I failed miserably in one of the objectives from my last post.

Even though I managed to clear Mars Matrix with Mosquito 2 before Christmas, Master of Weapon was a whole different story. When I could finally reach area 5 consistently, the game got so freaking hard that I realized it would take me ages to beat it by playing on the PS2 alone. I had to go to MAME in order to practice decently, and so I did.

Having failed to beat the game before Christmas, during the last week of 2019 I spent some time with my 360 at mommy’s, so my focus shifted to Mamoru-kun wa Norowarete Shimatta and Omega Five.

I grasped the basics of Mamoru-kun relatively fast, and even reached the type A last boss while playing 5 worlds. As for Omega Five, I beat it with all characters on regular Arcade mode, also winning all the achievements. I thought I was done with it, but then I got back home this year and connected the 360 to the Internet, just to be devastated by the high scores on the leaderboards (my HS in Arcade mode was around 4,6 M). After some research I found out the maximum multiplier in Arcade++ is x30 instead of x10. What bugs me is that both modes share the same leaderboard table! It’s stupid, there should be different boards for each one… Now my hands itch for Arcade++ and won’t let me put Omega Five down until I try to conquer it.

Lastly, there’s Rayxanber on the FM Towns Marty. I spent one night with it and got to the 3rd stage. Will get back to the game as soon as one of my other goals is achieved. By the way, I absolutely loved the BGM for the 2nd level!
