Shmup of the Month Club 2013 (Giga Wing)

and...my wife reminded me, "I thought you bought some expensive multi-game arcade pcb thingy that had like every good shooting game on it? Isn't it on there?"

*facepalm*..."Umm, yeah. It is."

Got 3 runs in but have some projects planned w/the kids today, so won't get more runs in this weekend, but glad to know the month isn't over for me, no score improvement yet, but still pleased:

I really like this game. I haven't had much time to dive into it yet though. Hopefully I'll get around to spend some time with it before the month is over. I need to get a better mame setup. It sucks playing on a keyboard.

Do you have a controller or stick w/USB input? I can never get MAME to recognize my pads either, but you can use joytokey as a workaround.

I have a 360 stick, but since I'm using a mac I can't seem to get it to work. I should probably dig around for my usb gamepad. It would be better than the keyboard at least.

You summed it up exactly.

You guys are doing crazy good. This game is hard. These boss patterns seem like they should be easier, but i'm just doing horrid. Finally hit stage 4, but the 3rd boss took 2 lives. Not sure which medals I didn't get, thought I had them all, but said I missed 4, so not sure. My best run and should have been much better, no medal bonus on any stage. I always get 1st stage and sometimes 2nd stage :/

Got the medal bonus on stage 1 this run, but survival is just crazy beginning on stage 3 and stage 4 is no better. I think this is about as good as i'm going to do. The one thing I've really enjoyed about this game is that there really isn't one thing that gets me...I can die anywhere. Tough game. Not brutal, but tough. Surprised more people didn't post scores this month, there seemed to be a lot of excitement for it during the voting.
