I think I beat level 2 on batman once, maybe? One of those good games I never think to play. I will be lucky to get a halfway to a third place score. I think I've played Batman for about 5 minutes so you've still got me beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I "just don't get 'em", but there's just something about a bunch uncontrolled jackasses doddering around on a field coupled with controls that amount to futile button mashing that I detest. You should try Volleyball. Even I hate that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volley ball seems like something I ought to like at least a little, but I don't really know. If tennis is good Volleyball should be too, right? And the possibility of 4-player doubles could be great fun. Not sure if that exists on Nes or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have been able to do something with it if I had a full week to play, but there's no way I'd get anything decent with limited time. I'm average at best when it comes to shooters so I doubt I would have done much with Macross either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it happened to be a game that was in your wheelhouse, I'm sure you would've come up with the time to play a round or two, but with other obligations, time for practice would definitely be at a premium. Just sucks that you did so bloody well to get there and aren't playing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was something I have burned into my memory like SMB, I probably could have knocked out a decent time with minimal effort. I still would have to learn Macross though, so I wouldn't have been able to give my best effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in my book. Super spike volleyball is pretty damn good on the other hand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, with the progress you and the wizard made, I'd imagine a whole lot of practice time went in this week. Impressive regardless and cool you too can hang out in person and grind competition scores. I'd imagine that is a hell of a lot of fun. Nicely done to you both My previous personal best on Golf was -1, as I considered beating par to be "beating the game." As for this week, my first Golf game was +17, so I shaved off almost thirty strokes and it took me about that many games. I probably put a good 15 hours into that game as it's one you can't really jump into and be proficient - it's almost like you have to build muscle memory for all 18 holes. I'm really glad it has 100% random wind (aside from hole 1) or the game would be super broken. Anyway, barring a crazy last minute change, it looks like we've both punched our ticket to the "get beat by bert" show. I'll be gunning for that silver trophy though, and ready to take gold should the busy father of three suddenly falter...

So it's two games in one. Actually the speedrun part is the bonus points really, if you look at how the scoring goes, we're basically playing Batman one life for distance, with lowest time as the tiebreaker, and Macross's max bonus is one less point than a Batman win...

It looks like bert is going to be the lowest ranked player from the overall leaderboard in the finals so you guys should have it easy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two (the only other NES soccer game I've played) felt much better to control. Goal 2 is almost a hidden gem in my mind. Such a fun game if you give it a little time to figure it out. Ive gone back to it a couple times. Probably my favorite soccer game on the system now, but I like tecmo cup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krunch | 303 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Good games everybody! I just couldnt get the drive for Golf high enough. Needing a -16 score (-15 before @Dr. Morbis's update) was a tall order for sure, I'm glad you came in with that makes me feel better lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
