Grar. I just finished beating it on hard mode with only 85 rerecords. No deaths. ...However, in my infinite stupidity, I failed to backup my stuff every so often. The blasted movie desynchs almost immediately as my ship plows up into a ship. *scowl* I'll be trying again in the morning. Maybe I'll take a stab at beating it with some form of slowdown in place. Since I can beat it fullspeed, I figure slowdown would only help the cause. Dangit. And I made some really insane moves near the end of level five where I took a lower path and had to do some annoyingly fast moves to keep from getting plotzed. Blar, I say. Blar! *goes to look for other good shooters* Suggestions? Watching Thunderforce 3 put me in the mood to blow things up. o_o

Zero Wing, only because of the famous intro that you'll probably skip when playing for speed.

Ah, I dunno. Unless the later levels get different, Zero Wing is a pretty slow game. And there isn't enough weapon variety/power for my liking. If memory serves, there was only three levels of power for each, and only three different types, total. X.x Hm...was Darius Twin SNES or Genesis? o.o

this is a run for arrow flash. aim : 100% kill here arrow flash is a classic shoot them up . you control a jet which can change into a robot. nothing more to say. it was the first game I owned. so it's like an hommage. I thought I can do a submition but the game is a little boring so I put it there. besides there are some flaws, not obvious but there are. in stage 2b there are some fishes which are invincible. in stage 3b there is a fish which explode only after living the screen. but it was destroyed, huh!

Cool.. I accually remember this one. hehe.. lots of memories when dad rented a MegaDrive and some games including this one. =) Anyway.. Some enemies(4) was escaping your blade of laser at stage 2b. Is this the "fishes" that you spoke of? but if they now are invincible, then why are some of them exploding? ;) http://frenom.areta.org/arrow.avi What happed to the music at the second last stage? And, you could end you movie a lot faster. Otherwise.. great work
Wheeeehaaa.. Yaaayy..

yeah, I think the programmers wanted to do some backgrounded enemies, there are some fishes , who are moving from down uo up; who are invincible. whatever I do, I simply cant touch them, and they were all moving the same way. I concluded that 's because they were meant to be in the background when they go up and are in the frontground when they go down, bet it's not very satisfying? anyway, they are invincible so I cant kill them... bout the music, I don't know, I thought it was ok. well I'll check it . bout the time, yeah I think I could have kill the boss faster, but surprisingly, he wae tougher than in my memories. I should have used my remaining arrow flashes. thank you for the feedback. It was a kind of nostalgic run for me too , hehe.

*wince* Arrow Flash. I actually made a run of this once, a few months back. But I was stupid and didn't check it after each level or so, so when I went back, it desynched pretty early on. *gets and watches*
