I haven't played this in ages and i´m not very familiar with it, so please let me know if we need any "special" notes like auto-fire or anything else.

Everybody have a great month!

Never heard about that. 7$ is worth just for this game alone, trust me.

This game looks pretty rad, looking forward to putting some time in with it. Nice pick!

 

[Atro]

Sorry for the shacky pic.

2-3. Lost a powerup like a dumbass, then lost 7 lives on a row. End of story.

Autofire used. Normal settings, real pcb.

 

[Ralfakick]

I hate these slow bullets but cool game

Ralfakick (JON) 1-2 67990 Xbox no autofire



CRT I’m using won’t work with the Xbox third party component cables so I’m using av looks a little fugly but I’ll hook it up to an hdtv later with the ossc

 

[wataru330]

My Xbox copy of Tecmo jams, arrives Sept. 9th.

See y’all then!

I haven't used my PCB in a very long time, and this is what i got after 2 minutes of gameplay:

Sad, sad days...

 

[Ralfakick]

Really sorry to see that!

[Atro]

A fine tip to beat with ease the bosses is to get to them with a fully power ION beam.

It may be hard to use that weapon in certain parts on some levels, but it's worth the risk. Bosses melt like butter on a microwave. Any of them.

 

[daskrabs]

FYI, If you're using FBA or older MAME to emulate, the transparency effects like the purple shit in level 3 don't work. Makes it real frustrating. I'm trying the Xbox version tomorrow.

Also, the Xbox version is windowed badly. Not recommended. As of now, I'm emulating it on FBL. Seems OK. Only drag is no stick.

 

[ShootTheCore]

Here’s my first pass at it. I’ll put some more time into it later.

ShootTheCore | 1-3 | 139,510 | Autofire: Yes | MAME

Scores updated

 

[Atro]

Bumpin' this up before it gets forgotten.

No more players?

 

[daskrabs]

daskrabs | 1-3 | 154,280 | no auto | MAME

New score update.

Maybe it won't be easy to catch Atro, but you should take advantage of the weekend to define the rest of the places, everybody's scores are very close!

 

[ShootTheCore]

Finally had a good run where I made it to the fourth level.

ShootTheCore | 1-4 | 212,140 | Autofire: Yes | MAME

On the 4th stage you shall only switch your Ion beam to the Vertical beam on the up/down scrolling parts of the level. Do not be affraid to lose the Ion on that stage. You can get it back just right before the boss. Then the boss is cake.

This past weekend my friend Atro visited me with his PCB so that i could put some credits into the game.

Like a miracle (after we interchanged my motherboard with his rom board) my PCB came back to life
I have cleaned the contacts and checked the cables before, but something must be flimsy...

@Atro
I haven't touched my PCB in the meantime. Could you please send me my score again, i accidentally deleted the pictures

Here it is:

_rm_ - 262.180 - 1-4 - PCB - Autofire
