HSC Season 1: Week 6 : Battle Garegga

TechnoFreek

Do I get to nominate or pick a game as I've submitted a high score?

How does that work?

o1s1n

Yeah you do, just throw up a game title here

I nominate Battle Garegga (US edition)

No, I kid, I kid

I'll go with Mercs this week.

Yep! Please do! Your gaming tastes aren't too far off my own. More chance of me playing something I like

Class! I've never played for a high score on that. Be interesting with the multiple path choices.

To be fair, some games make it bloody tough to get on the score table.

That's a great first tome score!

I better have my stick and Saturn ready for zero hour just in case!

brianon

If I do post a decent score I'll do like an ebay bid and post at 10 seconds to midnight

o1s1n

Hahaha, score sniping! That's hilarious. Maybe I should have a backup ready to submit in the last 10 seconds

brianon

When I said 645k was my first go, I meant my first go in a while. I've played this before on Saturn and Mame.

Better score there now. Stage 4. I think I remember the way the medal scoring works now. But maybe not.





And I pick Twin Cobra for my game pick.

brianon

1248000

966750

fairly happy with that,havent beaten the 3rd boss yet tho.
Really enjoyed this one!

Im putting forward
Altered Beast!

TechnoFreek

That seems a good score urban given its still on the third level.

I find that my first play on each session is always my best. Any subsequent score from the same session is worse!

o1s1n

It's on!

1402560

Almost had a heart attack trying to get this score.

sengoku

I can't improve on my score, I rage quit the game too many times and still came back for more.

I turned the laptop on its side to get a full vertical screen view and used a USB Playstation adapter. I could see the oncoming bullets a lot better but the PS joypad is not made for shmups. In fact I played even worse and did a Super Rage Quit, I threw the joypad against the wall.

TechnoFreek

What level you getting to oisin?

brianon

Had a few more goes but couldn't improve. Great game, if a little frustrating.

Only finally managed to get to level 4 on that last 140000 run! All the others I died on the level three boss.

On that last run I should have gotten higher - was wiped out by a very easily dodged bullet.

Really makes me want to try harder to get the pcb, absolutely love the game.

Unfortunately That one will the small bullets goes for about 400 I think. The westernized version is cheaper. I wonder could you get that one and just pop in some Jap chips? Must look into it.

for the sake of 400 yo yos I'd stick to mame!

brianon

Well played 01s1n. Nice score. Raging I didn't get more time with this one. Great game.
