Level 7 (boss)

Of course only one specific weapon works on the boss. Up yours, whoever designed that.

SNK 40th anniversary collection got an update, and new games were added.

Munch Mobile
Fantasy
Sasuke vs Commander
Chopper 1
Time Soldiers
Bermuda Triangle
Paddle Mania
Ozma Wars
World Wars
Beast Busters
SAR: Search and Rescue

SAR and Beast Busters have to be downloaded directly from the game's page in the e-shop. It's probably because they're gory. Still no tate mode that I can see.

Heres Nemesis. Beat it once, then died on the loop

Managed to get further. You can rack up a ton of points and extra lives on the Moai boss of stage 4. Of course I promptly lost all of them on the next stage.

Damn this game really spikes the difficulty after level 7.

Dunno if anyone else knew this or not (which I just found out myself last night...) Ketsui Deathtiny Kizuna Jigoku Tachi got a physical release on PS4 in Japan.


(pretty sure this is the final artwork so over look the "sample" bit)

That armored boss is impossible!

Nearly doubled my score and progress. But the crazy part is I'M NOT EVEN HALFWAY THROUGH YET! This game is going to kill me.

Not much to report, just doing a little better.

Updated!

Thanks a lot guys for keeping this pretty active considering it's not a shmup-dedicated forum! I know I've not been very active in putting up scores myself but I do really like going through and seeing all of yours, it's been quite impressive!

Finally found some time to sit and play my Japanese PS2 and decided to pop in Thunder Force VI for a few quick attempts. I've only played once prior to today so I'm pretty happy with my progress in 3 tries (I don't use continues). I take it by the scoreboard that there are a total 6 levels so I am sure I'm getting close.

My main goal with shmups is to 1CC them on default settings, and I consider them "Complete" when I 1LC them, and "Mastered" if I can manage to do so on the hardest difficulty (I've only "mastered" a few games).

Really enjoying this game, and will definitely beat it soon!

beat it on Albatross, Ace, and Ultimate. Unfortunately it's still to easy on ultimate difficulty and I could have looped it indefinitely. So I just turned it off on level 2 of ultimate the second time around
