NESfiend | 1,515 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Gold medal challenge - ROUGH on the already sore thumbs. I better ice them up @Bearcat-Doug style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackVega | 583 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Which version of Rolling Thunder is acceptable? Also is this going for the highest or lowest score possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 Namco or Tengen are both acceptable as there are no changes between them other than an extra sound chip. And it is progress then highest score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to pick something at least slightly challenging that is also an unanimously acclaimed game for the grand final!

My guess is you had a hard time choosing between this or deathless first level of Ikari Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJimtendo | 1,121 Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Trying to remember where the guys are. Who you need to duck for, where to go up or stay down. Rolling thunder is pretty fun actually. Gonna have to give it a real play through after competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave it a go tonight and it struck me as being really odd that 2-9 is so much shorter and easier than both 2-8 and 2-10, like what is that stage even doing there between those other two? And as for 2-10, holy shit there are some difficult sections... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,020 Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Galaga came in the mail today. I really like this port. I even like the way the enemy formations have choppy Space Invaders style movement rather than the smoother movement of the arcade version.
