good point, bomb for first stage score, no bomb for overall - sounds like a good plan
i find the third level boss easier than the second, i can't cope with the patterns on red health on the second one as for time played, ive definitely played this more than ikaruga, and the counter on that is up to ~60 hours!
I did a wee strategy on shmups for that boss here;
aarrrggghhh should have done it but lost a silly life on level 4 and on the 1st loop boss did get a new high score though 33'296'510
edit- tried with using a bomb on the stage 1/2 boss and was on about 9m at the end of stage 3, but without using bombs i was up to about 14m at the same point.
This game is so good. This thread convinced me to dig out my Playstation version today, and it brings back good memories. I even made the effort of dumping my LCD (a massive 17" giant) on its side for some TATE goodness.
I wasn't very good at it in the past though, and I'm even worse now. But I managed 1903220 on stage 1 just now (red ship, shot type), which doesn't seem to be so bad...
