Ajax - 737,000 - Stage 3 boss (wtf?) - PC Engine (Ever Drive, if you need to know 😭)

I do have a picture, but my daughter ran off with my phone. I'll post it when I have access to it again.

Just wanted to say that as a father with a toddler, and another shortly on the way - having a Caravan Shooter this month is very very awesome, as my time is very limited, and dwindling by the day. Thankful for my original childhood Turbo Express too. I can tuck my kid in, lay down next to them, put in some headphones and blast away. Sure the kid wakes up when I start yelling and swearing, but it's a small price to pay for having some fun with you crazy lot.

Hopefully the Caravan mode is popular this month, as I will be hosting in November - which is when my next kid is scheduled to arrive - I may have to choose a Caravan option then too.

It’s a reproduction Mini Cute. Edit: Maybe I’ll take some pics of the setup. It’s pretty nice for PCE shooting games, which I hadn’t even thought of before.

Please share pics! Is this unit from the recent fan build that was super high quality? Would love to see the setup!

Awesome! I've been playing a fair amount of this game over the last few weeks. Never have played it before last month and it's fucking rad. I'll post some scores tomorrow.

Played another credit last night, but was way too tired to focus, and didn’t do any better than my previous score.

Instead, here are some pics of my setup. We’re finishing our basement right now, and there’s no better spot for it, so the Mini Cute is literally the first thing you see when you open our front door. 😅

I don’t have a proper monitor for this one on hand, so until I get one, I’m using this LCD monitor. I fabricated some supports so that it works without modifying the monitor frame.
