@oliverclaude: Nice. The scoring is pretty broken on Nexzr unfortunately isn’t it :/ It’s not too bad on defaults but have you tried ‘hardest’ and the ‘Japanese writing after it’ difficulty? It’s a real challenge! Arcade worthy hardness for sure.

Is it broken because of the extends? Where's the infinite loop then? Just curious... and yes, I tried the other difficulty settings. Hard seems doable, but "So Cruel", using hardcoregaming101's translation, is an exercise in masochism. Anyway, no ambition to go back to either of them. Default was a pain already.

Not so much the extends, but you could potentially milk the missles of the final boss and max-out the score if you had a spare few hours. It affects a fair few PCE exclusives unfortunately :/ Still love em’ though.

Thanks for the info! Few hours, haha... that reminds me of Master of Weapon on the MD. If you can dodge the bullets of the first boss long enough, an infinite amount of power-up carriers will come down. You still must shoot them down, occasionally hitting the boss in the process, but he'll last about an hour, if you do it sparsely. Meanwhile your score hits the spot.

Anyway, congrats on your one life clears. The Irem games I'd consider crown jewels among them. You don't see an Image Fight 1lc often. Kudos, indeed! Of course, the question remains how you achieved them. Strictly submitting yourself to the limitations of the original hardware, using only the appropriate auto-fire rates will always gain my highest admiration. It's something anything else just can't cope with.

Cheers. Yeah Image Fight is brutal on the PCE. The game has an autofire option built into the game at the start after you choose the difficulty class. All the other games were done without autofire aside from Ordyne, Rtype CD and Ninja Spirit. My stick is padhacked with a Corefgx2 pad so the autofire is nec/Hudson standard anyway, I guess :)

Just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of your Youtube vids, been watching them since last year, good stuff.

Nice bud I need to get the 1cc on it also, got it done on WOT a few months back. GOT is probably my favorite game on PCE.

For me as well, with some little tweaks it could easily be a hardcore Neo Geo shooter. The moment you enter the control core in the Mine level, with all its closing silver barriers you blast through, is pure Red Co. magic!

As of style and presentation work WoT beats it by a mile in my opinion :)

Nice, I’ve been meaning to tackle that one for a while. I think to get the most out of the Gate/Wings games is to play on the hardest difficulty. A lot of PCE exclusives get a bad rap of being too easy compared to a pure arcade shooter, but putting the difficulty up past default and they’re a different beast.

It's a fine opinion, but WoT is lacking that straight arcade gameplay, i.e. too much power is given to the player: a stage selection, a comfortable shop, a long candy bar full of energy points, an obliging hit detection, multiple hit shields, multiple bombs to carry... finally an environment that won't hurt you. Like you said: style & presentation, yet a bit over the substance in my personal opinion.

I cleared the first loop of W-Ring: The Double Rings

Not sure if I want to go for a 2-ALL. Despite the suicide bullets (run ended at 2-4), it didn't seem too crazy yet, but I kind of cleared the first loop by the skin of my teeth so I'm not sure how much I'm willing to improve.

Nice bro, I got this one also haven't spent much time on it yet. Btw which power-up did you use? What little I have played it I used the (blue) icon, lasers.

I used Blue for the majority of the game.

For stage 5 I use red, then pick up a hidden "?" that gives the red shot a function where it's options shoot
all over the screen which functions more or less as a homing shot.

Knocked out a GG SX clear today, pretty neat game and a little different than the MD port. Also got another GoT Hard clear, lost two lives though [emoji20]

KP, you're on a roll.

I was hoping to knock out raiden hu card this morning, but got stuck on the moon boss. I've got that one figured out now, two bombs end it. But then I got wrecked by the microchips and the boss of the next stage. I should have it done within the next couple of days though. Still need to work on Final Zone II :)

Almost forgot, after I beat GoT, did a 1cc of Winds of Thunder. Used the Blue armor thorough the whole game. Last boss made me use an elixir though.

Very impressive clears KP about to put a few runs on P-47. How difficult was it to 1cc?

Strangely enough it wasn't too bad. A lot easier than raiden lol.

I just casually messed around with it a few times about to get serious playing it just curious what I was up against. Yeah lol, I tell you that 1LC I did of Raiden was hell. I doubt I'll be playing it anytime soon the hardest 1LC I have done for sure.

I'm still having issues with the moon boss tanks. I have noticed something though, I can't tell if it's just me, but if I die where they are, when I respawn, the next time I fight them they don't have nearly the same amount of hit points.
