      Managed to top it slightly (87800) yesterday by maximizing profits, before the lady boss inevitably stomped me to oblivion. The thread-the -needle gameplay she requires is too much for my frail nerves (and battered Dualshock).

        Does any picture of the cabinet exist ? I wasn't able to find 'em.

        Not sure if I understand you right. Using Google with "Parodius Arcade Cabinet" there are ton of pictures.

          If you look close, you'll notice that none of the pictures (at least that I see) are of dedicated 'Parodius' cabinets. The closest thing seems to be the generic, glossy white cabs found in Japanese game centers.

          @UDb23 Could it be that the game had no dedicated cabinet?

            @mediamogul @udb23 Oh, didn't notice that. Sorry then.
            Maybe it is in this collection here: http://www.progettosnaps.net/cabinets/
            I don't have this currently, so can't tell it.

              Good idea. It's worth taking a look at. I have a complete set of cabinet snaps from 0.139 and it's not in there, but it may have been added since.

                Stop chatting about cabs and get playing :D I need some motivation.
                I've cranked it up to 97100 (two words: bell farming) but that's about that probably. The lady is just too much. I think you don't even need to kill her, just survive her stomping around...

                  @youxia Ah no, you can't kill her. You just survive.

                    unfortunately, probably you're right.

                      Ha! I hear ya. I seriously considered it this week, as I love 'Parodius', but all my attention is currently set on getting better at 'Stargate/Defender II'. It's kicking my tail, but I'm too addicted to give up.

                        seems Parodius series used candy cabs.

                          @youxia You asked for it.

                          127600
                          Died once at the lady. The enemies there are still my problem. Made it to stage two and had a good run. But if you die there where I did, you are almost lost without your upgrades. Look at the position there, how to shoot upwards without upgrades. -.- You have to get close, but its risky. Anyway, good luck. You will need it. ;-)

                            That's 140600. My ol' Dualshock3 died on Saturday and i had to splash on a brand new DS4, spent probably more than on all my other gamepads in last 5 years :) But it's worth it, amazing controller.

                            That's probably why now the lady is beatable, though yeah, when you arrive with full gear the game sends those damn penguins, to make sure you will face the next boss/stage naked. Truly devious :D

                              @youxia Amazing! Not sure if I can do this again. :D But stay tuned, its not over yet.

                              Btw I play with Arcade Stick, as I want play all Arcade games with that stick to get better at it. The Dual Shock 4 is a truly good gamepad and its worth the price.
