MAME ROW #36 - DonPachi

[obsidianspider]

This week's decisive winner is DonPachi!

[GtBFilms]

Didn't get my vote in in time, but Donpachi is a classic.

Bettered only by Ikaruga in my opinion, with it's novel black/white polarity game mechanic.

Look forward to giving this one a go.

Oh wow, DonPachi. Have heard loads of good things about it, never played it.

Will try to get a few games in this week then! :)

[backstander]

I don't think I've ever played DonPachi but I have played DoDonPachi (which I believe is a sequel). I've heard that this game gets pretty hard!

Mega @meleu is ready to go!

[pjft]

@obsidianspider Haha! You'll have to tell the story behind that one for the rest of us :)

[obsidianspider]

@pjft It's all @mediamogul's fault

@meleu & @dankcushions

[obsidianspider]

[lilbud]

My score is in the red box: 579,201
I couldn't get the scoreboard to show up when I died

[meleu]

@lilbud & @obsidianspider Try again using the blue ship!!

[pjft]

I had the chance to play a single attempt yesterday and only managed to scrape by some 190k or so as well, so didn't get the chance to enter my score as well. Also didn't think I would have taken a screenshot after seeing your scores :)

Will try more tomorrow hopefully.
