Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 If Famicom games come back for next season, hopefully Vs. Excitebike is one of the picks. It keeps score just like the arcade version, so there's no need for taking pictures after every track and having to add up the best time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until you meet the final one. How many bosses in the rush have you seen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll know if you hit the last boss. He has a memorable entrance, and comes out swinging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I had the impression you weren't going to post during your time away. Glad you'll still be around. And if that score is your final submission this week, I finally beat Doug!!!!!

It's likely going to take over a million just to make the top 8 this week, so I'm probably going to take my 3 points for posting a score and call it a week.

It took me a handful of tries just to beat the first boss. No delusions of getting top 8, but I'm going to keep playing. It fits my ADD determined preferences. Short and fast paced. Maybe if I can get decent at it and the next shooter will seem easier. Edited June 15, 2020 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I broke a million, I'd probably still be in participation score territory. If I can get another run in, I'd like to get out of last place.

NESfiend | 1,514 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) I can play about two games of this before my thumb hurts too much to keep going.

Yeah, the biggest thing about this game is that both A and B are useful fire buttons, and you're holding them down a lot. B fire (main weapon) has some spots where it's better off holding fire (either for the bomb or just to rack up points), but there's no reason not to be holding down A. It wears on you.

Wow I'm a real dip shit. I didnt realize you could hold down the fire button for the main weapon. Ive been just destroying my thumb mashing. That was really dumb to assume you couldn't just hold it down Edited June 15, 2020 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two were Spriggan and Nexzr Special, both for the PC Engine. On 6/14/2020 at 10:40 AM, Kid Dracula said: I played the hell out of Nexzr when I got my PC Engine Duo a few years ago. Spriggan is also a gem. I have never played Recca despite hearing so many good things about it over the years! This contest also gives me a chance to break this out...wait for it... ive heard good things of nexzr and spriggan. just never a pc engine guy. i dabbled a bit a couple years ago but the $$$$ drove me away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NESfiend | 1,514 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Damn this is a great game. Never knew it existed until this. Has a little gradius effect with the speed beyond the first level. I usually die in bunches. 1,279,977 Edited June 21, 2020 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
