Season 9 Round 2 - Gyruss

[PeculiarSatyr]

Is shooting a picture required? I'm taking pictures of my scores regardless but its interesting trying to take a picture of a black screen with a white score in the top with a DSLR. I'm playing on original hardware on CRT TV so taking pics is kind fun.

Not required. But as an aside, I am able to take excellent screenshots with my DSLR. You just need to shoot in manual mode and play with the settings.

I wish I could take some screen pics but I've had too tough of a time doing it consistently...I'm also playing on original hardware (and a Powerpak, woot!) so it's a bit tricky. Screen shots are always more fun!

No pic, points wouldn't focus on my iPhone cam.

I had no problems getting a pretty sharp pic of mega man. With Gyuss the screen was mostly black so I probably was over exposing the small white score in the top corner.

 

I'm at work right now but hopefully I can get a higher score by tomorrow.

Not sure If this is the right place to post this. I just wanted to post a freeplay score. I just had the run of my life in Gyruss (NES). Beat it twice and made it to Mars on the third pass. No cheats or anything and played on original hardware with original cart.

This is the exact right place to post. That's an insane score. Good job.

Thank you!! I was pretty pumped about it. I am new to the forums and am hoping to get in on some of the current High score challenges and also post some freeplay scores.
