Right around 110k I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 So the condition for that screen looks like it's beat the hi-score but don't beat the game. Weird.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird.... I also wonder if there's a typo. It says you "saved your country with honor and courage". Wouldn't "served your country" make more sense? I mean, how do you save your country by getting a high score and not finishing the mission? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished the game again, but I somehow missed the landing on Mission 3 even though it looked like everything was right. My score would have been in the same ballpark had I made all of the landings. Edited October 12, 2022 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wont beat it, but that cool white screen seems possible The high score screen is definitely cooler than the plain mission accomplished screen that you get for beating the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bitdontquit | 226 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) I hope you put it down as a yearly completion. Too lazy to check if you did. I will assume u have and no longer care to try. Also just lost power soooooo.. fyi. Been 10 years since i lost power at this property. I'm taking it as a sign Edited October 13, 2022 by 8bitdontquit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking it as a sign I made sure to post it in the beat every NES game thread. I actually don't think this is a bad game and I didn't have a great attempt since I missed landing the plane on Mission 3, but I probably am done with it for the week even though a 100k+ score would look better than what I've got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) @8bitdontquit I got 103k this morning, but I missed the landing after blowing up the space shuttle. I was so mad, I couldn't even get a picture in time. I may have to try again after all. In my 11 years of playing in the contests, I've never finished higher than 2nd in a shooter or puzzle contest. God knows that I'm never going to win a puzzle contest, but this might be my best chance at a shooter win.

Philosoraptor | 468 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) 33,000 on stage 2. Depending on whether I want to play more of it this weekend, this might be it. I've owned Top Gun ever since I was a kid, but I didn't like it much and I wasn't good at it. I'm still not. However, I popped it in and landed on the aircraft carrier last year, which is the first time anyone in my family had done so. My older brother was super excited. I like it more now than I did as a kid, that's for sure. Edited October 14, 2022 by Philosoraptor 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wth some of them I can shoot. I try to fly away from others but they just stay on the screen and hit me. By the time I get to the boats/subs that take two missiles to destroy I only have one life left and never make it through. I’ve probably put a good 4-5 hours in on this stage in the last month and a half and I’m just stuck. F it. Wasn’t meant to be. I have worn the crown twice. Tied once and give you all you can handle without trying . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that you and @8bitdontquit will give me a run for my money. I got a really good attempt in, but I still left some points out there.
