In this stream I played Salamander by Konami (1996) for the Mamemeister High Score Kerfuffle Season 17 game 1 on a Pi5 running Batocera (Libretto:MAME core).
While I'm not a fan of this genre I don't hate games like this and this is one of the better ones due to the fact that if you lose a life it's not game over. You can easily build up enough power to carry on.
It's still quite frustrating needing precise movements at the right times to survive and appears to have a ranking system as the Stage 2 boss was very much more difficult when I started that phase at over 90000 points.
Anyway, my best score on stream was 123700. If I get the time I will try more but it's not a game that draws me in and I already have more than I expected to get so might just leave it. Onwards and upwards to the next game!
