#hitexploded Actraiser. Used lots of save states, checked a YouTube video for strategies. Some bosses are quite easy actually, others not so much. Did not have a lot of specials left. Reached the last bos with 1/4 energy, died so I could start the battle with full life. #snes #enix #superfamicom

Been trying to play Actraiser, I remember playing it quite a lot when I was young, but never #hitexploded it. So attempting now. Enjoying the music by @yuzokoshiro.bsky.social. Controls feel a bit off though, but maybe that's coz I am saying on the #miyoo Flip v2. #snes #superfamicom

#hitexploded Neutopia 2, took a bit longer because of life/work. It was a nice playthrough, again not as deep as Zelda, but a fun play anyways. Bosses are nice (look and design as well as gameplay). Used save states (of course). #hudsonsoft #pcengine

Defeated Dirth! Dirth? Dirth Vader? Finally #hitexploded Neutopia, now to play the sequel. Hopefully it has a fan-translation? Definately not as polished as Zelda on SNES, but still a nice playthrough, not very difficult. Just right for a me now. #pcengine #hudsonsoft

#hitexploded Salamander. Didn't take too long (had a save-state at Stage 4 from previously). It felt a bit weird, finishing the game without having to beat some big final boss, got something else and nice instead though. Changing horizontal and vertical levels is nice and good music. #gradius #shmup

#hitexploded Hyper Dyne Side Arms. Fun #shmup, stages are OK (hate the snake!), but the bosses are boring repeats. Only 3 different bosses and 2 keep coming back with slight differences. Would have been nice to see a bit more variation there. #pcengine #capcom

#hitexploded Musha Aleste for #megadrive. Good game, but personally graphics style the moving old Japanese houses are not my thing and music-wise I prefer more spacey music. Colours are really nice for a MD game. Haven't played many MD shmups, but I feel like there must be better ones than this.

Done deal! #hitexploded Bomber Man on #famicom. Beat all 50 levels, got the end screen and then it looped back to stage 1. End screen message says "See you again in Lode Runner", so Lode Runner came after and #bomberman was a cameo. Fired up Lode Runner to check. #hudsonsoft

G'AIME On! Let my daughter and her friend play for a bit. They liked Steel Gunner 1 best and #hitexploded it. I hit-exploded Time Crisis. A bit too easy with infinite coins/continues. AI camera guns work, but the aim felt sloppy at times, but maybe I need to calibrate it better. #lightgun #namco

#hitexploded Mr.Drilller Encore (Drill land in the West) on Switch. Seems exactly the same as the GameCube version. Anyone else played this? What are your World Tour scores? #mrdriller #namco

#hitexploded it (with save states). There were 50 levels, and bosses each 10 levels. Bosses were easier than Bubble Bobble ones, but the normal enemies could be more tricky. Saved the fairy/princess and a message saying the king is missing and we need to find the password room... #taito #pcengine

#hitexploded this yesterday. Used the whirlwind magic on the final both, 1st and 2nd incarnation. With unlimited magic it was not difficult. Released 1st in arcades (1989), ported to #pcengine in 1990. Sequel to Valkyrie no Bouken (1986) for Famicom. #namco

#hitexploded Chiki Chiki Machine Mou Race (1991) for the #famicom by #atlus, Wacky Races in the West. Loved watching the cartoon in the morning when I was young, so thought I'd give the game a go, but it turned out to be a platformer with end-bosses. Still fun, not too difficult. Muttley! #nes

Finished H.E.R.O. is Back while in Berat. Used save states, won't be able to get past level 9 or 10 without on a single run. I still have the current hiscore, but it won't be for long as a friend (the Danny) who is mad good at almost any game has started playing now. #hitexploded #albania #c64

Finished! The 6th course was the most difficult for me. The last 3 courses took less tries to finish. Check this game out if you are interested.

Was recommended Miner 2049er when someone saw my Jumpman Jr. post. Had a go at the #c64 version and #hitexploded it. Nice game, some nice puzzles, some hard stages. Used save states at the start of stages and also in 2 of the stages I could not clear. No ending screen though, loops. #retrogaming

#hitexploded Jumpman Junior for #colecovision. Fun game! Nice twists with each level, very playable as well. Highest levels definitely not the most difficult. If you like platform puzzlers, definitely try this one out. I played on "speed 2", 1 was a bit too fast.

Was trying out some #amiga games while visiting my friend. One of those was Another World (Out of This World in NA). Decided to play it ( #snes version) because I never finished it back in them days. So good, game changer at the time. Nice puzzles, great cinematics, must play! #hitexploded

#hitexploded It was a bit more difficult than #choroq 1. You need to finish 1st in all the races in the GP to get the credits screen. In 1 you only needed to have the most points. Still have to unlock some secret shops and but the fastest parts.

#hitexploded Last Resort for #neogeo AES. Used save states at beginning of each stage and throughout on the last 2 stages (4 and 5). Just wish I would have gotten a bit more than just 1 screen of text for "beating" the game. #retrogaming #shmups
