BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Hello everyone. We're ready for some shooting action this week. This week we revisit a great shmup on the NES, Isolated Warrior. The rules for this week are as follow: Play until you die for the first time One loop only. If you loop the game, take a picture when the game loops back to the beginning. If anyone is suspected of playing beyond the first loop, their score will be disqualified. To get your score, Pause then game as you die. You can't point press the bosses. Highest score wins Participation: 51,000 GENRE: Shooter/Shoot ‘Em Up The contest ends Sunday, 04/23/23 at 11 PM VGS time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid. The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator. Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact you did it in a single take makes it yet more impressive. ..makes me think of the last time you revealed yourself: You were wearing the Tiara and your head was bouncing around quite violently and it had something to do with "shooter champing" and I just kept thinking, "Wow, it really is incredible how much some people really do resemble their Avatar!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I need to adjust the video settings on my tv I couldn’t see the floor in this stage and fell right if the ledge lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 (edited) Also stage 2 and stage 6? Boss can be bullshited for points pretty easy. stage 2 boss cheese can be negated if you hit it with a level 5 bomb right away. stage 6 boss just don’t destroy his projectiles and you won’t rip off cheap points.

docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I enjoy the music in this game, stage 2 particularly sticks. The end credits tune is epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH | 4,903 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Well, I’ve never played this one til tonight. I managed to get to about 60,000. Hopefully I can get to where I can beat the first stage. This is a fun game and I’m enjoying it. So realistically what is the highest possible score in this game? The counter goes up to 9,999,999,999 but There’s no way you can rack up a billion points in an NES game, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would have been something for the NES. Realistically, the max internal score is probably 99,999,999 because if every storable item or hit in the game is factored by 100, then the last two digits of the number are probably dummy number since they never change. Still, doing the work to manage a 32-bit integer feels like overkill to me, but I guess it’s cool if they actually did that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see what’s unsettling about a grown man with wife and kids wearing a tiara and 3 child’s toy wrestling belts, proclaiming victory over a bunch of other grown men at a 30 year old video game. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I’m gonna try to capture a run this week because if you play through with style @JamesRobot @PII you will garner less points than you will on a sloppy run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The foam toy belts are the unsettling part. Do it right and get the $500 replicas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
