it's been a lazy day off, and hori shmups were on the menu,

while the wife is working on her score runs for Blazing Star, I've been killing time in between with Progear, Deathsmiles, Gate of Thunder and Trouble Shooter:shredder:

Actually on a hori kick myself now that my 2nd saturn is setup. Digging into Gradius Deluxe Pack and possibly give parodius deluxe another whirl after I clear gradius 2 which is kicking my butt.

Finally got Dodonpachi Saidaioujou for 360. Been playing it a couple of days now and so far I´m lovin it! Stage 3 midboss is currently testing my nerves though.

That battle ship gave me trouble at first too. Now I pop a lvl 10 hyper and make mincemeat out of it.

I am slowly improving my Garegga score, but still shy of a letter score.

Prehistoric Isle in 1930

Great game, can't say enough good things about it, it's got all the right things.

Does anyone know how the scoring works? Seems like the more I wait to pick up a $ while being next to it grants me 1000, not sure if this is accurate though, I could be just getting lucky, help?

I thought it would be the same, but I would have to say the PCB version is actually easier. There are more spots of slowdown and when it does happen the screen actually freezes. Other than the slight difficulty change, the other benefit I've seen is using a seimitsu stick in my cab versus using a wireless Tekken stick. Unless you are a diehard DDP fan, the 360 version has more to offer than the arcade. Do I like it? Without a doubt.
