mbd39 | 2,024 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I should have put in some more tries because I had a chance this week, but the game is not that fun. I'd rather play Punch-Out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 This is such a great game. I had this as a kid and played it a ton, even though I was terrible at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those rules state “play till game over” Im an idiot. This game is fun. The lucky rooms are like gluttony for a score contest. I can see the complaints about it being slow. There are sections in the giant man's tummy that have no enemies at all and dude moves slow. I still enjoyed getting to know it. Not sure its as easy as people make it out to be. I had family in town, so time was real limited, but extra lives wouldnt help with the obvious gradius effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the lucky stage in level 4 and it didn't boost my score to that. I must have not have killed enough enemies in the levels themselves.

mbd39 | 2,024 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Okay I just didn't kill enough enemies. I'm not too concerned about it anyway, third place is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hidden in the space between two horizontal "bridges." It's easy to remember where it is once you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
