When you first run M2's ShotTriggers version of Battle Garegga, you can only use 3 credits per play of the game; that limit gradually increases as you feed in credits and play the game (I've read that using the built-in save states slows the process down). I'd messed around with the game for an hour or so before starting recording and was already up to having 7 credits--and in the course of playing in this session I got the FREE PLAY mode unlocked! : )
On limited credits, with the mighty Golden Bat (ABC version of ship 4), I got to stage 6. And after sleeping on it, I'm not sure this game is going to get me in its grip quite like Gun Frontier, the game that inspired it, did, because the only part that stands out as kinda nifty is the part where you're flying over huge airships in stage 3, with that midboss driving along under their wings; other than that, nothing in the stage and enemy designs--though they're all well drawn--particularly sticks out out.
But given how complicated etc this is, and how revered by hard-core players, it's probably one of those games that grows on you the more you play it. Anyhoo now that I have FREE PLAY I can do a quarter-feeding play-through ^ _^, so I'll give that a shot and see how it goes. Probably not as ship 3 and its not-so-hot bomb, though. ; D
