Scrobins | 1,712 Moderator · Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I used to love hitting back the manhole covers on the streets of Manhattan! I’ve done better, and I still hope to once I’ve dusted off the ol’ cobwebs. If for no other reason than to win my indifferent cat’s approval. Ah my mistake about the lives: here’s an updated score at the beginning of life 0, cat was indisposed. And in case you were wondering, there’s my console on the left. 243,900 436,300 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estil | 1,237 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Awww, there should be bonus points if you include man's REAL best friend in your high score picture! I don't care if that's not even close to finishing the game or that he forgot to include the console without a cheating device in the pic, that kitty is so adorable I say this contest is over! Give Scrobins the ten thousand dollars! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final death came in the 3rd level BeBop fight. I swear I was much better at this game when I was 10. Hahahaha I'll give it another shot later this week. My good man, next time you submit a score, make sure to end your run when you get to 'life 0' ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say Bealank, you are doing your best to self-quarantine yourself right? You wouldn't want to get captured and have someone win that free trip to anywhere in North America right?

What made it most difficult in that version (the game show) was that from the gumshoe's perspective, the map is upside down!! As if the really tight time crunch (you can maybe make one mistake AT MOST) of getting eight in 45 seconds wasn't bad enough. And if you drew the Africa or Asia map...God (or perhaps Atlas?) help you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit, I did the same thing. Why do we have to play down to one life rather than 0 when the game has a game over screen that shows the final score? Have nothing but respect for both bea and the rules and have no qualms about playing through it again. However, since we changed the rules once and this way seems to make sense, I want to make sure we are keeping that rule before playing through it again. I'm sure I'm missing something as to beas reasoning though. Fully realize she is probably going to explain the reason for 1 rather than 0 and I will only look foolish and start again Edited April 28, 2020 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the heavy shreddin part is a joke. If it isn't, I am DOWN! Beat it for the first time for the NES completion thread lately and think I could no death it with grinding. That game is crazy hard to get good at, but worth it. Once you do its so much fun leaping cliffs and buildings and everything else. Edit: Typically delete all gaming photos pretty quickly, but hung on to one of these. Best/Most random screen ever for beating each level.

I dunno if it's aged well or not. Can see why with the cover art. I would have rented the crap out of it if my store had it. If you pop it in and play for a few minutes, you might think it's aged terribly. If you make yourself get to a point where you can get deep, its such a badass game. Its the only one I've beat for that thread that I've beat a few times more after because I miss playing it.

BeaIank | 1,603 Events Team · Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 @NESfiend By playing till you lose your turtle on r=1, we can see the progress you made into the game in case a tie break proves to be needed. It is also an optimal spot for taking pictures since you have all the time in the world to take yours while the game is waiting for you to pick your next turtle.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 For anyone that beats the game, you need to be quick taking your picture because you can't pause the game after it adds your 100,000 point bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
