I’d been meaning to sell this and forgot about it. I booted it up last night and man game is rough. I’ve forgotten most, if not all of my strategies. It’s a ball buster of a game for sure.

Forgot you had it and you smashed it on an Egret III. I dunno know why, but I love these "missing link" flat CRT cabs. Shout out to Sammy Atomiswave cabs too.
I think Truxton 1 is better. Not by much though. They both smack the shit out of you and let you know you suck at games. I do feel Truxton 1 is more thought out while part 2 is the "fuck yo couch" edition of the game.

nice run there @Tarma & @radiantsvgun
I echo roker's thoughts on the run on the mini astro! and if you both are playing the JP region even more props!
leader board is updated and doubt it changes...prove me wrong @roker

I find it's not that bad if you use the actual device as your controller... If I use the pad, i don't think I'd make it past the first stage.Bro, you should be number 1 considering you did it on the lagfest Astro City Mini-V.

Thank you! It used to be @300wins cabinet.
The issues for me with T2 are the longevity and the punishment on bosses. It feels like you don’t get any break since the stages transition, and the bosses punish you for breaking parts on them.
There’s also rank, you need to die at certain spots to change boss patterns. There’s a lot of super small details and shit you have to learn to do a 1cc, and I don’t have the will to do that again.
