    Usual rules apply . Never really played this ...so many ships to select it was to much for me !

    Lets see how we go, engines ready

    Imagine it had some some soothing orchestral score instead

    Another 2 credits ..part of scoring system clicked .seems some medals follow ya around seem to change different colours if ya leave them and don't collect them and when ya do they are worth loads . That's what I think anyway:) ..or maybe you have to keep shooting them ..

    I refuse to Google information about anything this day and age unless I'm buying something,it would cost me money if I didnt, it's a life or death matter or I'm at my wits end and just can't work something out .

    That ship is an absolute flyer ...speed it nips around . Not for past 2nd level yet and just playing for survival and fun at the moment . It's a hectic oul game ..but fair

    Gave this a quick go. Probably play more tomorrow. Saw it had the Raiden 2 ship. It has the toothpaste laser but it's rubbish for this game. I'll have to pick a different ship.

    Yeah it's like a pee shooter .

    Had another go yesterday .. got to third level .the name of the game is to leave those medals follow you around with ourtpicking them up for as long as possible .. they get bigger and bigger and change colour for whopper points .

    Seems to be all manner of other bonuses also ..probably hidden stuff knowing the series . Had loads of fairy's around me at one stage and loads of big medals ...don't know what i did

    The two really fast ships are the best I think . One has a row of lasers that cancels bullets , the other has no option when you hole down fire to power up but it's serious fire power and speed-ixion it's called

    Also don't know why I jump from level 5 to 10.multiple routes maybe . As first time I reached level 3

    Ah, RFJ - the one still missing from the collection all these years. 😁

    So what are the “usual rules” for these challenges btw?
    Toothpaste weapon was always rubbish - wide spread red weapon is best for survivability anyway.

    One credit, default dip switches. Highest score picks the game at the end of the fortnight.

    well this one’s over …poor show all together.

    Was I only one that posted a score ? I presume everyone was busy dealing with obstacles of stupid real life like myself

    Anyway next round . A day late . I think ive had the pleasure of picking the last four games or so.

    So @Retr0gamer ill leave this one to you ya little minx



  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 53,477 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Yep I had a lot on with wedding plans and finding out I'm being let go. Really wanted to give this more of a try.

    I'll think of something and throw it up
