The 'hard' mode isn't actually all that much harder, believe it or not. I always used to get stuck on the fifth stage all those years ago but the final stage isn't too bad :)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-38006221275646414402011-11-17T00:57:08.183+00:002011-11-17T00:57:08.183+00:00LOL, yeah!

I`m not actually sure how close to the finish I`ve gone! I just love it when you really start racking up the points when all those bonus things become worth 10,000 each;) Probably the most satisfying feeling in any video game!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-42355560237000438882011-11-15T23:59:42.794+00:002011-11-15T23:59:42.794+00:00Haha, yeah, I always had an Arcade Power Stick for...Haha, yeah, I always had an Arcade Power Stick for my MD so I suppose I took auto fire for granted :P It's a fab game though.

Like you, I`m not so sure why it is so playable, but am confident that it is! I`ve especially come to love it ever since I got my extra controller with the auto fire feature.....oh that does work well with this game!<br /><br />Bryan is right though, the ship is kind of clunky looking. :)Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13681778110046124243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-64594325531298251782011-11-13T20:01:14.724+00:002011-11-13T20:01:14.724+00:00I hope so Bryan! :) I agree, the ship is quite bul...I hope so Bryan! :) I agree, the ship is quite bulky but it didn't cause me any problems really. It's not so big to start with anyway so you could just not collect the power-ups if you want to keep it small. Might make the game a bit trickier though ;)RetroKingSimonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609689348601442117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5455082771543433548.post-47601573751883759442011-11-13T19:54:48.718+00:002011-11-13T19:54:48.718+00:00OK, you'll laugh (or worse) upon hearing this,...OK, you'll laugh (or worse) upon hearing this, I'm sure, but I'm pretty sure the reason I avoided playing this game back in the day is that I didn't like the design of the ship. It looks too big and clunky and kind of ... cheap? I still think that, to tell you the truth, but I *really* like how the rest of it looks. So, I'm going to give it a try thanks to your rather glowing review. Hey, you recently converted me into a Chack'n Pop fan, so who is to say you won't convert me into a Hallfire fan, too? :)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.com
