Arcade mode, the Saturn mode adds an extra stage at the beginning (With a really cool remix of the first track from Donpachi), and the difficulty/extends are altered in the players favor as well.

Oh, and you fight the True Last Boss of the 2nd loop, no matter what, but at the end of the first loop (Which there is only one of in the arrange)

I played a bunch today. Slight improvement in score, but I'm still not playing to the full extent of the jam.

^ :lol: Awesome.
Well, it seems my chaining problem is getting better; in both stages 1 & 2. Still inconsistent as hell, but much better than a couple days ago. So some improvement here due largely to a much better stage 1...

Got to Stage 6 with 2 lives and may have had my best run on any game ever, I was unconscious. Cleared first 3 stages w/o dying, had my max running the entire 3rd stage and didn't bomb once until the 3rd boss. Had my highest chain by far (238) and like I said, stage 6 w/2 lives...and still didn't make the boss.

As exciting as it was - I also feel discouraged. I honestly don't know if I can play that well again. Oddly, the 1-All feels further away right now than it ever has :/

Nice, that is a great score!

Man I wish I had a DDP PCB right now.

^Thought you were playing on PCB? Or did you sell yours already?

That score is from a couple months ago :o I think I've owned 4 different DDP PCBs now..

I actually don't have any PCBs in the cab right now, haven't had any time lately. After seeing all your guys killer scores, I wish I did!

Made it to Stage 6 for the first time. I had one life to spare so I bombed my way through as far as I could. Those green stars got me in the end...
