only a 6.5mb download, can't try it myself at work but friend says it's a true conversion.

(Posted here intentionally to get you all back invovled in a bit of shmup competition love)

No Giz achieved scores to be entered please - you know who you are

(Must play on default difficulty and start on episode 1)

Score -- Episode -- Max Chain -- Name

You know me, Mr. Holliss. I'm always up for a shmup challenge!

Let's get this ball rolling with a somewhat sub-average score.

1,073,376 - Episode 01 - Silvergun X

[Silvergun X]

I have to say, for a free shmup, this is actually very, very good!

1,607,684 - Episode 01 - Silvergun X

[VR46]

Will give this a good run-out later, prehaps I didn't sell this well to everyone, it has

* Chaining
* Bullet grazing
* Stylish hand-drawn graphics
* Eighteen levels of gameplay
* Five weapon power-up levels
* Devastating smartbomb
* Supports extra mission packs

I big this up aswell.

Gets my seal of approval.



Download it and play, bitches.

I will say one thing though - At the end of every section, it gives your maximum chain.

Could we add that as one of the score fields? Just for fun.

2,650,792 - Episode 2 - Max Chain 24

(Must admit to having played this fair bit on Gizmondo though)

Forgot to state; obviously start from Episode 1 on default difficulty level

[Silvergun X]

3,293,977 - Episode 1 Completed, Died on Episode 2 - Max Chain 36

The music is SUPERB on this.

Edit: 4,007,133 - Episode 2 - Max Chain 61

Can't chain Episode 2 at ALL.

4,633,626 - Episode 2 - Max chain 68

Avoid those power ups
Not loving this on a keyboard must say

[Silvergun X]

Then allow me to recommend a lovely little program called JoyToKey.

Map joystick directions and buttons to certain keys, minimise it, then away you go. I'm using it myself.

thanks for that great application I never knew existed, improved my score very slightly with it
