Shmup Scoring Mechanics

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Shmup Scoring Mechanics

Silkworm was the daddy on the Amiga. R-Type and Hybris were also excellent. The reason- gameplay. R-Type and Hybris had excellent weapon upgradability, but I can't remember what Silkworm was like in that department.

No idea on the scoring mechanisms. I wasn't interested in hi-scores. It only interested me if weapon upgrades became available based on score.

I also enjoyed "Better Dead than Alien" although I was probably the only one.
