Shmup Contests: Official Thread

[QuickSciFi]

It should be edited into the first post as they come.

[Kollision]

Darwin 4081

641,200

Died in the last boss, in my last life.

[QuickSciFi]

You're too good. I'm not sure I can manage, but I'll try.

[Kollision]

Thanks, but I'm just a padawan...
Wait till the Coop or SM come with their numbers!

[The Coop]

The Coop - 671,740 - All (1LC)

[StarMist]

from Kollision:

On a general note, are all scores going to be in this same thread?
Is anyone organizing the results in tables or something?

Yes to both.
nb: Recca's clock max appears to be 60:00:00; in which case the clock wouldn't be reset for the second half of the game.

Official Summer Carnival `92 Recca results

The Coop = 5,017,991 -- 22:00:62 -- All.

Kollision = 4,376,558 -- 21:56:40 -- All.

Thunderblaze16 = 4,160,215 -- (Time and completion unknown).

StarMist = 4,116,706 -- 25:27:08 -- All.

lv 7 300,000 is going to have to suffice for my final score as this game gives me too many visibility problems.

Come on QuickSciFi, show us how it's done.

Nor is it premature for a little discussion what's up next.

[Thunderblaze16]

Verytex

Score: 0712968

I was gonna take a pic but the credits started rolling and the game didn't fucking give me a chance to see it afterwards.

[Kollision]

Dude, why are you playing Verytex?
I thought we were supposed to stick to the game of the week....
Anyway...

Had a last shot at Darwin 4081 today:
866,960 (ALL)

[Thunderblaze16]

Blah, I'll pass that game till next contest.

[The Coop]

So what's the next game? Darwin 4081 ended last Saturday.

[Kollision]

Indeed.
However, I was thinking of something to be played for the rest of the year and not only a week, a game that will attract more people to the fun. Darwin 4081 failed at it.
We could vote. I know that if we go for Hellfire StarMist will join, but that would have to be on Hard. Fire Shark seems to be fun, a few members would also get a head start on it.

So what do you guys think?

[Thunderblaze16]

I say, Thunder force IV

[The Coop]

It doesn't have to be Genesis-centered. There are a metric fuckton on MAME as well, many of which never came home to a console (or only got a Japanese release console-wise).

[Thunderblaze16]

Lets see, we got Gradius, Darius, R-type, Aero Fighters, Super Fantasy Zone, MANUAL GOKUJOU PARODIUS, and many other great shmups.

hmmmmm...
