Uhh... my best run so far is 9m :) The bosses are the best part! Such epic music, crazy ass patterns.

Who are you using? Also, you can pi k which stage you want as 2/3 by using B or C to pick your character, which helps to learn the stages at a set difficulty. Ill go on about more seecrets once the score thread is open.

Looks like its Ra.De time then!

I've had strikers 45 plus twice now, both boots :evil: Still hunting a legit copy.

Yeah, well, Ra.De i've only had 3 runs...though 9mil seems aways away. I must not be scoring at all though...where are you usually by stage 3? I hit stage 3 boss on this last run but only had 517K. I saw a multiplier for about 1/2 a second and then went back to normal scoring.

Maybe I go play while you start a thread? :wink:

And then some Geki tonight...

Still sinking time into Garegga.

I've been just randomly bombing stuff to see if I can find other stuff like the flamingoes. The only extra stuff I've seen is that on stage 3 from the beginning, if you bomb the steel grate in the middle of the screen, it'll reveal a shit-ton of medals; same if you bomb the tanks on the right side before you hit the airfield.

I'm stuck in a pattern of about 2.2 mil to 2.5 mil; I haven't beat my other score... yet. I'm gonna spend some more time with this, and probably some Gekirindan.

Simply put, a place or place(s) that I go to here that resemble and have actual cabinets :lol: I know of 2 that are 60-in-1, and one is the real deal (Global Arcade Classics by Global VR), and they have tons of classics including shmups, some by Taito so I'll try to get as many scores as I can. It's like TL2 for real :lol: Plus, other non-shmups I like to play, but to fit the spirit of the thread, I never thought of sharing those I play outside of the house, they count!

Holy crap. A 3-button shooter that isn't a lock-on system. Holy crap.

Ok dude, get that thread up and running. Someone just realized how to use the B and C buttons properly.

Hit 2.7mil on first run since the "discovery".

Oh, and bosses don't take 8 minutes anymore. This game is AMAZING. I feel like I just undid my first bra strap.

:lol: :lol:

I would start a thread, but all I have is my phone, so updating it would be tough (editing a post is difficult)

If you start it, I'll fill it with info while you shmup!

Oh, and I'm buying one of those mvs multicarts now xD)

ESP Ra.De. thread started.

Get in on this, Brad. MAME or not - Amazing. So glad I popped this in. There is more awesome in the first 30 seconds of this game, just wow. So stoked on this right now.

Its much different than "1942", or any of the "1900" games.

I also found it to be sucky.
