Analog joysticks and shoulder buttons keep me from playing a lot of my favorite console games on my arcade cabs... |

If the games too easy , why not take advantage of starting on Tango or Outer Regions section first? Or play the windows port where the ship moves slower than the DOS version. You could also challenge yourself by buying less power ups. Im thinking you never played the game to the end, money isnt that easy to come by unless you play the same level over and over or the the "abort mission, sell power up" glitch. Most people skip the medium weapons and struggle through with weaker guns to get the best weapons. |

And for those who weren't savvy enough to do the abort & sell (especially on the 3rd wave I believe with the Ground Missiles) you could just press "backspace" which automatically gave you the expensive wave gun. ;) I remember there was an add-on for the game where if you pressed the 1st and 3rd button in the cockpit prior to starting the wave it'd make a cool "mechanical" noise and then there'd be crazy dinosaurs and monkeys and cows and stuff in the game... pure classic! PS: After re-reading this post, the 2nd paragraph really makes me sound like a crazy freak haha... but its true, see --> http://www.rinkworks.com/apogee/s/6.3.2.shtml |

I beat the entire thing, without any cheats or glitches, about 2 years ago with a friend who had some nostalgia. I don't think a game should get a pass due to its release date. I still play Ms. Pac-Man because its still fun today, not because it was just good for its time. In any case, there were already several outstanding shmups released before 1994. |
