BeaIank | 1,635 Events Team · Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Welcome, welcome. We finally enter the final stage of our 2023 weekly contest. And to start it all, we have The Guardian Legend, which will decide the Shooter genre championship!

No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator.

docile tapeworm | 4,206 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I was hoping for a full run rule but the game runs very long. That said the last stages are awesome! And the last few boss battles are some of the most fun and cool looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area 3 is the 7th stage. The numbering system is weird since the third stage that I was on is actually Area 11. The Areas go 0, 1, 11, 12, 2, 13, 3.
