The selections this year definitely seemed to be in your favor. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be Tecmo Bowl. If I had a few days to sit and grind it out, I know I could get a world record. My brothers and I would play tournaments on Tecmo Super Bowl. My two older brothers being the big football fans, had a hard time losing to me. Spent a lot of time with Micro Machines and Ghosts 'n' Goblins back in the day, but never beat Ghosts without continuing a ton of times. Wasn't until the last few years that I realized how easy it is. Was pleasantly surprised with Contra Force. I had never played it due to it's reputation as a terrible Contra wannabe. Zombie Nation was a lot of fun as well. Overall, a pretty solid line up. Don't ever need to play Mario Bros., Caveman Games, or Goal! Two ever again, and the beat 'em ups weren't too bad this year. Not too bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot of fun and unique on the NES. I don't need to ever play Alien Syndrome again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't played Alien Syndrome before. I know some struggled with some of the enemies, but once I understood how they attacked, it was just a matter of moving so that you weren't killed before you had a chance to dodge. I really don't care for Gyruss. I have been strengthening my hands for the last few years, so the cramping wasn't as bad, but it still just hurts my hands too much. Reminds me, I need to go back and see how high of a score I can get on Double Dribble now. That leaves Bubble Bobble. Played through many times with a buddy of mine that I still am in contact with today. Probably my favorite of the three. Oh, but then there's Circus Charlie. Several years ago, I got my first NES multi cart. Of course I went right for Circus Charlie first. What a wonderful game. Simply a gem. I ordered up a cart on AlliExpress shortly after playing it again. Probably my all time favorite game, ever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a consistent strat for avoiding stage 4 enemies and projectiles but it was beyond me. I'm impressed by everyone who could no death it. It seems like just beating Alien Syndrome would be really easy due to how many extra lives you get. Edited December 8, 2020 by mbd39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus Charlie was one of the several games that came with the multicart I got back in 1989 a few months after I got my Phantom System. It is such a delightful game, so fun, so simple. When I went to pick a game to go alongside Bubble Bobble for the grand finals, I KNEW it had to be it. It will be appearing in the contest in the future again. It is too good of a game for it not to.

But I skipped it because i was focusing on the tournament. What an odd coincidence considering this is such a random game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be incorporating more Famicom games that can be easily found in multicarts in the contest in the future. There are tons of simple gems that work real good for high score contest among them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaia Gensouki | 1,067 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hm, I've never played Bubble Bobble before, so trying to get a good highscore within a week is going to be rough. Also, the game seems to be awfully long. Circus Charlie is quite interesting and easy to get into, but hard to master. I tend to always mess up in stage 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil World comes to mind. I prefer Famicom Yie Ar Kung Fu to Karate Champ. But it has to be the later ROM version because the earlier ROM lets you stun lock opponents with jump kicks. Not sure if this issue would keep it out of the contests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
