SotM March 2023: Blast Wind

[Neodogg]

scores updated.

One thing is for sure... editing this table is a PITA. No more edits until the last moment. Too much hassle

why are you using a table?
I've never used one before for this...

 

[Ajax]

To clarify - you won't be updating scores until the end of the month?

 

[Atro]

I will, of course. but it'll take me longer.

Or I just can kill the table and do it the old-school way

[Tarma]

Been busy this week, but hoping to sink some time into this over the weekend.

 

[Tarma]

Best effort so far this weekend - OG Saturn - 2490250 - 6-1

 

[Tarma]

If I can stop making stupid over-correction mistakes I reckon I can make it to the final boss... where I'll get my ass kicked.

Still, really enjoyed getting to know Blast Wind better over the last few weeks, don't think I've ever played it so much!!

 

[Tarma]

Just did another run - OG Saturn - 2547310 - 6-1

 

[LoneSage]

Finally got out my "modded" Saturn and fixed the Phantom chip someone installed upside-down and with the 5v not properly soldered. Threw this game in to test it out, forgot how weird and janky but fun it is. I'll try and throw up a couple scores.

Didn't I buy BW from you in 2005?

Didn't I buy BW from you in 2005?

And when did you mom sell it?

Maybe but I must have gotten another copy because my Technosoft titles were some of the last games I sold when I purged the remainder my retro gaming shit a few years ago.

I'll try and get a couple more runs in on the game this week, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I still don't think it's a "good" game or even finished but it's a good bit of janky fun.

 

[Atro]

Sorry for the updates delay folks.

I've got a damn fever and been mostly recovering.

EDIT: Scoreboard updated.

@Tarma Stop kicking ass! ^^

 

[Atro]

5 more days guys!

 

[Atro]

Your turn Tarma!

 

[Tarma]

Fucker.

 

[Tarma]

Bollocks. If RE4 hadn't come out last week I'd have had some more time to sink into this.... well done Atro, I'm not going to top that score in what little time remains.

Gonna keep practicing though - I've discovered Blast Wind has a unique charm, and I've really enjoyed trying to learn it

Level 4 is the key. You can grab two extra lives. That's what I was left with when I spammed bombs at the last boss. But you still have a few hours! ^_^'

 

[Ajax]

Oh sheeeit. I really did mean to play this, but got busy stacking other STGs and just didn't. Oooooops

Mate, I'm like 8 hours behind you - so it'll be a while before I can even think of sitting infront of my Saturn!

I think you'll find you can get three extra lives out of Level 4 if you're really really sharp.

 

[Ajax]

Ok, I played, relax.

Ajax - 1,347,000 - Emulation - 5-2

 

[Ajax]

Ahhhh, fuck. Maybe I’ll run it back later tonight.

Ajax - 2,299,910 - Emulation - Last boss
