Hi Score Comp #31: Twin Cobra *With GGG Premium Spinner Knob as prize*
Ummon:
Yeah, I'm done on this game. You just can't die or you're ---smurfing--- hosed.
ArcadeNerd:
Yeah, I find it actually takes 2 crazy games to get a good score. First you have to get as far as youo can on your first life. Then.....you have to play like a maniac without being able to get much for firepower for the remainder. That's why Twin Cobra is one of my favorite shmups, most others will let you get upgraded again fairly quickly in later levels and takes out that frantic attempt to stay alive on base shot.
Jack Burton:
So is the 1up in the second level random, or do you have to meet a requirement?
jasonbar:
I've been playing a bunch & have trouble getting through the 1st 2 bosses without dying. The 3 darn medium-sized airplanes are what usually do me in--they're far too tough.
I've had only a few runs where I got through the 1st 2 bosses w/out dying--then I often choke & don't do too well after that...
I've found that the 1UP appears in the short sideways ship on my perfect runs but not on my imperfect runs, so there's some trigger in there somewhere that affects it...
Thanks,
-Jason

They Black Tiger is out with the regular games, but unfortunately the joystick was horrible (especially going up) so I didn't get very far. Gonna see if I can them to look at it. I did take a pic or two of the cab, but I'll probably have to wait until I get home to post a pic. I'm not sure what kind of cab its in though.
