Nice scores Curly & Noise, that's some quick progress. I will update tonight.

It's a hard game isn't it? Or is it just me... I've had a few runs toniht and scores are nowhere near as high as I thought they used to be! LOL

Gonna stick with it though and try to get a score worth posting!

Glad to see you here! Yeah, this game doesn't have tons of bullets, but they are fast and tricky. Like a nice middleground between oldschool (Seibu, Toaplan), and new (Cave)

Keep at it! Complete the Magic Mirror!

I'm really loving learning this one. Yesterday I hated the train. Today I can do it without a single bomb.

[Curlypaul]

The train is a bitch, its a long wait to get to the power ups and there are some nasty bullet patterns to dodge. The robots on the first part are nasty, the front one fires at you and while you are dodging, the fucker behind him fires a fast spray of bullets at you. Nasty.

Great game though, and nice score Noise not too far off an extra life

[noiseredux]

yeah I mean I can get through the train without losing a life... but not every time. But I've been really trying to not bomb the train at all, just in the theory that doing so will force me to get better at the game in general. The first cart of robots isn't too bad, since you can mostly just blast them head-on. Second cart is pretty easy in my opinion if you just kind of weave left to right to left dodging their spray each passthrough. But the third cart is a bastard and you really need to time your path.

I actually think the train level is harder than that water level that's after the random ones.

At any rate, yeah I'm really hoping to hit 400k just to get the extend, haha.

The nice thing is, if you get a hard stage like the train early, you don't have to deal with it later.

The Train is nasty on stage 1, but it is really nasty as stage 4.

I should finally have time to pop this in the cab today. Everyone is so close to the extend!!

Ha ha, I should have just taken a pic of that thing, but lets hope I translated it to PM properly

Just remember to set your extends to 600,000 >.>

I looked up this game on Twin Galaxies today and Mjmjr25 is actually beating the record that they have on there.

I was thinking about submitting something, but it looks like a bit of agro to record things in a way that they are happy with. Also, to play this game I currently use an AR cart to get it to load. Presumably I'd have to buy a Japanese Saturn for them to be happy with the film.

They have updated the site lately but it still looks like something from Geocities.

[dunpeal2064]

Dang, never heard of Twin Galexies. Thats strange that no one submitted a score over 400k. Mike's on a pcb, maybe he should go take that record
