/vr/ - Retro Games

After seeing thread after thread for this game I finally got motivated to pick it back up last night. It'd been over a year since the last time I'd played and I'd been curious to try a route I'd never attempted in my 15+ collective years of play, one I'd dubbed the Star Wolf route (pic related).

Things looked bleak when I missed the warp in Meteo (it's always that last fucking gate), but I managed to set what I believe to be a personal record for Sector X, around 185 or so. I blame equal parts inexperience and what feels like a small additional amount of lag from either N64 emulation over the Wii or use of the Wavebird for most of the awkwardness.

Still, around an hour of good times. Score ended up in mid-1100s, not bad for shaking off the rust and taking a non-optimal route I don't think. Thanks for getting me off my ass and getting me to play one of my old favorites again, /vr/.
