Herbarius Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Phew, this game is relentless! I'll not post a high score until it gets to non-embarassing levels (i.e. 50,000 or more) - if that happens before Tuesday.

starcry Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 355300 bah no way im gonna catch that guy lol. Those scores are insane. Im just trying to get my percent to a decent level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Hey atari2600land (and anyone else having some difficulty), I made a video of myself playing through the first level. Among other things, it shows how to get past the volcanoes. Instead of trying to dodge the rocks, camp out over the left volcano and shoot like crazy. It's good for around 10,000 points. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpx0o9_5qRo BTW, I'll update the scores list later today.

mihcael Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 491,200 - keep dying at the same place, but im getting better along the way! Realised i was playing at 50fps and not 60, so here is a score at 60fps. It Wasnt really clear, but it seems 60 is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted January 26, 2010 Author Share Posted January 26, 2010 It would be more accurate to say that 60 is preferred. If you are playing on an emulator anyway, then you might as well play it at 60. If you were playing the actual game on a PAL system then 50 would be acceptable.

darthkur Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 371,700 Thank you for the 2 day grace period. It seems like I'm always running late on about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thank you for the 2 day grace period. It seems like I'm always running late on about everything. You and me both. I always intend to enter these HSC's, and usually forget to submit a score. Thus the grace period. 7 hours left for Gradius!! Score list was just updated.
