Something's wrong with my upload and it's taking HOURS.

I'll go ahead and exclude myself unless a similar player appears. I do love this game!

[edit]

dude you can submit a score if you want. just making a joke that you have nothing to prove here and its way below you.

You would be a nightmare to play in vs. those endless chains would finish a person off in like 30 seconds.

Ill go ahead and post a score up of my run I had tonight


Tetris Attack  32,619




Super R-Type  143,900

Yes. I also love the ending themes. At least one of the best ending themes is not accessible in the sound test unless you hack a PAR cheat to set a higher value than it lets you go to.

I think it's the ending theme that plays in the video I posted.

[edit]

44m10s
46m cymbals and drums start
46m30s drums really kick in





How can I stop this forum from converting my YouTube link into an embedded video?

Why does the embedded video completely ignore the time stamp in the URL?

I'm partial to the Normal Vs Mode ending music:



...ALSO not in the sound test.  

I should have a higher score but 4-1 quickly obliterated me, lol.

I love the music. This game has got that classic Nintendo charm.

The Bowser special stage is ridiculous. I lasted maybe 10 seconds.

Well, he genuinely wants to encourage more people to play and get good at this under-appreciated game and I can see how going against him may be a bit discouraging. There were a couple players on zBattle.net that he used to get a good challenge out of and our roommate is pretty good, but he's long grown tired of us. The game deserves to be evangelized particularly because there's room for almost endless skill development. It doesn't throttle or limit you or anything. Those crappy web/mobile puzzle games will out-right lock your controls while matches are being made, pieces are falling, and chains are happening. NOT TETRIS ATTACK! It's actually disappointing to see it getting compared to the likes of Bejeweled and Candy Crush here since I've been face-palming every time some casual says that IRL for the last 20 years. It's in a totally different league!  

I particularly like the SFC and SNES versions. The N64 version became static with almost no animation while the 16-bit versions had miniature animated characters, main animated characters, background/surrounding animated character, fully-animated backgrounds, and more. Seeing the background and foreground ripple with heat waves while Flamer Guy and Blarge react to the gameplay is super impressive.

The flute and piano tracks sound amazing even for the SPC700, and the composer has the skill to back that up with excellent music making this one of the best-composed SNES games alongside Super Mario World 2 Yoshi's Island and the Donkey Kong Country series.

​I think it's awesome that even Nintendo's little projects back then oozed so much quality. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH. This was my exact sentiment.

 

It was my initial impression from my first time ever playing it. I went into it not knowing at all what to expect.


 

LOL! I understand. It's just that I've spent the last 20 years rolling my eyes when Bejewled players recommend their game after seeing this. They only think they're having fun because a bunch of stuff starts happening (uncontrollably) when they make a match. All these other ones, like Candy Crush, took that little ego-boost angle and ran with it, enticing millions and millions of players to vastly inferior games (there's an episode of South Park about this kind of game design). Anyone who's been playing Tetris Attack likely feels that these other games are a waste of time when they could be playing TA instead.  

Same Game, Sega Swirl/Bejeweled, Candy Crush, Slingo, Slots = Why aren't you playing Tetris Attack instead?!
 

It looks like there's a PAX tournament happening Sunday?

Got super R Type in the mail. I thought I already had it, but I just didnt and had to order one. 10 bucks though. So no biggie.. Going to give it a go and get a score up. It wont be good though. Im terrible at shooters

Was having a great run at Tetris Attack before 4-2 destroyed me.

They start falling so quickly on level 4.

The physics feel a lot different when they introduce dark-blue upside-down triangles and faster falling speed. That said, it's somehow easier for me to grab a falling piece and flip it (which can continue as a chain).

 

The first three levels are pretty much a cakewalk and then the difficulty ramps on level 4.
 

Tetris Attack is my jam! Definitely gonna compete in this one, hopefully tonight, if not then by the end of next week.

Tonight!
 

Nah didn't get to. I was hoping to get some time in before finishing packing to move but nope. I definitely want to take part in this so once I'm settled into my new house next week I'll be sure to compete  

Going for both! Both are new games to me and after my first round of each, I have to say I like them! Great picks this month!

Tetris Attack - 21912 23895
         
Super R-Type - 126400 143700 202400

Is it worth it for me to try and play Super R-Type again?

Yeah, you should beat it while you're at it
