That's the one that confuses me since I know I've shot down all of the larger planes, but I still end up with 93% or something. I don't know if you need to hit all of the small planes too or what to get 100%. Looking forward to Palamedes tomorrow? This has been one of the more fun batch of games that I can remember. No awful karate games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually skip puzzle weeks, but I'll probably get a few games in and at least try to beat it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could easily do far better on real hardware, but as it is the score I've put up is the literary best I could possibly do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have time to do many runs when it's a play-till-game-over on a long game, but I'll give it a good two or three runs. Honestly, I think it should've been best score on Stage 1 or something like that, then you could look for secrets and try to really perfect your run without missing any enemies and whatnot; I mean, how long does it take to clear this game without continuing? Is it like hours? Or even getting a decent score in the millions half way through the game - how long will that take? Anyway, like I said, I'll give 'er a couple of runs and see what I get... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full 1cc playthrough is roughly an hour and a half from what I can see. Maybe about an hour and 20 minutes if you're good. The WR is an hour and 16 minutes, although there's only one entry on the leaderboard. There's 24 stages and the game gets decently hard by stage 9 so most players never come close to a 1cc. Even the stage 3 boss gives a lot of people trouble. My run reached stage 13. Edited May 27, 2023 by mbd39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost to bert last time we played. It was a drag playing for low score….it’s such a broken game though. And the gameplay feels cheap. Not like unfair deaths cheap just like quick cash production cheap. Its got a cool theme and nice graphics if nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docile tapeworm | 4,194 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I enjoyed the rule set. I think it’s a contender for best shooter on the console holding its own against the other top shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NESfiend | 1,514 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Dude. Got passed level 3 boss. Improved strategy on power ups. Once you have special weapon timer jacked up, it totally changes the game. Got to level 7. I probably don't get any points this week, but I have always thought this game was really cool, but couldnt get it. I feel like like I get it now and its even better than I thought - great game choice! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,017 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) 1943 is really deep for a shooter because of the powerup system. There are so many different ways to play, depending on how you upgrade and which powerups you use. The shooting action is good too. I love it.

mbd39 | 2,017 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 One thing I do kind of dislike is having to cycle between the different items/weapons. There is a definite benefit to weapon upgrades but the cycling is annoying in the heat of combat and you can accidentally pick up the wrong upgrade. I usually stick to shotgun.

BeaIank | 1,617 Events Team · Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 In hindsight, this could have benefitted from highest score at the end of stage 3, but it is a fun game so I thought it would be good to allow a full run. I won't make this mistake with Legendary Wings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
