Nice and clear explanations here. Good stuff! There's a couple more little things that can be done with this trick. I don't think either one is documented on video. One I've never shared at all. 😊

I'm listening 🤣

Excellent video! If you keep making more like this, I might actually start playing some of these games well!

It's so much harder to make time to play games vs restoring them.

@@VHSArcadeVault It’s no secret that I enjoy restoring this machines even more than playing them!

Enemies on the right side dive to the left. Enemies on the left dive to the right. Try to take out one side as they are flying in. That way they won't be able to sandwich you with bombs from both sides. Later on you will want to let the last enemies flying in each stage escape. It will give you more time to get into position for the next group flying in and be able to take out the ones that will fly into the formation. Try to take out the blue ones that loop at the bottom as quick as possible. Bosses leave for last. They loop at the top. When the action gets too intense at first when they start diving out of formation stop firing at them. They will usually give you a break and fly back into formation for a few seconds. If you hit one that is diving another will immediately take it's place slowly shoving you into the corners with bombs pinning you down. Focus on shooting the ones that are not diving if it's heating up. Getting over the stage 31 hump is the key to getting high scores. The challenging stages start to repeat and all the groups that fly in are worth 3,000 points each. Scoring perfects will give you 10,000 points + 15,000 for all five groups shot + thier normal points... So close to 30,000 each challenging stage. Extra ships are earned for 20,000, 70,000 and every 70,000 thereafter. Just a couple of challenging stages is almost an extra ship by itself. No more extra ships after 1,000,000 points. The player 2 side has an extra digit for millions. Practice every day for a month with the cheat and you will find you won't even need it anymore to get rediculously high scores. You can do the no enemy fire trick with just the bottom left one but it will take about twice as long. Didn't know they blocked it in the revision B version. I think it had something to do with bombs freefalling forever off the screen.
