Not sure if the dip switch settings are right on the Taito Type X version I'm playing. Enemy bullet speed seems a tad faster than in clips that I've watched. I'll keep trying anyway, even if I am making it harder for myself...

I notice there are DLC ships for the XBox360 version. Do these give you much of an advantage compared to the default ship?

I am starting to get burnt out. It's probably because restarting on a 360 takes too long. I rage reset if I don't get at least 3,000,000 by the end of 1-1.

But since I am a masochist, I'll keep playing.

Dude, I never hit 3 mil by the end of the 1st stage. I worry about pts. on the later ones.

My average is around 2.7 mil.

Still struggling with Arcade Original, so at the minute I'm having more fun by playing Arcade Light on Dual Play, by mapping both ships to the same pad and controlling both at once. Still haven't made it past Stage 3, though!
