Hello everyone, this is Mami Okumura. I'm sorry that the publication date was a little late due to her poor physical condition. This time I played the continuation of "Sara Manja". This game was released by Konami for arcades in 1986, and is a shooting game with vertical and horizontal scrolling. It's in the "Arcade Classics Anniversary Collection" on Steam and can be purchased for 3,300 yen. It's been a long time since I've been shooting, but I've regained my intuition last time, so this week I'm going to be crispy!

I use MouseComputer's "G-Tune P5-144" to play retro games.The main specifications are equipped with Core i7-10750H, memory 16GB, GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, SSD 512GB, full HD liquid crystal

Since I have cleared 5 sides up to the last time, I will move to the last 6 sides immediately! Of course, there is no save on the way this time as well. Well, there is some kind of musician at the end every time. I started thinking "What is this time ...".

Like last time, I first looked at the reference video, but stopped at about half. The video is long (laughs). Well, I will do it with the momentum that I am good at! The 6th side is a vertically scrolling. I'm used to vertical scrolling, and maybe I like vertical scrolling!

There were 7 "despair points" on page 6, so I will explain them in order. First of all. The first "zone where flames fly". Enemies and bullets are simply falling here, but not only that, but also something like a pink flame mass is approaching from below. I expanded the options and attacked with a laser, but in many cases I was hit by a large amount of bullets.

After doing it many times and looking for a safe place, it was in the lower left. I thought it was right all the time and tried on the right side, but it was the exact opposite (laughs). When I was on the left, the flame stopped at the last minute and didn't hit!

A zone where flames fly.Crushing enemies have also appeared and are in traffic.

The second point is the "continuous big semi-zone". Suddenly, an enemy like a big semi (* editorial note: middle boss) approached while shooting a bullet, but a miracle happened (laugh). It happened that the first place I took was a pinpoint place where I could avoid the attack of the enemy. It was difficult to match it every time, but I broke through here without dying too much. It was saved, albeit just by chance!

Continuous big semi-zone. If it is slightly off, you may hit it, so be careful!

The third point is "a large amount of black pepper heavy rain zone". Here, the enemy shoots a large amount of bullets like black pepper from above. "Peppercorn, were you here too!"

Here, I decided to expand the options horizontally at the bottom of the screen, move left and right, and defeat the enemies who produce black pepper before passing through them.

A large amount of black pepper heavy rain zone. It is important to start the attack early!

The fourth is the "gate zone that gives you an unpleasant feeling." A place like the entrance of a tunnel full of feelings that is gradually approaching the boss. When you enter normally, a lot of bullets fly from the left and right walls, and although it is not very, you can not proceed without hitting.

Thankfully, after receiving advice from the viewers, I decided to expand the options vertically behind my aircraft, go into the center of the tunnel, and go to the top of the screen. Then you can quickly defeat the enemies from the left and right.

However, what I suffered from here was how beautiful it was to enter. I was distracted by the black pepper just before, and I was impatient with "Wow! It's already the entrance!"

She goes to the screen and thinks "OK, perfect!", But if you keep the lever in front, the option will come forward and you will not be able to defeat the enemies from the left and right. I had to try many times here and get used to it.

A gate zone that makes you feel unpleasant. This shape is important!

The fifth is "Rinka & Moai Zone". "Moaii !?". Will you come out here as well !? This is like what to avoid and what to attack. Moai breaks when you aim at the mouth and disappears when you attack the ring, but it comes out so much that your attack can not catch up.

I challenged with various strategies here. The strategy of attacking without moving from the bottom the moment you arrive, or going up and doing the minimum movement and leaving it to the option afterwards. In the end, I was up to the last minute, moved a little and avoided it, moved down and attacked and escaped! A lump of flame appeared here and suddenly flew near my aircraft, so also I was distressed.

Ring and moai zone. No matter how many times I meet this guy, I'm not used to it ...

The sixth is the "Big Marble Zone". Suddenly, a marble like an eyeball (* Editor's note: Las Boss) can move up from the bottom to the front. First wait for the marbles to pass, then shoot the missile next to the eyeballs in the middle. At first, I didn't know that he was coming from behind, so I was immediately killed (laughs).

Big marble zone. I haven't heard that it will come later!

And the last difficulty "mysterious fast-forward pipe zone". Something like a gold pipe starts to close in front of me, and there are gaps in each row that I can pass through without hitting a little. Moreover, scrolling is fast only here!

I thought it would be good to remember the vacant place, but since it is a rule that you can not save, if you remember all the lines, how many times should you reach there without dying?

So again, the viewer's advice! If you haven't died even once by that point, you can use all the remaining aircraft there! It's the hardest to get there without dying. But (laughs).

However, if you find out, execute it immediately! It seems that the position of your own machine is good on the screen, so if you die, you can repeat the above, and if you die, you can repeat the above, and the pipe zone has also passed!

A mysterious fast-forward pipe zone. Remember, I chose to die and clear rather than no mistakes (laughs)

When I thought, "OK, it's the last boss from here!", There wasn't a big boss at the end, and when I got through that, it was already clear (laughs)!

Yeah !? I'm so happy!

6 sides are cleared in about 1 hour and 50 minutes. So, with this, all the "Sara Manja" chestnuts!

ending. When I waited for the last boss, the end roll was played!

It's been a long time since I was shooting, and unlike Gradius, I played at Akekon, but it was fun and I feel like I'm getting better! The first vertical scroll is also fresh, and it's been a long time since I appeared in Gradius. I was always excited to do it!

Thank you very much for your viewing and advice this time as well! Please see again next time!
