parodius da!

[Quintracker]

This game both amuses me and frustrates me to no end. I can make it to the 'penguin level', the one where you're underwater half the time and most of the enemies are penguins or fish. It's the fish that are pissing me off. There's one part where a swarm (or would that be school?) of them come across the screen, each one unleashing a bullet even if you kill them. Anyone have any tips they can give me on making it past this section?

As this topic has more of a gameplay slant than an exclusive arcade slant, gonna boot this one over to the main VG forum.

Thanks Arcade Antics, wasn't sure which would be more appropriate. :)

do you mean the ones that when they got shot, they split into 3 parts?

If that's the case, you need luck, evasion, and very very quick thinking.

Nope. Geez, I hope I at least posted the right name for the game! LOL Lemme go see if I can't grab a screenshot real quick.

EDIT: Screenshot will come later tonight/tomorrow, I'm having trouble even reaching the place again LOL

is parodius da! the same as parodius?

I can't get pass that part of Level 8 difficulty on the Saturn port, either. I'm guessing if you beat the game, you unlock something as there is 2 bonus tracks in the options menu... My advice if you die (since you start at the fish with no power-ups), you might as well start over and try to get maxed out on power-ups before attempting it again...

yes more info please

I'd try playing the game on the easiest setting if I were you, doesn't sound like it's worth the stress.

found out now. Parodius da! is the japanese title, famicom

[Quintracker]

It's the arcade version I'm playing, should have specified that. In any case, I had another go and took a pic so those of you who don't know what I'm talking about can see.

That little spark near the bottom is me dying LOL I usually take the upper path so I can knock out those penguins and get some powerups, but even then I get overwhelmed.

Be patient, have a bit of luck and a lot of evasion. I had finished the game two times i think...and i don´t have any intention to do it again...

Same sentiments here. I finished it once and vowed never again.

I'm more a fan of Bells and Whistles for the arcade. Wish I had one.
