MAME ROW #125 - Strikers 1945

[IanDaemon]

I prefer Strikers 1945 III (Strikers 1999 in Japan) to the original, but that's just me. Cool series though! Angel Kids is wacky enough for my vote!

[cyperghost]

@IanDaemon Yes .... a fast shooter for today? - So Striker is good
I never heard about Angel Kids ;)

[cyperghost]

@obsidianspider Something is going wrong with the poll ;)
I think me and Ian voted for Strikers but we have two votes on Angel Kids ;)

So what to do?

[IanDaemon]

@cyperghost And we have only one vote for Strikers 1945?

[cyperghost]

@IanDaemon seems so ;) I voted for Strikers but saw 2 votes for Angel Kids and 0 for Strikers

[IanDaemon]

@cyperghost Well, I did vote for Angel Kids due to its "wacky-ness" although I enjoy Psikyo shooters. Maybe the poll is accurate? I dunno. I may have to find and add that Super Locomotive title to my collection.

[IanDaemon]

Angel kids is quirky, but I can't get the controls setup well enough to play it over and over (or at all really). My high score is ten points. (That's one dot collected.)

I must've gotten a bad ROM of Super Locomotive. I couldn't get that one to load. All three games this week look to have high replayability!

[obsidianspider]

This game's winner is Strikers 1945

[cyperghost]

Now we need some good scores ;)

Which combat plane is the best?

• P-38 Lightning
• P-51 Mustang
• Supermarine Spitfire
• Messerschmitt Bf 109
• Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero
• Kyushu J7W Shinden

[IanDaemon]

Whoa, holy voting Batman! (or more appropriately for this audience Ninja Baseball Batman)

@IanDaemon said in MAME ROW #125 - Strikers 1945:

Ninja Baseball Batman

It's Ninja Baseball Bat Man. But yes, quite a turnout :).

[IanDaemon]

@mitu Yeah, I was just prepending the "Ninja Baseball" part considering the readership and combining the references. NBBM is a good game. It's a shame that beat 'em up doesn't get more notice. I love the wacky enemies.

@cyperghost Detailed info on Strikers1945 on hardcoregaming101; including the "unusual" endings.
Seems the developers have an obsession :-D

[cyperghost]

@UDb23 There is need for some corrections in the hardcoregaming guide

Messerschmidt Bf-109 [...] Its bomb is one of the stranger attacks, calling in many giant planes to come in and suicide bomb everything on screen.

No it's just a stuka-attack ;)

[cyperghost]

My contribution to this is ~100.000pts
Piece of cake

MAME ROW #126 is live!

[cyperghost]

@obsidianspider 10 votes one score :( And Strikers was a good game :(

[IanDaemon]

@IanDaemon I finally have a decent (two stick) control set-up for Angel Kids. Waaay easy when the controls aren't crap. XD

[IanDaemon]

@IanDaemon OK, so the controls are straight-forward, but I still find them difficult.
