1CCBBH - 508. Metal Black (1 Credit Clear)
17I didn't originally time this to coincide with the new home port release from Hamster, it just kinda happened. Metal Black's a shmup that has a cult following thanks to its bizarre vibes and Zuntata soundtrack. The game's a wild fever dream, especially on the last stage. That being said... while I certainly don't hate this game, I don't really hold it in as high of a regard as you might expect. I actually find it kinda frustrating to play because of the slow ship that only has one narrow shot type outside of the beam attack. While the trippiness of the game is cool, I just don't enjoy the gameplay that much. At least I stuck with it long enough to learn the 1CC, so I can at least respect it a little more now that I have a better idea of the routing (plus now nobody can hit me with the "Oh you just don't like it because you suck at it" excuse, because I hate that). If this game is your jam though, I ain't gonna hate!

1CCBBH is a stream project in which I'm attempting to clear as many arcade games as possible on 1 credit, without continues. I am currently going through a bunch of games I've cleared before, and eventually will be tackling some new games I haven't gotten a 1CC on yet.
1CCBBH is streamed live every other Monday (bi-weekly) at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern on http://www.twitch.tv/lordbbh
