... and a few of mine!
A tribute video to my friend, gabryhyrule007, and another special Tyrian 2000 video. Thanks for your support, dude! This is a challenge for you, and BY you.

Isaac (gabryhyrule007) came up with a challenge for the Fleet level : dodge the "decorative" ships. You know, the giant ships that zoom through the screen at high speed, but can't touch you? Avoid them, as if they were able to hurt you.

This is on Hard mode.

I added my own special touches, however. I've used the F2+F3+F4 Invincibility cheat... to make the challenge harder. If you press these buttons once, your Armour becomes as low as possible, but you become permanently invincible. If you press the buttons again, however, you become vulnerable again, but your Amour stays at 1.
I pressed them twice in succession, basically incinerating my life. I redid that whenever I noticed I accidentally repaired/got an armor bonus.

I purposely avoided Armor Repairs, both the item and the Special Command. I also avoided the Rear Weapon Power Up, because that would've changed the way the Protrons move around me.

Also, I've had some dangerous fun at some points.

The ship's specs are here, for those curious :

Ship : Gencore Maelstrom (not the best one at this point)
Front Weapon : Pulse Cannon Level 11 (max power, but moderate weapon)
Rear Weapon : Protron Cannon Level 5 (highest level where you get a single protective circle of protrons)
Shield : Gencore Solar Shield (moderate power (better than Engage Mode), doesn't need Generator to recharge)
Generator : Advanced Microfusion (2nd best in the game)
Sidekicks : Charge Cannon for Left and Right (small firepower bonus)
Special Weapon : None at first, but I've got the Flare mid-level.


Alright, a big thanks to Isaac, aka gabryhyrule007 once again. Thanks!
And enjoy the video!
