Shmup of the Month Club 2012

pierrot - 12,488,391,820 - Stage 2 - Mosquito 2 - 162,178 xp - DC (4)

...

Broke 10 bill and I'm done for this month. Don't even care that it's an inflated DC score, this game is was out of my league.

See you all in a couple days for DoDonPachi.

Nice run there P.

Looks like you almost a had EE there for a minute.

So, just a quick question, any ideas for club ideas in 2013? I'm going to be pretty much tied up in January, and as of now there's zero schedule ideas. Members have expressed interest in continuing the club/thread, but no real hard plans have been made. I could always make up a schedule of my own from scratch I suppose... but yeah, any suggestions/tips/anything or requests for the 2013 shmup club here?

[Tyranix95]

... Done.

ExedExes - 13,474,254,610 - Stage 3 - Mosquito 2 - 234814 EXP - MAME (dif 4)

...

Started Stage 2 with 75K exp, and finally got to meet the infamous "Crab Boss" for all of 30 seconds.

Nice.

Looks like someone on this board needs a new pair of pants.

[Tyranix95]

Nice, TX. Way to show that Crab who's really boss!

But as you probably saw, the real fight has just begun. Stage 4 is harsh; arguably tougher than stage 5...

I just had some Thanksgiving Day left overs for dinner.

TX. - 38,727,405,890 - Exp: 418,139 (Lv. 6) - STG 4 - CPS2 (Dif: 4)

I can't believe I died right at the at the 1-UP. / Eh, maybe next time (if I get some more time to play) I'll get it.




Hey C, You're right: I score a lot more Exp on runs when I'm chaining lots of little 1pt cubes and only get the "Big" cubes when I need more time to get another little cube.

Also, I've got to get a good start on Lv1. The game is so much easier when my Fighter is Lv4 at the end of Lv1, and Lv5 at the end of Lv2.

I enjoyed playing these games, and would like to see these return next year:

1. May: Raizing - Great Mahou Daisakusen
2. November: Takumi - Mars Matrix

And, I would like to see a couple of these games added to the list. Whatever you guys feel like playing is fine with me.

1. 19XX.
2. Either UN SQUADRON or PROGEAR.
3. RAIDEN II or RAIDEN D/X.
4. Either RAIDEN FIGHTES or RAIDEN FIGHTERS: OPERATION HELL DRIVE or VIPER: USA / NEW EDITION.
5. Either STRIKERS 1945, or STRIKERS 1945 II, or STRIKERS 1945+.

Last hurrah.

Died at the train boss...3rd car.
There's this enemy in stage 5 that when destroyed, instantly turns all enemy bullets to +1 cubes. For all intents and purposes, it makes the stage somewhat easier than st4, but also chaotic with gold suddenly appearing everywhere. Usually followed by more bullets. Fun stage.

All moved in to the new apartment, got all my gaming gear hooked up.... ready to do some shmuppin again. Its been far too long.

I think planning by a different dev per month worked really well, and we should do devs that we didn't yet do first.

Also, I don't want to repeat games that we already played this year.

Yeah, I agree that we don't need repeat games. There are plenty of good ones to play still.

I also enjoyed picking by dev, and seeing some new devs (NMK!!!) would be great. I would not mind seeing a few devs return with new games, like Raizing, but if we chose all new devs that would still be fun.
