So, what's the deal with Mars Matrix and GigaWing?
« on: March 05, 2009, 08:43:09 pm »
Why do the scores go so high?? I mean, I'm no slouch when it comes to vertical shooters, but DAMN! High scores in the billions!

Was this intentional or is it some MAME glitch?

Nope thats how it is.  I did not know Mars Matix worked on Mame I thought I tried it and it was messed up bad.

GigaWing works, but I have Mars Matix & GigaWing2 on Dreamcast.  The 2nd one is really good and I have had my score so big that I do not know the actual term for the number anymore lol.

Thanks  ;D

It's crazy .. when I brag to my wife about my newest high score, she asks "Oh, cool .. what's your new score?" ..

I have to tell her "oh, about 7" across the screen"  :laugh2:

Works fine. 100%

mame version .110 (Custom compiled version, but I believe it ran just fine on the regular .110 version as well)

im on .129 wonder if they broke it in a newer release.

Edit nvm it works... I must have had it confused with a similar game.  I like the GigaWing games much better though, and the reflect barrier is easier for me to use.

shikigami 2 & 3 are on my to get list.  I just found out about them the other day.

Ikaruga I just have not gotten into yet, I guess because I suck at it :P

I really like GigaWing2 its just so short, I got owned within seconds first few times playing, so much on screen its hard to tell what is a bullet and what is background.  After about 15 min though I was able to get to the last 2 stages with very few or no deaths, but the last boss.. OMG I have to use like 15 lives.  I do not use bombs though, that feels like cheating to me.
