Daily Check: What shooters are you guys playing ATM?

Nexzr on the RomRom. Challenging in a quirky way: the mid-bosses are tougher than the end-ones. Suicide bullets are present from scratch. Minimalism rules, as there's a magic attachment to the number "1"... only one button in use, only one-hit shields available and only one sub-weapon that's really worth it (side missiles). The coolest thing so far is the way your ship goes down. It happens in such a tacit way, almost mute, you'll end up unaware of being dead, still convulsively twitching on your d-pad. A wistful swan song to all Soldiers...

Salamander on MSX. Hard as fucking nails. Ow and Ikaruga.

So after like a couple of days, my Storm Blade took a dump, had to find another mobo for it, came in today and got the game back up running. First credit was a clear. Really need to knock out a 2-all on this game.

Grinding out Futari. Everything is smooth until I hit stage 3. The swarms and the pill bugs get me every time.

I played a little bit of Image Fight on my new SSDS3. Cool game. As would probably me expected since it's an Irem release, the game reminds me of a vertical version of R-Type.

i've never reached that far or gave much attention to blazing star since the early 00's. this is all new to me.

I’ve been playing Prehistoric Isle 2 on the Neo and Dariusburst CS on PS4. Caladrius Blaze showed up earlier this week but I haven’t had a chance to try it yet.

Yeah, it’s pretty weird isn’t it... I still find it quite freaky. Not that I actually make it to the last boss on a regular basis.

Nah, that's ok. I didn't know about ASO II's last boss and his big baby head change either. Scared the shit out of me, when it finally happened on a playthrough.

Thinking about picking up Resogun on the Vita. Hear it suffers from frame rate issues.
For any of you that played it, does it make it non playable? Was there ever a physical copy made of this?

i know there was a specific subject for area 88 and carrier airwing, didn't bookmark it sadly, and i'm getting an admin warning in regards to using search function in or out of site. :spock:

in any event, i'll add the two game screencaps of the above.
used gamez-fan's final burn alpha emulator for xbox to snapshot.

one coined.
oh, not sure what the score is with attachments here.
pictures added to my account no sweat, just the place inline buttons and done at the lower of the upload gui do nothing my end.
previewed the post all the same, and appears to still show my side regardless of lack of tags specifying the image location, wanted to wrap em in collapse tags.
can't if i see nothing in text to wrap, sorry guys.

[edit]
next up is dimahoo.

Best shooter that only the most dedicated players bother with.

The item system is completely baffling at first, but the games grows on you with time no doubt.

Chem, we missed seeing your score during the Dimahoo SOTM back in Sept

Fuckwit1200 · Mar 28, 2018

one coined dimahoo.
caveat is i set difficulty to 03/08, couldn't do it on a single coin otherwise.
next is armed (sadist fucker) police batrider, that has a sweet soundtrack to boot.

Kid Panda · Mar 29, 2018

Just knocked out a no miss on Esplgaluda, pretty happy with it.

Chempop · Mar 29, 2018

Bravo Panda!

I got to stage 5 in Tatsujin-ou, :vik:

that's where the game starts feeling a little BS :loco:

Great game. Received Carrier Air Wing the other day so I'll jump on that soon.

Slowly working through Jikkyo Oshaberi Parodius for the Super Famicom. Great looking game.

Try the Saturn version, too. It's a perfect remake!

Fuckwit1200 · Apr 5, 2018

thanks a lot @ pretty amy, bookmarked.

right, it's not happening, and not got the patience to keep practicing.
got tuned up on batrider and gunnail. (massive appreciation to J-P for mentioning gunnail in chat.)
set batrider to four lives for the full stack of characters, no other settings altered.
playing thundercross 1 and 2 next.

why. do you use strange settings
on arcade shooting games and
not play on defaults?

Cause it's easier to cheat your way to victory instead of learning the game proper.
