I figured I'd only have time to play one full game of R-Type Final tonight, so I had better make it count. First, I tried stage FC in score attack mode and beat it one more time. Then I decided I was about as ready as I'd ever be, and played through the entire game, to stage FC.

And I beat it.

Now I can move on to (or go back to) Bydo difficulty. I really wanted to get FC out of the way before I went back to Bydo, because you have to do certain things to reach that stage, and I didn't want to screw them up and have to play several games to meet those conditions again. And when I beat the last difficulty levels for their first time, I figure it'd be best to beat the normal final stage.

For other things: I have a fraction more than 97% of the Bydo lab exposed. It seems only two enemies (the last two on the list) haven't been exposed at all. For the others, I need to earn their descriptions.

I have 23 out of 32 gallery pictures. They're divided into two pages, and I have all of the second page pictures.

I have 45 ships.
