Atari5200 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) Hello All. Round 2 will be R-type!!! SCREEN SHOT Until I can get this under it's own forum, the rules are as follows: Any controller scheme is fine. Emulation is ok. Any region of the game is fine as long as it is fundamentally the same game. Screen shots preferred but not necessary to post a score NO CHEAT CODES Competition will end: 11/02/2008 CURRENT LEADER BOARD: none yet Edited October 3, 2008 by Atari5200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_1 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 (edited) *runs to TurboGrafx to begin a late-night game of R-Type* And this was the score I ended with: 240,600 I will give it another run, as I know I can do much better than this(even though Stage 6 is like a dead end for me, can't proceed past there before using a continue). EDIT: New score: 301,200. Yeah, not that much better. Edited October 5, 2008 by Ace_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eltigro Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) How long will we have on this? I probably won't get any play time until this weekend. (EDIT) I doubt I will be competing for the top score, but it'll give me a reason to be humming the music all week. For some reason I really like the music in this game.

Ace_1 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) New score: 308,400 I have a little question for game suggestions. Are you allowed to suggest a game that never got a North American release? If so, I will suggest one for Week 3 once the competition for R-Type nears its end.

If so, I will suggest one for Week 3 once the competition for R-Type nears its end. I will consider it if a rom is available for people to at least emulate it. There is a ROM available for it. Actually, I will suggest 4 import-only games, one of which is getting a North American release on the Wii Virtual Console. So all games have ROMs available, but one of the games is a PC Engine Super CD-ROM(would these be accepted?). I'd like to stick to the shooter theme for as long as I possibly can, so I can take part in the TurboGrafx/PC Engine HSC for as long as possible. By the way, if you want I can suggest the game now.

Now you've got me curious. What are the one's you're thinking of? I can think of some good ones as well, such as Salamander, Gradius II Goffer, Sidearms Special, Browning or Xevious.

Ace_1 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) I say we roll out the Vic Viper for week 3 in Gradius(the original). Edited October 10, 2008 by Ace_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I don't own the original. Just Goffer and Salamander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace_1 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hey, you can always turn to emulation to play it(or the Wii Virtual Console if you have a Japanese Wii, which is how I'll play any PC Engine Gradius games). I was gonna suggest Salamander for Week 4 and Gradius II for Week 5. My suggestion for Week 6 will remain secret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari5200 Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 I fired up the GP32 to play some R-type. I was doing awesome and then realized, this game is too easy. Yeah the GP32 TG-16 emulator screws up R-type and it's impossible to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace_1 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Are you serious??? I guess this only means one thing, unless someone takes over: bye-bye TurboGrafx HSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
