Truxton

It's a vertical scroll shooter game and it's an arcade coin muncher scam. The screen is filled with bullets; you have only one HP and a big hit box; your default speed is very slow, but all the upgrades you get reset on death, so you will be stuck in a death loop with a ship unable to evade; you are often attack from below; it's hard to see enemy's projectiles because they are on a lower layer than most of the noise. There are three fire modes — orange spread, green focused fire, and blue electric gun that sticks to the enemies. Which is both not that common and very early in gaming. It is the most amusing one but also in some situations it's sub-optimal and it really does fill the screen with noise hiding enemy's bullets. You can collect upgrade tokens until you get five and your gun is improved. There are three weapon levels including the lowest. On death you lose all the upgrades but no the tokens. You shoot some goons, then several small enemies come, and they are absolutely stupid damage sponges. After you finally finish them the game gives you an achievement because it counts them as bosses. With twenty "bosses" in the game you will see such unsatisfactory fights a lot. There're a very few actual single big bosses with their own patterns. Well, the game is not very exciting. This one is a great release. You can become a sportsmen and train to beat this not very long unfair game created to racket kids' coins on one life. You can insert infinite virtual coins. You can use save-games between the levels. Or you can rewind. There are sufficient display options. There are no stupid baked-in envelopes for the render, and there’s screen rotation option, allowing you to properly play it on your 3//4 vertical screen.

The Gidans have blown up your planet's cargo barge! Go avenge it with this incredibly fun arcade classic!

The frame rate frequently drops below acceptable levels (unstable FPS). This indicates a deficient technical port, failing to deliver a faithful arcade experience. I strongly advise against purchasing this version and I demand a refund for the product.

高校生の時に少しやりました。 なつかしさから思わず購入。 何気に偏差射撃と唐突な分裂弾をザコ敵すら撃ってきます。 やられてから復活後の無敵時間はないので相変わらずエグいです。 同級生がシレッとゲーセンで全クリしてたの覚えてるんですが、彼は一体何を考えていたんでしょうか？

Habe diese Perle von Vertikal Shooter damals schon auf dem Mega Drive geliebt. Wenn ihr solche Shooter mögt dann kauft es :)

About the sound: The sound is the most frequently cited issue I've seen with this game. I don't own the arcade board, but it does sound different than what I'm used to on MAME. Like the emulation of the arcade game's synthesizers are different. I don't think it's bad, just different and not quite as good and perhaps missing some instrument sounds. Watching lets plays from the arcade hardware the sound is annoyingly thin, due to the fact that these games were designed to resonate in an arcade cabinet. The included lowpass filter goes a long way towards making this emulation sound more pleasant to the ear. Set it at around 2.5k order 2. Bottom line: Sound is quite acceptable, for me and it still sounds like Truxton. It also may have been improved with the last patch since the some of the complaints were made. About the difficulty: Another frequent complaint is the difficulty. I can't disagree that the game is very hard. For me though, it's a type of difficulty I find compelling. Even though I'm not super great at this game, it gives me the feeling that I could be if I just practiced harder. Truxton as a game is not perfect. It's not the prettiest or best sounding game around even under the best circumstances, IMO. But it such a legendary SHMUP for a reason. This version plays very smooth and has a lot of modern bells and whistles like leaderboards and practice modes to make it more compelling than just firing up MAME.

難易度は基本高めなのかなとは思いますが、設定で難易度調整もできますしシステムもシンプルで遊びやすいです ステージ結構長めではあるのですが、中ボスがたびたび出てくるのでダレません モニターを縦にして暇を見つけてはこつこつ遊んでるのですが上達しているのが実感できてきて楽しんでます
