I don't have it. I might just burn it. :\

Nice score.

I'll have pretty much all day Sunday, and whatever time I can get in after work.
If there's only 5 stages, I'm hoping to clear this one myself.

All those years of espgaluda are paying off. Bullet speed is brutal in this game, and I need to score a little better, but I'm happy for my first night with this one. I also should learn how to enter my initials correctly.

The PS2 port has some really accessible and helpful practice modes. I am somewhat consistently no-hitting the first two stages after just a couple of hours of this today, though I sometimes mistime/misplace where I'd like to bomb the boss. Great pick!

This guy is a moron.

So far I am liking the game but the hit detection feels really weird. It seems to easy to dodge actually found that you move in a spiral pattern through an almost solid bullet cluster you can usually survive for a second or two before a random shot hits you . So basically as long as you don't panic and sit directly in the path of a shot you can usually brush past it.

dunpeal hooked me up with a working MAME setup. Skate has the files on his FTP I'm sure one of them give you the info and get you up and running.

Your plane/character in a lot of Cave games usually have a tiny hitbox, so a good bit of the time 3/4 of your person can be engulfed by a bullet and you'll be fine.

Thinking about turning the sound off when playing. The music feels to mellow for me and every time the girl talks or screams it gets on my nerves and completely breaks my focus .

GRRRR!

Only thing worse than dying on that last part before the 3rd boss...is dying with 5 bombs

I don't know why i'm struggling with it - shooting the head, dodge the first super quick pattern from the sides...second one gets me everytime, then it dies and boss fight. I hate getting in pattern of bombing a section each time, but that part is getting me every run - so frustrating.
