So which platform is the preferred version? least slow down, etc.

EDIT: Sorry, I mean which console version

I believe the Saturn is the better version. All have slowdown.

 

[Jeneki]

I found out something new today, the stage order is different in the Japanese version. Is anyone playing that version? If not I'll stick to the rest of world version.


Jeneki - 497,700 - Stage 4 - Mame (world)

Kind of funny that the stage is "4st".

 

[Kid Panda]

Kidpanda - 167,100 - 2st - Mame(World)?

 

[Jeneki]

Something I've noticed after several plays, bosses and the large battleship mid-bosses will occasionally have around double health for the entire game. It's not a game breaker deal normally, except for the battleship in the docks area which just rams you if you can't cause damage fast enough. Searching the net I don't see any information on rank in this game. Anyone know what causes it? I only see it after playing multiple credits, and resetting fixes it.

Just Panda and I playing this month?

This one is a bit harder than Outzone, but still seems doable. I've got most of the puzzle parts figured out, just need to get better consistency and put it all together now.


Jeneki - 1,010,500 - 6st - Mame (world)

This game's end boss is a mega-penis that charges up the rear.

I just got my gameroom cleaned up from a million projects going on at once. I am grabbing a new addition tomorrow and then planning to give In the Hunt some play time.

looks cool - I'll try to find my safety copy for the Saturn in this month

 

[Jeneki]

Many of the designers who worked on this game ultimately went on to make Metal Slug, right?

Jeneki, congrats on clearing this.

Many of the designers who worked on this game ultimately went on to make Metal Slug, right?

You can name the anime that the metal slug tanks are allegedly lifted from, yet you are just now taking notice of when an Irem game oozes with nazca style? Have you never made such a connection before? Have you ever researched Metal Slug's origins?
