Here's my first entry to kick things off. It's not a very good one but meh!



Update:

Here is a much improved score. I'm using the Dreamcast mouse now with fast sight speed. Using the mouse is a huge improvement over using the regular controller!

I'm planning on participating in this, but I haven't gotten the time. I'll probably post a score over the weekend. I think I'll post my Pywackett Barchetta replay then as well.

Sounds good!

Here's my entry.

Wow! Nice! Looks like I have some work to do! Just out of curiosity, did you use the mouse or the controller?

BTW, I edited the achievements to make them a bit more difficult. You still got 2/3 though. You're just missing the 90% accuracy one.

[Alec1382]

Thanks! I used the mouse.

About the 90% accuracy thing: Is there a minimum score for that one? Otherwise, it seems I could simply shoot a single guy, let my timer count down, and get 100% accuracy.

Well, I don't really have a minimum but I want people to actually be trying to beat their score when they try for the accuracy achievement. So yeah, basically, you're score should be decent. I'm certainly not going to accept it if you're score is 20!

[pcwzrd13]

Just had a fantastic run! What made the big difference is using the right mouse button to zoom out and get to enemies faster. Before I was in scope mode the whole time. I also managed to get the 90% accuracy on the same run!

[Alec1382]

I had a good run too. I found a better technique.

I also scored the 90% achievement on the same run, which I captured in a separate photo from my final score.
