Shmup of the Month Club 2014 (Completed)

[dsheinem]

Are the points more in MAME or am I just fundamentally doing something wrong?

if you look at the shmups high score board the Saturn scores seem to be lower for the same progress compared to the arcade version

I'm not even being asked to input initials.

Am I doing something wrong or am I just so awful I'm not even making the high score board...?

You want to lock on to as many enemies as possible with one "net". The more enemies you can fit into one lock on, the higher the multiplier.

I think it goes up to 16x. So, if you don't do this, you're multiplier will be 1x. It makes a pretty big difference.

I'm doing that to the best of my ability, although in Area 2 that gets to be pretty difficult. Also, there's a huge high score of 1 million before initials can be inputted, I think.

I see.

The "lock on" happens automatically when you're close enough to enemies, right? So I should wait until I'm locked on to many instead of shooting as soon as I have one or two in my sights?

I've been getting my first Game Over in level 2 - usually near or at the boss - but yeah apparently the score it too pitiful to register.

I'll play again in a few days. My Saturn is currently being used for Ys.

Yes, but only to enemies beneath you. The more you have at one time (up to eight), the more points you'll get for that batch. There are some good opportunities about halfway through Area 1 and at the start of Area 2.

Here's my 1st shot at this. I got this awhile ago, but never put a lot of time into it.

foxhound1022 - 821,600 - Stage 4 - Layer Section
