w/9 lives left. Then the area "tips" and you enter that funnel w/the ships coming from the center of it and revolving around you. I died there on weapon "0" - w/no powerups I just had to survive that stretch firing weapon 0 (not ideal in that area, uggh) - ended up losing 4 lives there.

Ended up dying out on the final boss - I "think" he was on his last legs, but not sure. Died 5 times on him :/

5,500,440 - mjmjr25 - Knife Edge - Area 9 (final boss) - PSX-J

5,500,440 - mjmjr25 - Knife Edge - Area 9 (final boss) - PSX-J

So much for getting a break from the game tonight. Back to work!

(yeah, good score)

Maybe we should have picked 2 compile games. Everyone is going to clear this by the halfway mark at this point
