In the arcade version, I can get the score above 18k before the timer runs out which awards 2 extra lives. I haven't been able to score that high (before the timer runs out) on the NES version to find out if it works here too. Something about the combination of speed of the car and the timer countdown speed make it very hard to even get close to 18k. It helps if you get a bunch of shoot-able cars in the beginning stage (they do award points btw). Note that at the very beginning before the first van that the small enemy cars (switchblades) and limousines (enforcers) will NOT use their weapons, so you can easily just slow down, get behind and blow them away. since we're not allowed to play the extra lives anyway, I guess it doesn't really make a difference for this contest, but good to know if going for an overall high score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,030 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I bought Journey to Silius and Adventures of Lolo at the used game store today. Paid $50 for both which is about right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasnt that I was mad or anything like that. It just shook us up hard. We were grilled separately, then left in empty interview rooms, grilled again, left again. Then they took me out to where the car was and told me they were going to take the engine out because people put drugs in there. And if they werent there, they would rip up all the upholstery. And they didn't give a shit if they left the car inoperable and had no obligation to put anything back together. It all seemed like hours and hours even though it probably wasn't. It was starting to get dark when we finally pulled out. Some scary shit when you are 20 and just went out for a weekend where you could drink legally. My gf, now wife, drove up with us. Cant remember why but she took a ride back with some other girls. Still grateful for that coincidence. Id still be hearing about it from her Edited September 14, 2023 by NESfiend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also really like the label art with the 8-bit foreground right out of the game over the.... let's call it more traditionally painted background. I've always found it slightly mesmerizing to stare at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,030 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I know Lolo is a hardcore puzzler. I'm looking forward to figuring it out. It's exactly the kind of game that skinny hates! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least until next week since I can basically win the title by posting a score. I wish I could get the win this week, but I know I won't have any time today and probably not tomorrow, so that basically just leaves me Saturday morning and afternoon.

I think that was the season with all of the Famicom games and I didn't have a way to play them at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
