Scoring run of this horizontal shmup developed by Konami
and released in 1991.
Visually gorgeous, accompanied by a very good ost
and inspired by game like Gradius and R-type this shmup
passed under the radar in the early 90', mostly because of the
success of street fighters 2 in those years.
Gameplay might seem similar to R-type but only superficially,
the tentacle mechanic and the charged shot only available
when the flint (force) is locked make for a unique and more tactical playstyle.
In this run i used a "score bug" to achive more then 10M pts by triggering
a specific event for every life i had in stock.
Also i got 4 secret 1up in stage 1 and 3 (2 x loop),
guaranteed if specific action are performed (just do what i do in the video).
Even if this is a "scoring run" i didn't get a really good score because i
failed one of the "score bug" chance, a normal good run should be
around 12M+ or more if extra life show up,
anyway this is my best 2All for now while my best score is 13.6M (stage2-2),
will upload more when i get better game clear.
I played on Wolfmame 0.225 and i used 2 autofire
at 20Hz and 30Hz.
The 20Hz was necessary because when game slowdown
30Hz stop working correctly , too many input i think,
this problem seems corrected in Arcade Archives, but i haven't checked yet.
