Really cool new "Arcade Style" Game
Bloinkxp:
Hey All,
I found this on...slashdot maybe...not sure... At any rate this is old school and a lot of fun. The controls are mappable in game and it's...hard/fun.

Have fun!

Nice find... it's about an 82 meg download. Mainly because of the high quality mp3 soundtrack. 66 mb worth!
It's just like Gradius but on Steroids. Has a nice storyline too. A keeper! :applaud:
The only thing is that it won't assign ALL keys on the keyboard. My buttons are set to / and \ and those don't register. I have to play with it more to find a workaround, but still a great game.

Thats great but tough, and I hate games that make you start back at the beginning of the level when you die :angry:
Very much like a game I have called "lifeforce"
I'll give a good play though thanks! :applaud:

Well, it looks like it'd be a good one, but it doesn't seem to want to work on Win7 64. Tried all the various compat settings and it crashes on them all.
I guess I'll have to wait till I get my cab back up (it's XP 32)

What problem are you having using Win 7 x64? I just downloaded it and launched it without setting any compat settings and it's working fine. Tested on my cab Win 7 x64 as well with no issues. Pretty cool little game. Very Gradius/Life Force'ish. Very cab worthy game though.
This is from the readme:
KNOWN ISSUES
- Some graphic cards can cause a blurry
effect on the whole screen. If you
can't solve it with the screen mode
options ingame, try with your graphics
card scaling configuration.
Also, some Windows configurations like
windows aero can cause this effect, you
can also try to change it to basic or
standard Windows looking.
- Windowsblinds can cause a startup crush
- Plugging a gamepad on the fly can
cause a slow down for a few seconds.
