Cotton - didn't have this one as a kid so it is new to me and it's alot of fun. Worth the hefty price tag IMO....

Worked on Blazing Lazers again tonight.  Same old story, not much of an issue until I get to level 9.  Once I get a few bosses in and die it's game over.  I'll keep at it though. :cry:

Hey Roy,
At the risk of stating the obvious (and something that maybe everyone already knows):
I used to have a tough time with Blazing Lazers too...here's what eventually got me through.
Although it isn't mentioned in the instruction manual, there's a way to earn several chances to "come back" after you die...ever notice how sometimes, when you die, you can just keep going right there? Whereas, sometimes after dying you have to start back at the last "checkpoint"?
Well, the way to earn more chances is to *always keep shooting* those rotating "4-in-1" weapon balls. If you shoot them long enough, they turn into a flashing rainbow ball that acts like a POW.
For every rainbow ball you collect, you have one more chance to fight without being sent back.

As a result, I NEVER collect those 4-in-1 balls unless it's something I absolutely need. This makes beating the final stages much easier.

Hope this was helpful!

As for me, I've been playing a lot of Space Harrier lately. I finally heard the hero say in his garbled digital voice nonsense, "Welcome to the Fantasy Zone" or whatever he says. I didn't know he was even talking!!

I did notice that sometimes that happened but I didn't even give it a second thought as to why.  I just took a look in the manual to see what it says and I couldn't find it in there at all.  Not doubting you, I just wanted to see exactly what it said.  Definately some excellent info and now that I know it, I think it should ease things up a TON.  Thanks man!
All is well. :)

Finished up Blazing Lazers yesterday so I thought I'd move on to another shooter I haven't played yet.  Popped in Super Star Soldier for a bit and it was great but just wasn't in the mood for it as it is exactly like Blazing Lazers....  So I threw in Lords of Thunder.  now I watched oldskool play it before and he damn near beat the game on his first try making it look easy as shit.   Ummmm, not so much....  It kicked my ass.   :lol:
All is well. :)

playing Kabuki IttouRyoudan.  Its a pretty good fighter for the system.  besides Street fighter 2 and the snk fighters its pretty good. That frikkin monkey pisses me off. Once your about to beat the monkey a frikkin spaceship comes and hits you on the head!  I have to figure which character is best to beat him.  Those damn spaceships get me everytime.

Agreed; this game kicks all sorts of ass.  8)

That frikkin monkey pisses me off.  Once your about to beat the monkey a frikkin spaceship comes and hits you on the head!  I have to figure which character is best to beat him.  Those damn spaceships get me everytime. 

Aren't they carved monkey statues?  Whatever they are, they can be a bitch (as can all the desperation moves).  Keep at it; you'll find the right combo soon enough.
