Happy shooting!

You can do Tate in the ps1 version I believe .

So I can only submit a score if I play it in tate mode?

What kind of heathen plays a PS1 port of an ST-V game?

Eurotrash heathen, I might even have the Saturn port

I have it on saturn, I just don't want to rotate my TV

 

[Hattori Hanzo]

PC monitor that can be rotated. It's great for shmups!

Played a few credits last night, barely got over 2.5M. I forget…isn’t there some trick to scoring like minimizing shooting and avoiding the Leds or something?
Hoping to continue the trend of improving each time we do this game, like to see >4.5M

 

[Atro]

I do not know a single scoring trick im this game besides shooting everything.

 

[roker]

Finally got around to rotating my vewlix. Didn’t feel like playing it on my PVMs.

I’ll try to crush some scores tonight.

The only thing I remember is to try not to get more than three bombs. For some reason, the rank is screwy and goes crazy if you get more than three and it won’t go back down even if you try to use it.

Also, don’t pick up any P or S power ups if you’re already maxed out.

 

[Neodogg]

Hmm, I remember your bonus jumps with the bombs at then end of stage points.

We shall see…

 

[KaedesDisciple]

Oh shit I didn’t even realize the arcade version was on my MiSTer already. Gave it a run last night seems pretty fun, will put some more time into it

STV is supported on mister or are you playing the Saturn on your mister? (Too lazy to look it up).

I believe STV is on mister, I see it but get an error that the rom is not there…

 

[Neodogg]

Still not clicking fully…

STV is indeed on the MiSTer, update script pulled the romset for me, and the RT4K auto-rotates it so I don't break my neck playing it

Well shit. I need to run the update tonight. I’ve played both on real hardware. I don’t think there’s a difference but it would be nice to play on the Astro.
