Cotton 2 is a great game. There is one thing I don't understand about it: it seems you can capture enemies by using your shot in addition to throwing a crystal, but I have no idea how to make this happen. Help, anyone?

Si, senor. You can either use a special shot [Back, Forward+A / F, B+A / etc.] or pick up and then throw a crystal with the B button to encase an enemy in a bubble. To keep an enemy in its bubble, continually shoot it or throw it at enemies. Don't let it hang around too long with touching it or it will burst.Quote:

Wow, I would have never guessed that a special move input was how you use the capture shot. This game is a blast--one of my favorite Saturn games and maybe one of my all-time faves.Quote:

Click, you have once again proven yourself a prince among men. Thank you.

I've always been a fan of Magical Chase and Keio Flying Squadron.
No problem. The other two special shot commands are as follows, by the way:
F, UF, U + A
F, DF, D + A
One more thing, just for kicks: constantly shooting an encased enemy will result in increasing your MAX HIT. Doing this will also produce a life item.
Constantly throwing an encased enemy so that it strikes and destroys other enemies results in increasing your MAX CHAIN.
That's about it, I think.
Oh yea, you can also drop a little nut-type weapon with the press of [I think]:
F, F + A
This will also encase an enemy if it makes contact.
Magical Chase- One of the best looking Turbo games, wonderful color and design too. Too easy though.
Turbo had a decent catalog of these games with Fantasy Zone, Coryoon, Cloud Master, L-Dis, Star Parodier, Parodius, Air Zonk, Long Nose Gremlin etc.
A few years ago I drew something up like that. The levels had Nintendo themes like a Kirby world, and a jungle level with a giant enraged Donkey Kong as a boss. The playable characters were Donkey Kong Jr, Mario, Fox McCloud, and a little alien in a UFO.Quote:

neo, twinkle star sprites is excellent, but it's really only worthwhile with 2 players. bizzare game, though.. it takes a few plays (and a good faq) to get the mechanics down.
Fantasy Zone, Parodius (unlike Gradius, I actually feel the PArodius games got better and better. I like the Konnami GX iterations the most) and Cotton are the big 3 for me. I also enjoyed Twinbee, Gunbird and Space Bomber.
Game Tengoku is great. You fight against an Arm Champs II machine and fly over the (SNES) Tuff E Nuff!:) It was my first PCB.
Frog: Try the 337 code in Space Bomber.
Would you guys consider Psycho Soldier a shmup?
What code is that?Quote:
