From what I recall, you can adjust the difficulty to 5 (arcade) on the Saturn/PS1 version and it should be the same as the STV. Or keep separate leaderboards if you prefer.

Only got about 20mins in today. Seems like I do the best with the green ship. Only got around 650k on 1-2.

Oh shit! I love it when these threads feature something I can play without emulation. Now I just need to not suck at it...

Here's my score:

2,202,450 con 1-2 / Saturn

Used mainly lock-on for everything (including boss) for the multiplier.

Jeneki - 6,988,090 - stage 5 - STV

This game doesn't loop? Strange it always shows the stage as 1-something.

Jeeeesus, I don’t remember the stage 3 boss being so hard. Kickin my ass

Yeah, similarly to the Stage 6 boss in Hyper Duel or the Stage 4 boss in Viewpoint, he's possibly the hardest boss in the game, whom you don't encounter in the final stage.

I’m still getting hung up on stage 3 boss, I’ll snap score pics later but my top is upper 5 mill. If I could get through to stage 4 there’s so many lock-ons in that stage I imagine it’s a good score level.

Edit: if it helps, a few things it took me a minute to remember. Button C switches your wireform for lock-ons. The 1st and 2nd ship benefit greatly from it. The swordfish’s second wireform has to be the strongest in the game. It’ll one shot almost all popcorn type enemies and it chews through bosses pretty fast. Less lockons than the other ships but the strength more than makes up for it.

Also, as nice as the half mil bonus is for getting 100% it’s not worth it. Instant rank jump.

Best I could do for now on the Saturn version at difficulty level 4. Didn't know the Saturn version's default difficulty was 1 lower than the ST-V version so I'll bump it up to 5 on the next attempt.

I know, I suck. First day of playing in years. Just finished working on this Domy so popped in the STV! That level 4 boss is a bitch sometimes!

come on nut jobs, like 15 people voted and we only have 8 scores!

chosen-one, I'm assuming your score is via ST-V?

Yup, when I get back home Sun I’ll get some more runs in. I know my top scores over 6 mill now

I booted it in US mode on accident today, I assume it’s easier? If not, taking a week away was great for me.

Don’t count this score (9 mill +) unless someone can confirm differences.

Late to the party and been about a year since I've played this. I will try to get in a score today or tomorrow. Isn't this like the 3rd time this has been a sotm? Doesn't bother me though since it is such a good game.
