DoDonPachi - Stage 1 Double-Play - No Miss

DoDonPachi stage 1 beaten with no deaths and one bomb on the boss (for more points). I control both ships simultaneously.

Type A Laser used for both ships.

Scoring:
o Max Hit: 65 - 64
o # of bees: 10 (missed 3)
o Boss Hit: 237
o Final score: 1,799,410 - 1,650,290

This is far from an ideal run. Most notably, much higher max hits are possible in this level.

Played on MAME32 v0.95

# of attempts: not very many

No emulator assistance was used.

So it's not that hard to do solo two player on a shmup huh? I should try that for fun with Outzone sometime

Actually, it's a *lot* harder to dodge bullet patterns with 2 players (unless you keep them in the same place ;) because you have to keep alternating your focus from one ship to the other. But on the plus side, you get 2x as many bombs and the levels are much easier because the screen won't fill with enemies :). It's a lot of fun either way, so you should give it a shot!

Y'know what if you could make a movie of your hands, that would be a total thrill :D

Hehehe. Well, if I get a recorder of some kind one day then I'll see what I can do :).

I don't think it'd be that great though o.O . I'm just using a Logitech controller that's like a PS2 controller, with my thumbs on the 2 joysticks and my index and middle fingers on the 4 top buttons.

I've been waiting for 2P Play of Dodonpachi series... but Double Play? That's even better!

[Toneman]

I just tried solo-two player with Toaplan's "Dogyuun" and beat the first 2 stages with no deaths. It was fun as hell too! Can't believe I pulled it off.

Hah, I remember bringing the mame emulator to school and playing this game (two-player) with the kid next to me. Teacher didn't give two shits and we were playing on one keyboard. He kept telling me to spam bombs, but I think it's more fun if you use your skill...

It's never worthwhile bombing for score in this game. Bomb bonus massively exceeds any points you could get.

Put both players' controls on the same gamepad?

[sidekickboi718]

how do u do double play with tha mame program

[ResumeDPosition]

good god, solo-double play is supremely entertaining to watch and play. I tried it once on DDP and ESPGaluda 2, and even though I didn't get very far till I had 1 player left, it was wicked cool.

[Tamanozke]

Wow! You got awesome hand-eye coordination... or whatever that's called. :P I'm jealous!

I tried this with a Logitech PS2 style controller with the game Cyber-Lip (a Metal Slug style game) with one character controlled by D-Pad and the other controlled by the four buttons and... uh... ouch! Yeah it's pretty hard. :P But so much freaking fun!

[Bill307]

Hehe, I told you double-play was fun b^_^d.

That's a curious way of setting up the controls. Do you keep the ships in the same location on the screen?

Also, is there any chance we'll get some gameplay vids of your solo-two player ventures? :)
