Seems the last one was deleted for some reason? Let's talk shmumps. Currently running Gleylancer and it's pretty good so far sans how difficult it was for me to see the projectiles in the first level.

Anyway, I'm playing the original MSX Zanac and having a ball, though it's got some flaws. The A.I. system is opaque to me—I'm not sure how to manipulate no matter which route I take (how many special buildings I've blown up, average firing rate, special weapon(s) chosen, &c.). Occasionally the music/sound effects hitch up, a sign that it's a game pushing the MSX1 to its limits frequently. And some hitboxes are imprecise like hell!

I've made progress, though, getting to the halfway point in two days.

I bought a used copy of Dezaemon for the Super Famicom and I almost don't want to erase the project that was saved on the cartridge by the previous owner: an unfinished Mazinger themed shmup. I almost feel bad doing it, like I'm erasing the cartridge's history if I do.

If it makes you feel any better, the original owner clearly didn't care enough to actually finish it or keep the game in his collection. So he probably forgot about it long, long ago.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention in the previous thread, another typical flaw of euroshmups: inertia controls that have you bouncing against the scenery like a pinball, like the second level in Tyrian and an ingame shop where half the upgrades are useless.

Forget it, /vr/. It's time for me to pack up and go home. I have played through Gradius, Gradius II, V, Gaiden, and Rebirth. They were all excellent shooters that offered challenges to be overcome with determination and practice. But this -- *this* -- is something else entirely. It's not as if I only tried it once and declared it too hard, no. I've been going back for the past several years. Navigating narrow spaces full of enemies and bullets with an enormous hitbox. Lions that have too much health. Only occasionally do I my way to the boss where I can proceed to the next nightmare of a stage. I've said enough. My time has come.

Made it to round 6 of Zanac A.I. last night. Trickiest boss so far is the one where both lightning-bolt zappers are right at the bottom of the screen, right-hand side below the fortress. I'm considering the front-shield weapon as a safeguard against stray bullets I might not cancel using the three-way shot.

The controller method you should invest in is which ever one feels most comfortable to you to maximize your potential. Daily reminder that Gus counterstopped mushi futari ultra on a stock 360 dpad, Prometheus 2 loops daioujou on a keyboard, mrmonkeyman 2 ura loops ketsui on a saturn pad, tviks 16 loops gaiden on a ps1 pad, akai katanas wr is a pad also so just find out what works best for you and don't fall into the "muh arcade authentic feelz" club. I used a sanwa stick or 4 years btw and now much prefer the ascii ps1 pad.
