Story mode cleared shortly after removing the Priority Mail Box. Excellent fighter! 9 of 10!

With the help of Allah... Clear #33!! Spriggan clear!

Ceti's right, this game is too easy! Very cool graphics and sound, cool weapon system, but the powerups are probably too plentiful. A nice breather after playing so much Gradius lately! Gradius 1 and 2 don't let you continue in the default settings, while Spriggan lets you continue and gives you more powerups than you could ever need.

With the help of Allah, clear #34! Spriggan 2 clear!! Double post!!

Like the first one, this one was definitely on the easy side. The only real challenge in the whole game was the final boss, who has a couple squirrelly attacks that can be tough to dodge. It has a ton of dialogue for a shooter, which can be turned off to make it feel like more of an old-school shooter. With the dialogue it feels like an interesting hybrid between a pure shooter and an adventure game heavy on the cutscenes.

Damn that is a shitty ending for Shubi3!

I'm not disputing that you did, in fact, clear this game, but... something about that picture looks fake.

I just discovered this thread and I think its a great idea. I don't even own 100 PCE games though, so I might not be able to win the internet.

What's up with the "How many have you cleared?" tagline?  I don't think that was in my original subject title- it's also a slightly false representation of this thread.  This thread is for posting your clears - not just saying how many you've beaten.

Looks like an attempt to make the title more accurate, as 'race is on bitches' could mean lots of things.  It's your thread, though, so change it to something more fitting.

Anticlimactic ending, but when the Hu-Card is that full of awesome I guess you don't have room for an ending.

I am working on Ys Book I&II now, along with Cosmic fantasy 2, Legendary Axe, and Bonk's Revenge. I love Bonk's Revenge, but I hate how I lose all my acquired heart containers when I lose my lives and continue.

I've got two three clears, if you can even count some of them as clears....

Magical Chase on Bumpy
Sapphire on Easy with 9 continues :lol:  (and I was on the last one when I finished....)
Y's 1+2
[Sun 23:29] <Tatsujin> we have hard off, book off, house off, sports off, baby off, clothes off, jerk off, piss off etc

Mathius

About time Ceti! :mrgreen:

Bumpy is the middle setting on Magical Chase, so I'd say that it counts. But, the veterans will have to comment on your Sapphire "clear." :)

For the purposes of our clear contests we usually require clearing games on the default setting as a minimum.... though Ceti and I both cleared Ninja Spirit on both PCE and Arcade modes.

Ceti: Nice work on Air Zonk!! I don't even have that one yet.

Thanks! Yeah, definitely pick that up when you're off your 360 kick. :) It's pretty easy up until the final stage which is pretty gruelling.

As for the clears, yeah, default is what is accepted as a clear, which is usually moderate difficulty. But if you beat Sapphire on easy you should be able to clear it on medium no problemo. :)

Not a bad little run 'n gun. A little too easy, but there were a couple relatively challenging stages of the game.

With the help of Allah.... Clear #35!! Final Lap Twin clear!! Quest and F1 modes!!!!

The quest mode was fun, but pretty easy. The F1 mode is one of the most grueling challenges I have ever undertaken! The key is not letting other cars bump you into the signage, which can happen constantly due to the extremely wonky crash physics! Braking at the start of turns helps immensely!

You know I never realized that Namco made that game.  :-k Or at least published it.

I've started the quest mode. It's a nice break from the fiercely difficult F1 circuit. lol
