The Dark Prince · Posted: Wed Jun 08, 2005 4:12 am Post subject: LA Games Compo #3: SWIV

Welcome to the third exciting adventure into the land of classic Amiga Gaming. This month, a truly impressive and equally difficult shootemup. For your gaming delectation, and chosen by popular demand, put your hands together for the truly amazing:

A shootemup which just keeps on getting more impressive as you play, gasp in wonder as you:

Wonder how long that first level is going to last for
Realise that the game changes the difficulty depending on how many enemies you shoot
Get slightly worried that the first level is just too huge for words
Notice the rather cool stereo effect of the explosions
Gulp that the first level is still going
Think that the screen cannot possibly handle any more enemies
Wonder how on earth the first level can possibly be that long
Note that there are even more enemies

And yes, I do know that the game is just one continuous level, it was a joke..

So, the 8th of June (a Wednesday) til 29th of June (another Wednesday)...
since when did 3 weeks have 4 Wednesdays in them? Wink

I love that quote on the advert -
'No-one knows what it means but everyone will know when it arrives'

It always amazes me how the first page of a competition thread is about people arguing about the version, arguing about the dates, saying they've never played the game but soon will Smile

It seems there is a law somewhere that states: No scores must be posted on the first thread.

I am here to change your world forever, behold my fairly awful score!

378,020

Hey, I want to play WHDLoad version, and the dates are all wrong! I have never played the game but I remeber I enjoyed playing it!

In other words: I might join in this month - but don't expect amazing scores, I'm old and slow nowadays. Crying or Very sad

Shadowblade, you cheated!! Mad

If you enter that known NCC1701D cheat for unlimited lives, all the hi-score names turn to characters from Star Trek, you know?! Evil or Very Mad

Booooooo!

I didn't even notice!

Maybe the new rule should be you show the hi score table not the end of game screen then? Otherwise we can't check to see this kind of thing!

Anyway here's a new score for me, hardly brilliant but slowly getting better
465,470
