This month's shmup of the month is Fire Shark!

[Rules]

Arcade: 3 lives, extends at 70K and every 200K, and medium difficulty.

Mega Drive/Genesis: 3 lives, normal difficulty.

Hi-Score format: Player - Score - Stage - Autofire(On/Off) - Platform

The Japanese and American versions of the game, for both Arcade and Mega Drive, are different enough in difficulty. So we'll have separate scoreboards for each. Also for the arcade version of Same!Same!Same! we'll be using the "1p" version.

Let's see some scores!

A plane collided into me from behind on Stage 6 or else it would've been a much better run. I'll have to play a bit more when I'm not so sleep deprived.

Got the Genesis version put on the NGX, this is a game I've never played before, but I'm always up for non-bullet hell shooters. So be prepared to see some terrible scores.

Gave it another try today while sober :D

wyo - 1137900 - stage 10 - autofire on - Genesis

Semi-interesting fact: This was the game I got with my first Mega Drive in 1990 and I played the shit out of it :cool:

Pro-tips:
1. Get laser
2. Power up laser
3. Avoid losing laser
4. Don't die

I agree. Flame thrower fully powered and auto fire will probably be the easiest way to get through the game. Ultra powerful and has a decent range when fully powered up.

Flamethrower, laser, whatever! :lolz:

It autofires even without autofire.

How many damn levels on this thing anyway? I forgot.

Also, what's the difference between the 2 versions, other than the pilot's facial hair?

According to a shumps thread I read the other day, the Japanese version is supposedly harder. I haven't actually personally tried it to compare the two though.

How did you get to stage 15 with such a low score? Not trying to call it out, just genuinely curious.
