Normal score: 1,181,900 - Rob / F5U (Flying Pancake) -- 1-8

Note: This is the neutered U.S. PSX version, so I\'m stuck with Original 1, if that makes any competitive difference.

I've heard this game is very similar to Gunbird 2 and have been meaning to pick it up for a while, but one thing I need to know is if there's a TATE mode in the domestic PSX version.

[Mode7]

Nice score -- you must have been very close to hitting the loop. I'm using the NA PSX rev as well, though hopefully not for much longer. I highly doubt there are any scoring differences of note between the different modes, so no sense in segregating them until someone can prove otherwise.

weeman: no TATE for the domestic.

Final Boss Strategy

[Punky Skunk]

I was pretty close. I think I was on the third form of the final boss. I'll have to try again soon.

[wEEman33]

I've got a copy of the game sitting in my room right now just waiting to be opened.....but I am still debating whether or not I should return it or keep it....

[Mode7]

If you got the game for fairly cheap, I'd bust it open. But if you do dig the game, chances are good you'll be wanting to pick up the import eventually.

[cigsthecat]

551,600 -- cigsthecat / J7W (Shinden) -- 1-6

What would be a good score for where I got on this last run? My medal collecting skills need some work I think.

[Punky Skunk]

I usually have 610,000-630,000 at the end of 5. Going into 7 I think I have about 800,000 typically.

[cigsthecat]

Seems about right. I didn't get too far into 6.
