Level 9 is destroying me every time. The part (near the end hopefully) with the constant stream of baddies going up and down the sides of the screen. Ugh! Every damn time!
Is this the last level? Even with a pea-shooter, set your speed to MAX, close your eyes, and just mash the direction pad and buttons.
Currently playing:
Pyramid Plunder (an old build). This is fun, but it starts off way too slow...I wish I could jump to the more challenging levels. I love the "speedy" run. I recall folks setting the turbo switch in the middle to pick up items and "half-run"...while this technique may work, I think it is cheesy to play in such a manner. I'm not trying to start a fight, but there is a beauty to playing Pyramid Power with no autofire.
Valis III Goddamn, I forgot how much I enjoy this game. I bought it when it was originally released for TG-CD...and every few years I revisit it. Damn, I know many folks don't get too excited about the Valis series, but Valis III on PCE is a treat. I played the Genesis version back when it was released, but I never gave a thorough side-by-side comparison of the two games. ALSO: I want to revisit Syd of Valis (SD Valis) because I wasn't too impressed with it back in the day, but I might be more forgiving now.
Mystic Formula I only spent a few minutes playing this, trying the different characters, watching the cinemas...but I'm hopeful that this game will be fun. The gameplay did not immediately "wow" me...but it already seems more competent than Final Zone II (and I was able to squeeze fun out of that sub-standard game), so <fingers crossed>
