An under-rated, seldom-mentioned pair is Truxton & Truxton II. Although Truxton II appears harder than Truxton at first, I chose II for the following reasons: awesome weapon power-ups, lots of enemies & big bosses, your bombs travel up the screen instead of just surrounding you in a small halo, 2-player option (not for this comp, but I hope to turn people on to this game...), & most importantly, you can hold down the fire-button to save your index finger from abuse. :) Good luck! ---------------------------------------------------- ROMSet: truxton2 (Mostly) DEFAULT SETTINGS (Rapid Fire: On, Difficulty: Medium, Bonus Life: 70k & 200k, Lives: 3, Invulnerability: Off) Let's flip Territory to USA, since (I assume) most of us are in the US. As far as I can tell, this switch affects only the boot-up copyright warning & the title screen language. ---------------------------------------------------- - One credit only! - No continues or adding credits! - No MAME cheats! - Last day is Thursday May 5 (11:59:59pm Pacific Daylight Time), 2011. - High score wins. - No savestates, savestate practices, etc. during the round. - MAME INP recordings are encouraged but optional. - A screenshot is required to enter a score (press F12 to save screenshot showing your final score) or take a photo of the game screen. - If you're a MARP competitor on this title, keep in mind this is just a friendly competition amongst forum members, so maybe you shouldn't enter. However, if you're a forum member and this is a game you're good at and nobody knows about it, this is your time to shine! - Even if you don't have a competitive score or if you don't *think* that you have a competitive score, please post it anyway to keep the thread fun & to give everybody a good sense of score ranges. -Please make sure your scores are from games that take place during the competition period (no posting your best score from last year, etc.). Best of luck! |

After getting past the first bit & ramping up my weapons, I found the game to be relatively easy & I had a rather long game. Score on my 1st try is 305,210. I'm always a sucker for the red shotgun/spread-type weapons on SHMUPs. This game definitely has a Raiden feel to it, though it's all in outer space. Enjoy! (I hope...) -Jason |
