Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I'm glad I opened up this forum......it will motivate me to play my Turbo games more as I've been really lax in that area (mostly playing 360 at the moment).

OK. I just beat Galaga 90 on difficult using all the dimensional warps. Oh, except the first one. I always forget to leave behind a couple of the bugs on the first two levels so that I can grab some capsules.  #-o  Oh, and I also used the "galactic dancing" secret for extra bonus points.

So, my final high score was 1 081 850.

Other stats:

Shots Fired: 2903
Number of Hits: 2252
Hit-Miss Ratio: 77.5%

Now the warrior must rest hehe  :mrgreen:

Not that I disbelieve anything here, but more folks need to start grabbing screenshots.

Hehe. Fair enough. At the moment the best I could do is take a digital picture or video of my high score. I really don't want to have to play through it right now, but I'll do it again if need be.  :) Though the game is definitely easier than its arcade counterpart it's still fun to play.  :dance:

OK, as I was writing this I realized that I left the game on.  :pray: hehe. I really didn't want to have to go through that again right now. I had to start over halfway through my first attempt tonight. I thought the game froze, but my controller just fell out of the port.  ](*,) I'm a real noob sometimes.  :roll:

Here's the screen shot:

Hehe  :) Sorry for the size of the screenshot.  :oops: I just reduced it so it wasn't soooo big. But it's still fairly large. I'll try and get it even smaller.  :)

OK, I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I can either get the image uber small, or uber big. I can't get to around 2 inches by 2 inches.  ](*,) I'll keep trying, but at least it's not as big as it was.  :lol:

Eureka!! I finally figured it out!!!  :dance: Again, I was just being a noob with Photoshop.  :roll: I forgot to save for web and reduce the resolution to 72. hehe. Worked like a charm.  8)

Actually "saving for web" is the n00b way to do things in Photoshop.  Just take your original image, then go to IMAGE > IMAGE SIZE, make sure the dimensions are in pixels and not DPI or percentage or anything like that, pick a good size and resize it (make sure your proportions are constrained), then go to FILE > SAVE AS... save it as a JPEG on the 7 or 8 setting.  Upload.  Link.

Your current picture is way too small.

Yeah, figured as much. Cus I actually never used that for the website I developed for school last year.  :) I just noticed it tonight actually. I'm not even sure I used it when I finally got the right size. lol I must have tried 10 times doing different things before I got it right.  ](*,) I think by the end of it I just went to Image > Image Size, and made the dimensions 2 in x 2 in and put the resolution to 72 and saved it as a gif.
