1944

**Mame Offender** · January 1, 2015

Yeah, trying being like me and playing with a game pad. I don't have an arcade cab/control panel so it's all game pad plays for me. My thumb get sooooo sore playing these games.

I dont know if you are aware of this, but 1944 does not require you to "button mash", per se. If you experiment with it, you can technically get away with hitting the shoot button every third or fourth shots and get peak results. Try it!

I find the double tanks are gruesome! I can't see me getting past the 4th or even 5th for that matter.

Anyone who is getting by the fifth board is incredibly talented, im😮.

★Edit★ I can defeat those tanks fairly easily now😉.

Aye, that boss isn't easy. Not even a lot of bombs and charge shots aren't enough to take it down! That score, however....
ExedExes - 2,614,760

Dam you! I knew it wouldn't last though, not with you around Ex, but be assured it ain't over yet - last time i played i got rid of the second to last engine... maybe i should go for the kill but i gotta destroy it all!

Great score man

Cmon, Dazzle!

The challenge is sitting on the table.

The year is 1944. The US is counting on you. Its your move in this intense battle of Midway.

Hells yeah! That's exactly the point.

A tip regarding the charge shot if i may: At first i know it seems useless - it takes a lot to charge and for what seems like little pay-off, but it is valuable!

Firstly, it will nearly do the same amount of damage as bomb if used right.

Second - it doesn't need to be charged in one hit! I think i mentioned this before somewhere, but it "uncharges" much slower than it charges. So you can charge it in bursts, keeping it topped up until the right moment Done correctly, you can safely fire it 2-3 times before the stage boss with no trouble at all!

Third and final tip - the charge shot does much, much more damage to ground enemies! That includes sea faring ships/boats. Remember that double tank boss someone mentioned? Charge-Bomb-Charge-Bomb etc, gone in seconds

Cmon, Dazzle!

Oh it ain't over! I promise you that I'm a bit distracted currently but know that i will be back, i'll beat Ex and he'll beat me right back i'm sure

Thanks Darren !! Great tips about using the charge shot !

I worked on this all afternoon to jump one spot! Oh well, I can sense some improvement, little by little.

1944 is soooo much harder than 1943. Less powerups handed out, and enough projectiles to call it a bullet hell shmup. It is a good thing they shrunk the hitbox.

I've made it to that gigantic plane and I kind of play chicken shit by exploding one side of it and just flying around dodging bullets. Once I get the courage to fight him head on, I will be in good shape.

That's what i'm talking bout!

**Mame Offender** · January 20, 2015

I see what you're talking about using the Charge Shot properly, Dazz. Hitting ground enemies a certain way just mashes them!

**Mame Offender** · January 20, 2015

1944 has really grown on me in the last couple of days.

I understand now why it is so important to pick up the gold chunks. You can hang onto them for points or spend them on those side fighters. You get strawberries (double points, double gold count) when you kill certain enemies with the Charge Shot. Also if you blow up the tak in the middle of the bridge on the 4th board, you leave a dragonfly behind which is worth 100k! And if you kill the swarm of planes that give the powerups with the infamous"Charge Shot", you get a bigger powerup!

Im having a lot of fun with this one! What an awesome shooter!

Ps. As long as Team Penis doesnt win the Mame Olympics, we'll be fine!!!

**Mame Offender** · January 20, 2015

Hells yeah!
I know that i will be back, i'll beat Ex and he'll beat me right back i'm sure

K, I just beat you both. Now what?

I know one or both of you will have a 3 mil run!! Just a matter of time.

You're absolutely right. I was a bit in the complain mode

Game #2

I think I busted GC off the official board with this one, and took his 10th place! I actually played this about 3 times before I had a decent run.

Score: 1,069,330

Yeah, we got too many of these shooter games I think. I'm not very good at them at all. It was a fun run though. I only played it a couple of times to get a score. When I find time, I'll definitely come back to play these for a better score. I'm just wanting to get some scores submitted that I never did before.
