But I actually came here to post about Darius and how the first game is a pain to look at and play at the same time.

Well, even separately, that's pretty painful to do... but first game woes.

Ah yes, it is quite painful to play...though the big bosses are great visuals.

The soundtrack, though...that's the best!

I really love it, so I wouldn't call it a bad game per se, but it's a bit archaic and not designed very well (even for its time, when you had other totally playable and good things like the original Gradius and the original R-Type). Getting powered up takes ages, dying makes you lose any power-up progress, and sometimes stuff is just unpredictable. That kind of thing.

I just accidentally tilted my MAME and the game reset.

That's probably my cue to stop playing it.

One thing I really hated about it was when you die, it resets the stage. ...Except if you cheese with 2P

Rest in peace.

You will probably be better equipped for it next time.

At least it gives you a chance earlier on. Once you get to the last stage, no continues. It's a real kick in the gut.

Skype is only Satan when the wrong people bother you

But one wouldn't deal with those kinds in the first place if they have a lick of common sense. Which a lot of people lack

Having that said, I am very content with the 2 people I talk to on skype

wow

I'm flattered :'D

Probably, assuming I don't use savestates.

But I see that there are something like tiers for power ups? Having a power up gauge for shields is so.... not good.

I watched part of a longplay, and I happened to notice the player was overpowered in the first stage, so I think I just died way too much in the beginning.

EDIT: And I just noticed that I was in Zone P, one stage away from Zone Z...

Yup. If you go up a tier, you'll stay on that tier even if you die, which is a godsend. But surviving long enough to get to the last tier of each power up...that's the trick. And yeah, shield is really difficult to get to the third tier. I usually die before I can.

You can get a considerable amount of power in the first stage, it's true. My main strategy is to just stay in the middle-ish of the screen and shoot frantically, so maybe that would help.

Ahhh yes, the kick in the gut. But that's an excellent route you chose. Z has the best final boss, after all.
