scaryice | 585 Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) Took a few tries, but Crash 'n the Boys is completed. Not too difficult for a 9 pointer. I was considering Hunt for Red October, but I saw BriGuy did it so I switched to Crash instead. Edited June 7, 2020 by scaryice 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one is exempted from the list as redundant because it's World Class Track Meet with a different title screen. The three Power Pad games left on the list are Athletic World, Street Cop, and Super Team Games. Okay. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Gauntlet is done since I suffered through the second one. You guys are troopers for being able to knock off the rest of these games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember in detail, but the controls seemed to be really counterintuitive. I actually really wanted to like that game and didnt. Was the manual or something else real helpful?

BriGuy82 | 765 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I started flight of the intruder. Made it to the 5th mission so far. I've never even completed Top Gun, so we'll see how this goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, you've been taking on some crazy hard games recently. I havent even played or seen this one, but there weren't many 15 pointers on that list. Thanks for showing up when its down to the hardest stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rough at first, but once you know what they are it isn't bad. You also need to buy some items in between events which makes it easier.

Daniel_Doyce | 470 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Orb-3D is done. It's a pretty clever game, actually, but I don't feel a strong need to ever play it again. The last two rounds were really tough, and then maybe the most anti-climactic final boss fight in the NES library? Ok, I'll get back to Ferrari Grand Prix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel_Doyce | 470 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Ferrari Grand Prix Challenge is done. With Bearcat-Doug's Gauntlet win that @scaryice missed, that takes us up to 640. I used TMR's strategy of getting to around 60 points and then tanking the rest of the qualifiers and it just barely worked out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nerdynebraskan | 354 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Congrats to @Daniel_Doyce on scoring clears on consecutive days. That's pretty tough to pull off at this late stage of the competition, especially for first-time completions. But I was a bit confused about @Bearcat-Doug's claim on Gauntlet the other day. It sounded like he had played Gauntlet II, and I don't see how that would count as a playthrough of the first game. I know @scaryice usually does Gauntlet II just because there's a setting where you can stand still long enough that all walls turn into exits, and that feature isn't present in the first game. I don't know what else may be different in the two games, but we don't generally allow someone to claim a clear for playing some other game in the same franchise.

scaryice | 585 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 I think he's saying that because he had already beat Gauntlet II earlier this year, he went ahead and beat the first one as well (which I did miss, thanks DD). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gauntlet II is fairly tedious, so I went ahead and finished Gauntlet next and I guess I forgot to claim it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I can try Tecmo World Wrestling unless someone else wants it. I played a few matches and it's a pretty fun game, but it seems a bit tougher than Pro Wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems tough, but I'll give it a shot. I looked at the games that are left and it's probably the only one left that I'd be able to finish anytime soon.

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hey, @BriGuy82! Are you going to knock out Track & Field II? I'm guessing you can probably handle it based on the contests. I gave it half of an attempt and failed miserably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm done with Flight of the Intruder maybe I'll give it a shot. It's basically an expanded version of the one we played. I like it, I'm just not that good at it. I swear, you must be able to press buttons faster than a turbo controller, so you could probably knock it out easy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
