MAME ROW #36 - DonPachi

[pjft]

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

@dankcushions what's your favourite ship?
Mine is the blue one

[dankcushions]

@meleu the red, but now you have beaten my score i will try the blue ;)

@meleu & @dankcushions

[obsidianspider]

You guys are machines! I can't get above ~700,000

[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.

MAME ROW #37 is live!

[lilbud]

@meleu I did

[pjft]

I just tried the blue ship and got to the end of the 1st level only. It was my second attempt at the game, but it's thoroughly enjoyable.

I got 173k points or something - still far from your scores - but obviously suggests that my previous score was more like 19k and not 190k <shame>.

Still, I won't have more time to play this in the coming days, but thank you very much for getting me to be exposed to such a fun game. I will definitely be coming back to it! :)
