And that pressure of playing, that's the best part of it for me. This summer I'll be working on DDP and DP (probably Ikaruga as well, but that's questionable) without any help, and I want to see how far I can get. I know people have figured out decent ways of chaining levels, but I want to figure that out all on my own, and I know I very well can, even if it takes me 100s of hours to do so. I know people have different views on this than I do.
Well, do you really want to spend hundreds of hours playing only those games? I know they are great shooters, but I tend to try out lots of games just to keep things fresh and not get burnt out on playing any one game way too much. But I can see where you're coming from... take Shock Troopers, that right there is the game I have probably played more than anything else in my life. I had to completely dissect that game on my own (mainly because nobody else gave a damn about it and it was impossible to find any in-depth information on it), so yeah I'm pretty proud of what I managed to accomplish on my own. But then there's Shock Troopers: 2nd Squad, I played the hell out of that and got my scores up to 14 million, and then I found out the Gamest record is 30 million... I thought I had the game pretty much entirely figured out but apparently I'm missing something. Any playing I've done afterwards hasn't resulted in a discovery of where these extra points come from, and I'm desperate to know. If there was a recording out there detailing how to get 30 million, I'd download it in an instant. I want to get the most possible out of the game and I've done all I could, I now want to see what I'm doing wrong.

That's it, I think I've said enough in this thread.

Well, I don't and wouldn't mind playing a game for 100s of hours. Between 2 or 3 shooters(as well as I might play a game here or there on the side), I don't think I'll get bored or burnt out.

Your Shock Troopers performance is nothing short of stellar, and I want to have something like that of my own.

EXACTLY....which is how I feel about most of my scores. if I had watched inps of other players then just copied them to get a high score it wouldn't be nearly as satisfying.

There have been a few of these odd games where I have watched the inp just to see how to play the game...cuz the demo/attract mode doesn't show squat and I have never seen the game before...and the goal isn't obvious in a few of them.

Actually for many other games I wouldn't mind watching an inp or 2 as well...cuz it wouldn't really help me do any better...but just see good play.

All this Reactor chat has me hungry to play some Reactor! I used to play that game a little bit...loved the game "music".

Some might find this interesting if it's your first time to hear this. I couldn't upload the file here as the file size was just a tad over the 256k limit imposed for this board. However, if you simply download my "submission" to the K3 Reactor competition and change the file extension from .inp to .ram you'll hear Reactor music in a slightly different way. Especially the beginning portion.

Is that "warning, your unstable." actually in the game, or did you add it from something else?

After that the rest sounded normal...although maybe a little longer than usual...would have to time that instruction sequence in the game.

I wish it was in something other than ram format though. It would be cool to get that over to mp3 or something similar.

Interesting, JoustGod.

Rick, it sounded more like "Warning, core unstable" to me, not sure though.

I hate .RAM and all real media player files beyond all belief. But, I downloaded RealPlayer just to hear it.

BTW, I'm waiting for you Destructor.

OWWW, my EYES!!! that yellow text color is horrible!

wuzel, you played pacmania 200 times to get the score you submitted? man, that's a lot of playing. I might hate the game if I played it 200 times in 1 week.
