Pfffft,you're playing the INFERIOR PORT...

Better hike up that difficulty some,padna :D

BIG-

I've played in JP mode, level 4 as well, and there isn't really a
big difference. I guess there are more planes
on the screen at times, but I can still get to stage 4 anyway.

Anyone into Blazing Star?

I'm currently trying to get through stage 6 alive and while the level itself is no problem the boss is extremly hard. :crying:

I love Blazing Star, it's my favorite horizontal shooter ever with Progear at a close second.

My best run was to stage 5 with about 12.5 million points. It's one of my better shooter accomplishments ever.

It's really a great shooter, there just doesn't seem to be a lot of people playing it anymore.

My highscore is about 16,8 millions stg 6, got game over at the very last part of the boss. I've figured out most of the strategy but can't pull it off on 1 life yet.
If you need any hints just ask, I'll be glad to help out.

Does anyone know how well Bleemcast works with Strikers 1945 II?

There used to be a list, but I can't find it. I figured it'd tide me over till I get a JPN PS2

True, 19XX does rock, much better than 1944 IMO. Not sure if I like it better than Strikers though but it is damn good.

I've just set up my first ever website less than 24 hours ago, and would like some of your opinions and suggestions. Here-

http://www.freewebs.com/ord1000/

It's geared more towards the manic style of shooter.
In truth there is nothing much there at the moment, but i'll hopefully get some reviews written up, and put up some vids within the week. If any of you folks fancy writing some reviews of your own and donating them to the site, feel free.
The title may be it bit crap but whay the hey.
I'm kind of proud of it, because i know nothing about web design etc, but i want to make it better. A lot better, so any feedback from you folks would be deeply appreaciated. A big time Cave fan crying for help!!!

So what kind of shmups do you all prefer:

•Military Type a la Strikers, 14xx series, Sonic Wings etc

•Spaceship Alien Type ala Pulstar, Blazing Star, Gradius, Last Resort, and R-Type

•Gimmicky a la Gunbird, ESPGaluda, Shikigami series


???

hmm, good question

what category does Progear fall into? :kekeke:

that's the only shmup i've been playing lately, practice, practice, and some more practice..

anyways.

i don't really have a preference i guess, it's just whatever plays nice, or that cave produces, hahaha

I prefer space(ship) type shooters. Blazing Star, Last Resort, Radiant Silvergun, Soukyugurentai, Nebulasray, Raystorm etc etc.

Been facinated with space since I was a kid (space LEGO anyone :)) so that probably have something to do with it. I'd put military style second and gimmicky/comical last.

How about yourself xtoo_short20x?

Gotta be space ships vs aliens here, Final Soldier stylee.,

World War style has favour with me, but often they can lack pace (Ghost Pilots..........doesnt mean its a bad game tho.)

damn you!

I'd say spaceship, followed closely by gimmicky types


This reminds me, Kim de John is a god in Castle Shikigami II.

I can one credit, no life lost until stage 3.1

I'm working on it though, and I'm surprised how good this game is.
stage 311 in Shikigami no Shiro II seems damn near impossible to do without losing a life.

I like all three. But I guess I kinda like the militay type better, I just love tanks,
cool real life planes, all style planes etcc...

I think Pro-Gear will fall in the category of war and military no?
It's like a 'Fantasy War' from the age of steel?

I think it falls in the "damn this game is so good it should be in it's own category"

of the pcb), but anyways, great game.

I really enjoy the steam-punk games like Battle Garegga but space ships get my preference.

19XX is one of my favorite "old-school" shooter. I don't know how you can hate him. Simply splendid.

Otherwise I'm currently into R-Type Final,Dangun Feveron, Guwange, Gradius V, Armed Police Batrider, Dragon Blaze, Prehistoric Isle 2 and Gigawing and here's my opinion:

R-Type Final: My favorite shooter, that means all.

Dangun Feveron: Excellent music but so quick enemy shots! Must be a cyborg to survive beyonf the 2 first levels in 1 continu. I'm loving it though.

Guwange: My favorite of the moment. Great medieval style and pure manic essence. Screen gets 95% covered with shots but they're slow so it's even more fun to see your character escape a thousand shots wave at last. Very excellent.

Gradius V: Fun but too long. I'm only playing it for some days and haven't passed the section 1-4 and I already find too long. Weapon system is not my cup of tee. Cool but just for spare time.

Armed Police Batrider:Fun above all. Great.

Dragon Blaze: Another excellent Psikyo game here. Great ambiance but enemy shots are coming so fast... Anyway, it's very interesting.

Prehistoric Isle 2: Ha ha, this is easily the shittiest game in the list. Awful graphics and kitsch theme simply gun down this game. Horrid.

Gigawing: Another heartbeat here. I love the reflect force shiled. Great music and graphics. I love it.


Oh, and for those you haven't tested Radio Zonde, give it a try, would be interesting. ;)

I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. I actually like the feel
of the game, is actually something different, as it doesn't have anything tod
with planes. The rescuing of people makes an interesting twist in scoring.
I like it, not as good as most shooters, but enjoyable.

MAME 0.93 was released today, with fully decrypted graphics for Viper Phase 1, Raiden Fighters, Raiden Fighters 2, and Raiden Fighters Jet (and Battle Balls, but that's not a shooter). The sound emulation is pretty shitty, but they look and play great. Have fun, my fellow rom whores :D
