What's a high score forum without Gate of Thunder?!

I still haven't beat the damn thing but I'm almost there. I usually try on hard. Devil mode is just too devilish for me at this stage in the game.

I'll give it a shot later on tonight. I'm curious to see some insane scores on this game.

Awesome!!! Looks great!! And I can't wait to see the others.

OK. Here's an old score. Thankfully the CD games save the scores.

I'm thinking this score was on the "hard" difficulty setting because that's what I normally play, but it's been a couple weeks at least and I honestly can't remember. Anyway, doesn't matter as this is just a starter score to get things going.

I'll be getting back into the cockpit of the 'ol Hunting Dog to raise some havoc very shortly. hehe

Oh, and just for the record: I'll be playing on normal mode until I beat the game on one credit unless everybody else is playing on hard and then I may change my mind. If you're playing devil and can beat the game on one credit, power to ya.

Final score: 438,900

You need to modify your first post and start the high score list there, under Aaron's official banner.... Keep modifying it as people post scores.

Thanks for reminding me about that nat.

Keranu · 09/27/2007, 10:11 PM

I think we need to seperate the scores for various difficulties. I found an old score of mine here which is 582,900, but I'm pretty sure that was on the default victory. It wouldn't be fare to compare scores with easier modes thrown in.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do about my Galaga '90 score thread though since the difficulty works differently in that game.

Keranu · 09/28/2007, 09:42 PM

My high score on the default difficulty - 1,642,900. I will edit it into the main post.

I usually either use my real initials (KJM) or sometimes I like to use ELF because the dorkiest person I ever met use to always use that

Me neither! That was one of the default names. QRM is my brother.

Ceti Alpha · 09/28/2007, 11:05 PM

Nice score Keranu!!!

Did you beat the game? Just curious.

Keranu · 09/28/2007, 11:55 PM

Thanks. That was an old score saved on my Duo and it was probably from beating it. I can usually beat the game dying once or twice.

Ceti Alpha · 09/29/2007, 01:08 AM

QuoteThat was an old score saved on my Duo and it was probably from beating it. I can usually beat the game dying once or twice.

I have some work to do on that game then.

That's really good. I can get pretty far, but I haven't quite been able to beat yet though. I love the game though. Definitely one of the best shooters evaar. hehe. But I'm just preachin' to the choir on this board.

Keranu · 09/29/2007, 01:50 AM

It's a pretty easy game and I suck at shooters

. The hardest part is the underground stretch in stage 6, which you have to make sure not to lose your shield on and keep a concentrated mind!

I always get hung up there. I consider myself a good shooter player (hey, I've beaten Deep Blue!) but I just haven't invested enough time into Gate of Thunder. Stage 5 (Crown) is my favorite stage anyway so after I'm past that I kind of lose interest.

Keranu · 09/29/2007, 02:23 AM

Stage 5 is my favorite too! But really though, Stage 5 -7 are the best stages in the game!

Stage 5 is awesome.

I've only made it to stage 6, where the music is awesome. I honestly haven't sat down and gave that game the proper attention it deserves. I've been too busy either playing DE or Nexzr Special.

Ceti Alpha · 11/06/2007, 11:55 AM

I can now get to the final boss. I just have to get there with enough men to survive. I only have about 2 or 3 when I get there now.

My score is 582,000 or something right now, but I'll just post my score after beating the boss. I assume the final boss is worth some hefty points.

Arjak · 12/19/2007, 07:15 PM

AAARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

Not only did I not take a picture of it, but my score sucks!

285,000 is my current max.

It was the best game of GoT that I've played yet.

For those of you that can't beat the game, don't feel too bad. This was the first time I've been past the second level!

Hehe. Don't feel too bad. I haven't beat the game yet either, but I'm getting pretty close.

Congratulations on the high score, but you might want to resize that screen shot (2272x1704 is a tad large for us mere mortals).

nat · 12/20/2007, 04:10 PM

No shit. Jesus, I can count the fucking pixels.

Joe Redifer · 12/20/2007, 04:24 PM

Dude, can you please make that screen shot bigger? I can't read it from 1 mile away and I need to be able to see it from at least that distance. Also the image is only 1.7 MB and it needs to be at least 20 MB k thanx.

shubibiman · 12/20/2007, 04:25 PM

Oups! Sorry guies, I made a mistake while uploading my screenshot

Edit : is that ok, now?

Sinistron · 12/20/2007, 04:34 PM

I've gotten to the final boss and beaten his first incarnation- alas from then on I catch a whupping. I have no high score to offer however so I should probably just shut the fuck up.

Much better, but remember to disable the flash next time. Picky sumbitch, ain't I?

Ceti Alpha · 12/20/2007, 05:20 PM

Gratz on the highscore.

QuoteMuch better, but remember to disable the flash next time. Picky sumbitch, ain't I?

hehe.

I also bring it into Photoshop and lower the levels. It removes most of the glare.

rag-time4 · 04/08/2009, 12:34 AM

Bested my previous high score, but haven't been able to beat it without continuing! I assume that's how the leaders are racking up so many points...

New score: 526,000

I'm a bonehead.

I just realized that I posted in here thinking it was a LORDS OF THUNDER thread.

I actually haven't played much of Gate and I didn't get to the final stage.

Ceti Alpha · 08/07/2009, 08:06 PM

I'm in the throws of Ghosts 'n Goblins right now and I'm trying to find some tips on how to beat these two end bosses before the final boss (1st loop). Anyway, I came across this Italian site and they have some vids of WOT and LOT so I thought I'd post the link. There are some serious players over on this site. I see one of the GOT vids is a no-miss run on Devil mode.

This site also has a no-miss run of GnG, but that's another story.

haha

Anyway, I'm going to have to check out these two vids. I HAVE to see a no-miss Devil run of GOT. lol

1,727,800 on 1 life. Never died. I swear I found all the extra hidden 1ups as well. I'm kinda baffled that I am still almost 60,000 away from the high score. There's some good players on here. Gotta keep trying!

Nicely done, geise!!!

What mode were you playing on? I put your name in the #3 slot and also made note of your 1-Life clear.

geise · 07/08/2010, 08:45 AM

Oh yeah! Derf! 8B It was just normal mode...for now. It seems no one has tried hard mode yet. Must do that later this week. Man this was the first time I have ever beaten GoT with just one life. I always died only once at the last level for years! I would always choke. It was nice to finally beat it without dying. I also need to get back into Winds/Lords of Thunder to see how I do. There's some very impressive scores over in that section. I might need to practice first, cause it's been a while.
