The thing to remember with Progear is that alot of the time Stage 4 & 5 are really unfair. Sometimes you can get through OK, other times you'll die about 3 times in quick succession.
btw, I discovered a hidden 1up on Stage 4. You know how to get it?
(Apologies for thread jacking)

This is an events thread, and if you ARE going to hijack it, it had better be about any SFII challenges NOT shmuppet crap :lol:

About halfway through stage 4, there is the huge tank on tracks mid boss (the one that comes in from the right and moves slowly towards you and then up) shooting swirly bullets at you. Destroy that, then two more tanks on tracks come down form the top right (that shoot the straight lines of bullets at you). Destroy the uppermost tank first, then swoop back down and take out the lower tank and the 1up pops out for you to grab (also adds 10,000 to your Jewell counter). It's best to fire a bit at the lower tank first without destroying it, before moving to the upper one. It takes a few goes to perfect it as the lower one moves off the screen pretty quick.
Hope that helps. :)
And now, I propose to get back on topic. :)

Just been onto the phone to my friend Phil Oliver B) :rolleyes:
They are going to do a full press release today on the Retro Ball.
I cannot stress enough how nice the guys at Blitz Games are. They are even giving me money for an advert to put in Retro Fusion. Top chaps!
