Using continues is ok but your score will be reset.

To get a screenshot of your score..allow the demo to run after your game to get your score

 

There is a Level select for this game and you can use it if you want...but I would advise against it as the the default weapon is too weak for later levels.

 

Level Select..At the Title screen hold DownLeft, Button I and II then press Run. Once in use the D Pad to select level and there is a a LEVEL 0 or 1 ... 0 (zero) is default.

 

Emulation is fine, any control scheme is fine, Autofire is NOT ok, pics are not required but are requested for top scores.

Between TG and SMS, on a bit of a shoot 'em up kick are we? This one's pretty sweet, like the power ups, smooth flying, and story, which is pretty funny. Before I submit a score, I want to make sure I have the rules right- what's considered autofire? I'm playing on OpenEmu and I hold down a button and the bullets start flying, like it's turbo (but I still have to hold down the button, so it's not just automatically shooting ?) I don't think there's a way for me to control the turbo slider on the controller. There is a button for 2/6 mode, which I have no clue about. I've never played on a TurboGrafx in person, so when it comes to the controller and all it's crazy turbo-ness, I'm a little lost.

I never played the TG16 in person either, i copied that from the last time this game was played in this HSC 7 years ago.
Holding down the fire button should be fine, i'll allow that.

Forgot I hadn't submitted a score here yet! I like the frantic shooting and how you can get power-ups that shoot in lots of directions.

Felt like I was getting close to the 2nd stage boss...holding onto those grenades

 

Anyone know how/if extra lives are awarded?
