What shmup are you playing now?

Stage 3 is an animal...at first. Really, every stage after stage 1 requires a ton of playthroughs until they begin to feel natural. I remember thinking stage 2 was insane and now it feels like a farm with super easy chaining.

Stage 4 is my current wall on that game - i've gotten to the boss a few times out of probably 40-50 runs to stage 4.

Stage 2 really wasn't that bad (boss included). But I've given up on Stage 3 for now. I'll give it another shot in six months or so.

Not looking forward to 4 if I ever make it there.

Mecha-8.

This was an MSX homebrew, later ported to the ColecoVision, and now available on the latest ColecoVision Flashback. Seriously impressive.

Hi guys, been a while! I’ve been going steady with batrider for the last 6 months.
Some of my accomplishments with the game:

+8million in normal course team edit: car-pet(s), maria(c), baron(c)

1CC advance course with solo players: shorty(b), shorty(c), strawman(a), t-tag(c)

1CC advance course with teams: police team, random team

+B.7million in advance course with car-pet(s)

I plan to clear advance with at least 5 more solo players, criminal team, psychic team, and then go for a +C score with car-pet or custom team.

Chempop> Nice going! I've only cleared Normal Course before (I think my best score is around 4 and a half million). Did you unlock many of the secret bosses for that run?

Jamestown + comes to PS4 this month - looks really good. Apparently there is expanded content from the '11 PC version also. Should be around $11 for PS+ members. Anyone have opinions on the game?

We played it at our tournament here last year, it's got plenty to keep you engaged. Worth a try.
