PII | 1,884 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 I used to have CIB MILLIPEDE on my relatively small list of NES CIB's to obtain, back when it was cheap. Somehow, I never got around to picking up a copy. the Artwork is Great and I used to play it on the Commodore when I was a wee sprout. But as has already been semi-pointed out people now want stupid money for a cib game the average gamer doesn't care to play, which is kind of sad because it's probably the best "Arcade Style" (single screen/nonscrolling) Shooter out there or at least the best one that I can think of. I like it better than space invaders, galaga, galaxian and all of the many, many galaga/galaxian clones that I've played, threshold, demon attack etc. But then, we aren't average gamers here are we? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,020 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Great contest pick, Bea. Seriously, this was fun. Mashing doesn't seem to make any difference in terms of firing rate so you might as well hold in the button. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NESfiend | 1,515 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thought maybe I had done enough to podium, on a shooter! Should have known @Dr. Morbis would pull a morbis and put up a last minute monster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I’m still curious why the strat of leaving the millipede was ruled point pressing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that an hour ago and it helped. If you can get down to one little piece of the millipede, ESPECIALLY when shit is going slow, you can farm spiders. I didnt get good at it, but it adds up just trying. I wish I had started doing that mid week 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never made it passed the 4th maybe 5th millipede. Defender is the same thing for me. These older arcade shooters crush me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 (edited) Everything thing just seems so chaotic…if it’s not a spider it’s a snail and those damn dragon flies. Wtf. Then by that time the millipede is all over me. Edited April 10, 2023 by docile tapeworm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PII | 1,884 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Nice job Gloves, Morbo & Nesmaster for clearing 100K+! Everyone else, myself included I'm sorely disappointed in. JK Stuff I Learned: #1 Try not to move toward anything unless its to get into position to kill it. #2 It's possible to shoot between two spiders that are touching without hitting either. #3 It's also possible to move the gun (the manual calls it a magic arrow, but I'm just gonna call it the gun) between two spiders that are touching as well. This only happened to me a single time this week, maybe it was a glitch or something Idk... #4 The projectile that comes out of the gun must be fired from the backside of the gun because its possible to shoot things that are right beside the backside of the gun. This happened to me on multiple occasions. #5 The worst thing in the world is having to wonder if something that is directly in front of the gun is going to get shot or walk right into the gun before it gets shot. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I can’t play this game at all lol. I put a decent effort in today and it got me nowhere. I don’t understand this one even the slightest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,771 Administrator · Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I enjoyed my time with the game well enough. It definitely more often than not does indeed feel unfair when death happens, but I've found some gut checks that mitigate that danger. Like, never get stuck in a corner, stuff like that. I ended up playing other games most of the week (been playing Mario all stars on snes), wasn't expecting to land first, so that was a pleasant surprise. Takes a lot of tries, and a ton of patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
