#10pscore I switched the controls to the keyboard cursor keys which improved my accuracy. Unfortunately it did nothing to improve my skill that fed into my lack of patience for playing the game. I can see why lots of people enjoy it but its not for me. Only scored 6830.

#10pscore this Amiga feeling shooter is terrible. I couldn't even put my name in because fire ends entry so DAA scored 24880. I thought you could hold fire to lock your aim but it was just the stodgy controls.

I just backed The story of the ZX Spectrum in Pixels GOLD Edition on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/zza…

#10pscore slight increase in my score at 220050. This week i struggled to beat the 2nd level boss with any consistency. I saw a 1 life video on YouTube where after the 4th or 5th level all 3 ships combine together, resulting in one life but with a big health bar and firepower.

#10pscore I'm liking this, nice visuals and the explosions sound meaty. So far scored 220250 but I keep getting obliterated by the wall of bullets at the start of level 3.

#10pscore scored 74110. I'm a big fan of single screen platformers. Not had much time to play. It's not as good as Bubble Bobble. It really lacks pickups, extra lives, hidden scoring, the rush to get that big high scoring item and big bonus on killing multiple enemies.

#10pscore It was the final time picking my daughter up from drama so with an hour to kill I had time to start on a high score. So far 122130. Not played since I had a PSP. The Metal Slug was heavily inspired by Bonaparte from Dominion Tank Police, one of my fav anime series.

#10pscore I'm enjoying this one. I briefly played it a couple of years ago. Just had the one credit tonight and died to the round 3 boss. I'm loving the art, sound, music and to be honest the whole aesthetic of the game.

A moai head has appeared outside my house tonight. It gave me quite the confused shock when I rounded the corner in my car after picking my son up.

#10pscore Scored 35600 on my 2nd credit about 3 weeks ago, managing to reach level 2. I've got further into level 2 since but nowhere near that score. It's too easy to have a bad run. If you look up "peashooter" in the dictionary it will read "Speed Rumbler".

#10pscore only scored 37220. I got this score on my last game tonight. I only play Galaga on the PS1 while Tekken loaded and a couple of credits during the Timewarp arcade meet up. I failed to fight my urge to shoot that diving alien only to crash into it, time & time again.

#10pscore currently scored 11700. The analogue joystick is helping but still lots of incorrect movements causing many deaths or missed incinerations. I am struggling with understanding how the enemies move because sometimes they ignore you other times they appear to home in.

#10pScore no score for me this month. My dad entered a hospice just over two weeks ago but he died yesterday (Friday).

#10pScore I've only had chance for 3 credits so only scored 201600. I had Xmas off but I was ill with a cold/COVID for 3 weeks so I had interest in anything. Plus my dad has taken a turn for the worst so I've been busy with him. I really wanted to play this too.

#10pscore Scored 4531700. I bought myself a new toy to play retro/more modern PC games while sat on the sofa In this case sat in the car waiting for my daughter to finish drama. This is a really nice feeling game & the power ups are fun with my fav is cooking dinos with napalm.

#10pscore Not had much time to play plus with trouble emulating. Scored 186320. Knew I would have a hard time with the game when, on my 1st life of my 1st credit, I died to the 1st bullet from the 1st enemy. Sneaky little ships like to home in you when you think you are safe.

#10pscore I bought the Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium for Switch so I could get some practice in on the sofa before I switched to MAME. Got to the falling platforms bit but the clunky jumping mechanics killed my enjoyment because I was improving. Switched to MAME & scored 16600.
