664380 Don't think I am going to do much better than that. Think the single laser shot is the best weapon, as what I do is to creep up the screen and than waggle the joystick up the screen and hopefully kill everything in it's path. Seems to work well - only the 3rd boss caused me untold problems .. those darn laser cutters ... Has anyone else had the spaceship (which looks like opa-opa from FZ) come accross the screen ???? ... if you shoot it when it gets to the end of the screen you get tons of points ... I had it twice when I got this score but becuase the shooting is pretty frenetic and "random" I always shot it when it just appeared so I only got 5,000 or 10,000 points ...Like a lot of people, I also think the slowdown helped a lot !!! ... GREAT game though, I will carry on playing this way after the week has finished. |

529790 Keep dying at the same bit, all because I keep rushing it and making mistakes. Slowdown makes me never want to go back though. |

I've not had a shot yet. I shafted my MAME at the end of last week and still not found a workaround. I'm going to give it a good crack just now though. |

Success! Although it's a bit of an arse: I have to run an old version off an external hard drive. But nevertheless, first score on the board: 80050 |

Not very often there is a game I actually enjoy! I have to admit though - after my first few attempts I thought this was shit! But I kept on trying and found that there is actually a good game inside ![]() 256470 C'mon Ant - new goal for you to aim at

544130 With full power ups would've gone further. I now know what was killing me, there's some sort of invisible man who needs killing on each 'boat' that is just taking the piss, there's no way to know unless it's allready killed you. |

ive only done him once , the way to do it is go on single shot and as he opens up go in from underneath stay underneath letting loose and then and then exit down and right after a few seconds , did this 3 times with 1 power up and cleared him then you get the snakes

732430 I give up trying to get past the rotating boss! If I could get there on full energy I would have a chance, but I get getting killed in stupid places. This time I ran out of energy. RSI is setting in now, so time to quit

The rotating boss ive only beaten twice, 2nd time was about 10 mins ago lol, it takes split second timing, ive almost put the joypad through the wall several times out of frustration trying to beat this bastard! Its all about avoiding the main fire and missiles, then when he rotates dive in at the right moment and fire away, which is where the split second timing comes in.... Suffice to say, its fecking hard and you will no doubt fail much more thatn you will succeed...like me lol :angry: |

I must be the only one who was completely unimpressed by this game. PES6 has easily been my weapon of choice this week. I should get at least 100 points for winning the European Championship on Top Player! |

I have to admit defeat this time MPM, you win this week. Well done :ph43r: I'm blaming two nights on the razz for dulling my reactions today, I can't even get near my previous best as I did give it a serious attempt at catching you up this morning. |
