Haven't done better than my St.5 score, that i posted very early this month.
Even though i totally see, why everyone loves this game, i just can't find a groove with it. I guess the multiple special weapon system, the stage select, shop feature and story sequences is just too much to handle for my simple brains.
I see that it serves the game to have a lot of variation, but it somehow kills the flow (for me).
Anyway, i love the music and the graphics!
Also played 2 or 3 creds on the arcade version and i liked that it's a bit more straight forward but i agree, that the SFC version is the better game.
GG to everyone who cleared the game or came close (and to everyone else).
