Wow. This game has that ' come on I know you can do better' voice that keeps you there for a long time. I managed to get to the 5th, where Mr Chomper starts to travel faster.

I have to take a break, hand cramps. 52,350

Oh boy, MO has some work to do.....

Looks like MO needs to work on this one. 24,840

960 points away from the top.... 162,830

Looks like I will be winning the Participation award soon. Let's kick this week off on this weeks action. I hope everyone gives Moonwalker a chance. It has beat em up style, but it's way more. 127,620

Wow, that was a blast getting into The Pach" after many years of shelving it. I hit my 20 mil target. Mission accomplished. MO pledges to pursue that pesky Razzie P in the second half of the season, while fending off Cynicaster also. Because a friend of mine named Ricky Bobby reminded me that "if you're not first, your last!!!"

Oh yeah!! I had just enough in the fuel tank to conjure up this fine looking digit for "The Pach". I swear I could play DDp for 24 hours straight and still want to keep playing. That demonstrates just how good this game is. 21,642,630 -- Board 5

Ooh ya, mafacka! 264,675

77275 Squadron 7Wow, I'm glad I started on it early enough, this one is a blast as well! Definite strands of Missile Command are found.

It's taking everything I've got. I'm sooo close. 18,548,030

Oh I'm definitely hitting DDP hard tonight i have to hit 20 million. I managed to squeak out an improvement... 15,473,590 Up next is Colony 7, let's see what this one is about.

My Starting ship is the Red Shot Type. The Red Laser Type works better for Hit Counts. The other two ships I just couldn't get used to.

.....there are many other ways to score big on DDP. A big on is the Hit Count. There is a small power bar in the upper left corner. When you blow up an enemy, it will spike a little or a lot depending on the size of the enemy. The idea is to keep that power bar from bottoming out and restarting. High Hit Counts can give you massive points. Another interesting way to score big comes on the 3rd board. There are waves of Green beasts that shoot slow, pink, long and narrow projectiles in bullet hell fashion. In the mix of those beasts, there are humungous starships that are also bombarding you with shots. The idea is to have as many of those previously mentioned bullets on the screen as possible. When you destroy the Humungous ships, their powerful explosion evaporates the bullets with the shock wave. I'm not exactly sure of the scoring matrix, but it is substantial. Another nifty way to get some score on is by locating and collecting the hidden "bees" amongst the level. There are 13 scattered on each and every Board, from 1 to 6. When your ship is in Vertical alignment with the bee, they will flicker and reveal themselves. Simply activate your laser to unearth them, then fly over and collect. Another way is to use your laser bomb on Bosses when they are at their most feeble, which is in the Red Zone of the Bosses Vitality bar. For some reason the Hit Count goes wild. But it comes with a tradeoff of not having a fully equipped bomb stock with extra bombs when you begin the next board which ends up costing you. There are a couple other ways to get good scoring on Ddp. There are so many things to enjoy. This could make for one of the best shmups in late 90s bullet hell phase.

12,065,890 I'll start off with this as there should be lots of room for improvements. Keep in mind guys that you get mega points when you have a full set of bombs and you collect yet another bomb. The score goes crazy, and it gives you 10000 points a second!! The points per second goes up 10k every subsequent bomb.

Wow. Some solid scores there, FT.

Darn it, Rizzle P travelling to new heights.

Hey Bigbee99, I'm glad you can join the fun! I hope you can catch up on all scores. See you around. MO

The Speed Rumbler - 34,300 51,900 As promised. Lots of fun this one is.... 651,100

Up next for MO is Rainbow Islands. I know I can increase that one .

Ok. The pursuit to catch up to Ramses is about to begin. My first score to beef up is Russian Attack. 222,830 I still havent cleared the 1st loop yet.

Exactly. Leaving 2 or 3 on the inner ring is a good strategy, it protects you from accidental shootings. Leave a bit more for the middle and outer ring, and hope you leave a path to that evil bastard in the middle.

Eyes update 452,000 Got to Board 8. Gets really hectic.
