    Seems easier than I remember....but I suck at it I figure I paid $80 for this game in 2004 I might you know actually try playing it.

    can you earn infinite credits or are you limited?

    Yes, they are released after you play X amount of hours and learn how to use proper punctuation and grammar.

    How far are you getting, and are you hitting the NORM each level? It is an extremely punishing game.

    Indeed. If you're playing for score Border Down is one of the most brutal shooters in existence.

    I used to beable to reach the first level boss without dying, Not the case now
    I think I reached it on the Yellow border. I can't even scratch Remix mode.

    I would think after clearing G-Darius I'd do better in border down which turns out to not be the case at all.

    I could never get into it, too frustrating for me. But respect to anyone that can beat this game...

    I'm a better shmup player now than I was in 2004. The Ship Patterns aren't as brutal as I rememberd. But I still managed to suck.......

    I may give this a whirl later today. I am not that great at shmups and I know I used to be terrible at Border Down...I hope that after a few months with G-Darius, Shienryu, Shikigami no Shiro 1 and 2, Trigger Heart Exelica, and Chaos Field that I can actually play *decent* (decently_bad lol)

    Ah, I love Border Down - I just suck at it.

    The music is at the same time horrific and terrific. It's so bad it's good.

    I might just play a couple hours tonight if I get out of work alive (the sun is preventing me from taking a nap in the teachers' lounge right now; the forum was the next best thing to keep my mind off the horde of students celebrating "Día de Muertos" downstairs.)

    I love Border Down's music. I actually use it whenever I'm playing a shooter on the 360. :nod:
