Golden Era Game of the Week 7/8/06: Radical Radial

[destructor]

EVERYTHING about the game is harder from that point on.

Not true
Yesterday I first time play on this game (after big party -> my wife birthday ).
Read my last words:

PS. This game has nothing common with DonPachi or other shmup.

Made save state on for example level 20 and very careful observe enemies on phase 1 and next enemies on phase 2 and 'crazy ship'.

so you're saying there's no patterns on Donpachi or what...?

I don't know, even if you think you have the patterns down, you can still easily die at any point... especially on the highways.

In DonPachi you must still move using your joystick between enemies or bullets, if you stay you die. In radrad is reverse
With my method you made less points (about 3-5k for stage) but you will be more safe.

[BBH]

okay, I know what you're referring to now.

...but you've still gotta move to dodge rocks sometime :P

[destructor]

...but you've still gotta move to dodge rocks sometime

1 or 2 times for stage in 1/10 sec

[Koza]

You high-scoring-boys ruined the competition. I have lost the wil to play and for doing anything else (all-day hangover does it's thing).

Screw you guys, I'm going home

Except the random prize this week is a really bad 1983 movie about a video arcade.

You'd think des would be inclined to read the announcements a little more closely at this point...

And:

And while destructor's recording is not eligible for "official" GEGOTW consideration, I'd be happy to award him a shirt also as a consolation prize since he was, in fact, the only one to beat my recording. (Which comes as a shock, I only played it a couple of days...must have been a really lucky game.)

Maybe Destructor believed on my description:

GEGOTW - Like Des says: "for T-Shirt"! Lets try the luck!

[destructor]

Hehe, yes, I read TRB description and write the same No T-Shirt in this week.

One correction BBH:

game looks easier on later (from level 10) levels

Change level to 16.
I didn't found 'safe spots' (in first phase of level) in levels 11,12,14,15 then these levels are hardest.

Good luck to all here!

http://www.txlottery.org/online/winmegamillion.cfm

which will determine the winner. The first ball drawn under 51 will be the winning number.

[Weehawk]

Well, the winning number is 13.

Yes, the ploy of playing to 100,000 points and then killing off his extra men payed off. If you can call it that.

And George...you actually have to watch the movie. That'll teach you.

I'll be sure to post a review after I watch the movie. Anybody want to bet on how long it takes for my wife to leave the room after the movie starts?
