vdub_bobby Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Leave the arcade and hit the skies! It's time to play Zanac A.I.! Post a score and let's get this thing rolling! Please post any tips you may have - best tip gets 1 bonus point! Note: no continuing, no codes, and, apparently, you can warp backwards - so no endless backwards warping, please - that would be considered leeching. And if anyone has a link to the manual, please post it. This week's competition ends next Tuesday (July 17) morning at approximately 8:00 am PST. This week's standings: 412,680 keilbaca (+10 pts) 348,240 scooby105 (+8 pts + 1 pt for best tip) 147,650 8th lutz (+6 pts) 74,940 LarcenTyler (+4 pts) 72,890 vdub_bobby (+2 pts) Twin Galaxies High Scores None.

keilbaca Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Normally I dont play, but I love my vertical shooters, I couldn't pass on this. I did a quick run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubufubu Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 37,710,750 Part 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDEXA7TZHgc Part 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc4236SY23M This is my favorite shooter! I followed the Twin Galaxies rules for this run. You are allowed to use the backwards warps, but only once each. And you are allowed to farm the bosses and mid-bosses for points because there's a timer and the game doesn't progress until you either destroy the boss or the timer runs out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonPedro Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 That's an insane score, bubufubu! If you're interested in participating in other High Score Clubs, we're currently playing another shoot em up developed by Compile in the TG16/PC Engine CD HSC - Spriggan.

bubufubu Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks, DonPedro. I have a run where I maxed out the score, but it abuses the backwards warps so that's a no-go on here. I posted a few scores on the Sega Master System thread, but things seem to be pretty quiet around there. As far as TG16/PC Engine CD goes, I don't have that emulator and I'm not sure I'd be able to download it if I found one. I've never played Spriggan before. Just watched some footage of it on Youtube and it looks like it could be my kind of shooter. No surprise that Compile developed it. I'd be happy to take on any shooter from the eras I grew up in as long as they're not bullet hell games. But it looks like Spriggan won't be happening anytime soon. I appreciate the comment and I'll try to remember your recommendation. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubufubu Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 50,587,620 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T90G1QrsA8A Freeplay score update. No backwards warp abuse here. This was moreso an exhibition of a neat, but difficult, trick you can pull off on the final boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
