hansolo77 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 This game was selected to be the bonus game because it's one of ExedExes favorites. We like to reward our GOTM winners with the option to provide a game they like to be added to our competition. So enjoy this crazy fun shooter from Taito! PLEASE NOTE - The original ROM (tokio) is unplayable due to the protection not being broken. To that end, a bootleg version (tokiob) is the ROM we will be playing with. In order to play this game though, you need to have both the Parent and the Clone for it work. Thanks! Scramble Formation (スクランブル・フォーメーション Sukuranburu Fōmēshon?) is a vertical scrolling shooter game released by Taito in Japanese arcades in 1986.[1] It was released by Romstar in North American arcades under the name Tokio. In the game, the player controls a red propeller-driven airplane, flying over the city of Tokyo.[2] He's able to shoot and capture other red, smaller planes, which then will follow the player in formation. The player can choose between 3 formations: the first is able to shoot both air-to-air and air-to-ground projectiles, the second only air-to-air (but on a larger area), the third only air-to-ground (but on a larger area as well). During gameplay, the player should react accordingly to the threats and quickly decide which one of the 3 formation types is more adequate at one given moment. The game is divided in areas, depicting key places in Tokyo, such as Shinjuku, Akasaka, and Ginza. There are no clearly defined "levels", but at some points the player is faced by a giant mothership, which can be shot down by hitting its engines. -Quote from Wikipedia (link) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExedExes Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 A fine choice if I do say so myself! Well, because I picked it myself. In addition to playing this in the 80s, this is also available on the first Taito Legends collection, where I got to be a little better at it. As soon as I sent off the pick, I played. Take note, there are no initials here. You'll have to get your screenshot at the Game Over screen. This score as of right now, is my personal best. That says something!

Mame Offender Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I like the concept. A little behind X, but the month is long. 245,600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted August 6, 2016 Author Share Posted August 6, 2016 The month don't count into it. This is a Bonus game. It's just an extra game to play. No rewards at the end of the month. But if you're good, it'll boost your overall score. Updated OP, DB, RSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mame Offender Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I will have to give it a few tries to beat over 300k. I noticed that if you destroy 4 or more ground targets they give you large rewards. Get 4 at once and you get 8000, get 5 and get 16000. 6 would be awfully tough to achieve, but not impossible I bet. I didn't care for this one initially. But man has it grown on me. It has that Terra Cresta feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExedExes Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Out of my shmup attempts tonight, playing 1941 here (NO IMPROVEMENT, NO WORRIES) and Progear elsewhere, I thought to return to this so I could RAISE THE ROOF!

ExedExes - 340,200 I think the roof is pretty high already. Gotta keep your place in check though! On 8/8/2016 at 7:42 AM, Mame Offender said: How do you get atop of a raised Roof?

millerbrad Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 88,200. If there's a scoreboard where you enter initials on this game, I'm not sure I'll hit it anytime soon. Luckily, since only the two schmuppernauts have played so far, I can get 80pts by simply farting in the general direction of my MAME cab with this game loaded. The ground targets in this game are mean as hell. Actually, all the enemies are. Seems like most schmup enemies are somewhat less likely to shoot at you when you get really close. These ones seem to go out of their way to shoot when you're too close to dodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 Previous score posters didn't have a screenshot of an initials screen, so I'll take what I can get. Typically we require such a case to have the high score match the achieved score. But since your score is less than that, you're only hurting yourself if you're cheating (which I fully believe you are hahah j/k).
