    Ya, I'm pretty sure this week is going to come down to highest score for the win. 



    ....and it's gonna be close.




    I've never played this one, but it sounds interesting. Maybe I need to pull a Brett Favre comeback again.

    It's a fun shooter with some of the best graphics on the NES.



    It also kind of suffers from Gradius syndrome. You're a beast when powered up and you don't want to lose your powerups.

    What stage have you gotten to? Did you beat stage 4 already?

    I'm still technically retired so my score wouldn't count.

    I doubt I'll have much free time this week, but I'll see if I can work something in.

    Haha! Hilarious!



    This game isn't bad,but to me it plays kind of slow and clunky in the stages where you are walking. It also suffers from slowdown pretty badly when there is a lot going on.

     
  • I love slow down in shooters! It's like I'm neo.
  • At least I already surpassed Brock's prediction, but I couldn't top Bert's current score.

    I'm appreciating this game a lot more now than I did when it just frustrated me and I couldn't make progress. Considering this is the NES and how much is going on some slowdown is inevitable. NES shmups usually have awful slowdown.







     
  • I guess I will have to post a score now that I made to the Nostradumbass list.

    I might have some time tonight and Sunday to give it a spin.
  • Tiny update.

    Ya, I beat stage four   

    Then let's see that score. I want a sneak peak of stage 5.

    Got to the stage 4 boss and made a wrong move and fell. The stage is not too bad,especially since the pits are patterned. image





    Some nice competition this contest. Scores are getting close.

     
  • Yeah,I think we'll have some good scores. Although it has its' flaws,this game is pretty fun.
  • Score update: Beat stage 3 boss without getting hit so got a huge bonus and made it to stage 4 boss. Still not quite enough to beat Bert's score.
  • 311,500



    Not bad seeing that I'm terrible at shooters and I've never played this before.   I'll try to make time to get back to it later this week.  I'll be participation regardless, but it's pretty fun.



  • 346,300



    Very disappointed I missed Wrecking Crew last week but things have been bonkers busy.

    Here's my participation score for the week.

    "Max Maverick" has to be the most depressed commando ever.



  • Skinny was PM'ing me, asking for tips on beating the first boss.  He tries so hard sometimes.

    Lol   



    What is this score for, participation? 

     
  • Another game I'm unimpressed with. Wish I'd had more time for Wrecking Crew, that was a fun game. 
  • Hey Skinny,why don't you post an early score?

    He's got a couple already.  
  • Who will be the first to officially beat stage 4? I've come close a few times, but no dice.

    The shooter champ icon must be brought to its rightful home, here, in the Kobra Kai dojo!!!
