Carrier AirWing - Full Run on Very Difficult

Yes, it's a shooting game again at long last! Just in time for the 200th video! Woo!

All right so here we have Carrier AirWing, a CPS1 game by Capcom (who else). It is pretty similar to U.N. Squadron (same money/shop/weapon level up systems), but better! Better music and audio, better stage looks and layouts, and more variation than just scrolling in one direction. Also, easier.

So easy, that I bumped enemy strength to max (8 instead of 4) on the DIP switch settings. This means more, faster bullets and tougher large enemies. Your life meter also drains a bit faster. There is another setting called 'player life' that I tried making harder, but then almost EVERY bullet will take your entire life bar. No joke. So I left that at default.

I get 9 perfects :D! I had never managed that before this run.
Also, bonus items: We pick up a star, a rabbit, a kappa, and a tanuki. Two different Mobi-chan. And we spin a cow. That's important =P.

All right, enjoy!
