Vegas odds on doug posting another score just adjusted to -1150 I'm gonna have to if nobody else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could probably beat my score but In good faith I can’t do it. I can get a lower score. But I for sure did some unintentional point pressing On this run . So my score can only go lower.... so I guess I’m done for the week. only takes about 25 minutes to run through this game BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've beaten it before, but I usually lose at least one life when the screen decides not to scroll when it's supposed to. I'm not sure I'd beat your score even if I finished the game since I usually end up with a score in the 75k range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 3 has those chains that I fell off a few times and had to kill a couple guys that popped up again. Like I said, unintentionally point pressed. I will gladly run through it again when I get home though and update my score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a few games I didnt submit in the 18-20k range. Higher scores were on runs with less progress. You can get into a bind on level 2 where enemies keep respawning because you have to go back to avoid their fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overhead levels seem to both have issues where the screen randomly stops scrolling and you have to back up to get it to move. That's usually what gets me killed.

ninjistar | 517 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I feel it's difficult to get a picture after losing one life. The game seems very slow to pause, then goes into that menu. It's just very clunky. I'll post a score, but it won't be much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to finish in last place this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you would be low score amongst the people who waited to die to post a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it lets you pause during the boss fights which doesn't make it any easier if you lose a life there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you are really done, you wont be doing another run to beat my slightly higher score. Score update on page 4... Edit: if it makes you feel any better, I did get a lot further into the level. Thats the third time I had to hit that transfer. I straight up choked. Edited June 27, 2020 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should probably go ahead and beat the game just in case though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played this morning because I've got people coming over to BBQ this afternoon. Bud light time coming early today. I have a ton of work to catch up on tomorrow before going back Monday, so ill be lucky if I get one or two more runs tomorrow night before closing time. Doubt ill be able to get that deep again. If i hadn't had your score so ingrained in my mind, I may have gone all the way or died 20k sooner. I was getting to 53k or else. Once I got there, I breathed deep, relaxed, and died quick.

The run before that I died on the Level 3 boss and the game wouldn't let me pause it to get a picture so I ended up having to play again. I was hoping to finish it, but it looks like I'm going to be just short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
