Hi,
In MAME, in the pretty straight-forward side-scrolling arcade-game SHMUP 'Blazing Star' (blazstar) (1998) (Yumekobo), there is a behavior that I fully expect to be a bug in the original game, but am curious to know if anyone knows enough about it to either confirm or deny it.
Throughout each level, you get the opportunity to grab/collect all the individual letters of the word L-U-C-K-Y, for greater glory. When collecting each individual letter, the game displays 'collect all panels', and the idea is that once you have collected all letters, it would display 'collected all panels'. However, it often happens to me that the text 'collected all panels' already displays when you only have grabbed one or two letters of the word 'lucky', but not all. (the difference being that the game states that you actually have collected all of the letters, when you actually have not).
Is there anyone who knows enough about this to state if this was a bug of the original game, or whether it might be a bug in the emulation ?
Thanks in advance.
--- EDIT --- PS: The game also shows which letters you already collected, which is correct. It it 'just' the phrase 'collected all' that appears, when you actually have not (yet).
