I probably won't play much til December for Dodonpachi. I have a lot going on until about the 2nd week of December, plus a couple overseas trips. I'll try to get some scores in my free time, but they won't be very good. I'll the year with a bang with DoDonPachi.

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

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


Still working on X-M. Stage 6 is where the game gets *real*.

You know I'll be there for *my* game.

And I secured a copy of Mars Matrix for the DC when we do that.

Keep the shmup blood a flowin!

Final submission on this game for the month --

Image

ExedExes - 2,684,800 - Stage 7 - MAME

Yes, Stage 7. Make it through 6 and you get another extend. The way down is worse than Stage 4, but the easy boss (notice a pattern here?) makes it worth it. BUT, Stage 7 chews you up and spits you out, and throws you some of the worst checkpoints ever. Glad to have experienced it, and I did as best as I could.

See you next month!

Yay October!

I like the new title. My sig shines!

I haven't forgotten about it!

I'm gonna limp-in with a rather weak score so far. I'm a bit out of shape, but like Axelay back in February, I can do much better. I didn't sink token after token into many Ultracade cabinets for nothing!

ExedExes (the name) - 177,500 - Round 3 - MAME

I tried doing EXED RB#1 but it was a fail. No space next time :lol:

Something must be wrong with my MAME rom: the bullets don't fire all the way to the top of the screen :(

Nothing wrong with that at all, that's how it is. Bullets only travel halfway, but powered-up bullets travel father. One of the neat little quirks about the game :)

that "neat little quirk" is, to me, an "off-putting mechanic"
