SOTM Dec 2024 - Axelay & R-Type III

[Atro]

Nice work @Atro !

Took me all afternoon. Too many cheap deaths.

I tried to go as far as you did on the long run but couldn't get passed Stage 4. Wrong choice of weapons screwed what could have been a better run.

Last time I touched this game was in 2019 and my recorded score (just checked my spreadsheet) was 752230. Not really sure If I really wanna try to beat that.

Anyway, this game absolutely R O C K S and should be ranked much higher among all-time classics. A true masterpiece in every way.

Man, the SFC box and cart label art is so much better than the SNES release. I really should own this one on cart. It's so great!

I’m still trying to crack 30mil on SS:VA caravan 2min mode.

I’m really terrible at horiz pew pew…R•Type 3 has broken my spirit.

Back on the Axelay train this weekend.

I stand by my vote against wyo rigging the vote for Axelay

 

[wyo]

Where are your scores @Tw3ek ?

PS. Scores update.

 

[opt2not]

Slight improvement, but I’m still not able to beat Stage 4. I can get to the boss, but that stage is tough with having to navigate narrow spaces and stage hazards. It also takes 25 mins to get to there.

opt2not - 199,980 - Stage 4 - Shadow - Mister

 

[opt2not]

Popped my stage 5 cherry.

opt2not - 215,850 - Stage 5 - Shadow - Mister
