Exed Exes (エグゼドエグゼス) 10M pts

Clear/counterstop of this vertical shmup developed and released by Capcom in 1985. I did this run during Calice Cup 9, the game seem pretty experimental with lot of ideas but some of them lead to some frustration, expecially the choice of making your ship slower on vertical movements, in my experience is never a good choice. There's some cameo from previous game like the deadly yashichi from Vulgus or the spinning skull coin from SonSon, also it might be the first game in which appear the capcow (Holstein) but i'm not sure. The game consist in 16 round but after 1st loop you keep repeating stage from 8 to 16 until 10M is reached, at that point game end with a brief congratulation message. Overall the game is pretty hard, especially because of movement speed, and memorization does bring little help, hours of gameplay experience are needed to master the weirdness of this game and to reach 10M pts. Played on Wolfmame 0.264 with two autofire (8,5hz + 30hz). 00:00:00 Title 00:00:09 Round 1 00:03:09 Round 2 00:06:15 Round 3 00:09:17 Round 4 00:13:16 Round 5 00:16:25 Round 6 00:19:52 Round 7 00:23:10 Round 8 00:27:26 Round 9 00:31:25 Round 10 00:35:32 Round 11 00:40:03 Round 12 00:45:43 Round 13 00:50:11 Round 14 00:54:45 Round 15 00:58:59 Round 16 01:10:40 Round 17 (8) 01:14:54 Round 18 (9) 01:18:55 Round 19 (10) 01:23:16 Round 20 (11) 01:27:44 Round 21 (12) 01:33:18 Round 22 (13) 01:37:51 Round 23 (14) 01:42:19 Round 24 (15) 01:46:38 Round 25 (16) 01:58:00 Round 26 (8) 02:02:21 Round 27 (9) 02:06:23 Round 28 (10) 02:10:37 Round 29 (11) 02:15:18 Round 30 (12) 02:20:59 Round 31 (13) 02:25:16 Round 32 (14) 02:28:57 10.000.000 pts
