    Not sure I'll beat this score. And I take back my comments on this game. I checked out the rest of the this year's lineup and this thing is a gem compared to some of the tripe we're about to play.

    Have you tried Roller Games? Oh my god.

    My first assignment after I joined NA was to play against theese wannabes.



    I was the sole shooter guru.



    I could have easily let the wannabes remain ignorant.



    But I realized the most important thing for me to do was to teach them.



    I defeat the wannabes regularly and try to make them better.



    I've come across some very lame people.



    These wannabe's failures will remain a huanting memory.

  • I know I'm getting fourth, and already packed up the game since I don't want to play it any more. The question is, who is #1? Bert, skinny, or erizisto?



    My money's on.... bert  
  • Last night I made some more attempts to better my score and while fighting the sixth boss I fell off the platform thus killing my run. That's it. I've had enough of this game. I'll settle for fifth or sixth place.

    I did a test run on emulator yesterday and got over 600,000 in Stage 4. I haven't played this one past the first level before.



    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.  



    By all means, do this!     You'll beat me at least!

     





    I've been helping a friend move all week so it doesn't look like I'll get a chance to post anything. Pinball is coming up, so I might have to make a guest appearance then.  



    Sounds good bearcat. You wouldn't have had a chance this week anyway   



     





    You sure do talk a lot of smack for not posting a score until the last second. If your score is so bad ass,then it won't be beaten anyway.

    Skinny....come out and plaaaaay!    
  • Well, I think erizisto is done (very nice score, good to see you back), and skinny ain't got nothin', so yeah, my money is on bert too.  
  • I still going to try one last time today. I am not pleased that I died to that last boss and want REVENGE!

    But I know I am definitely not beating Erizisto score. I don't think I can no death this game.

    Really Bea?  You can walk your way through GNG, but you can't no death this slightly harder than Legendary Wings shooter?  Come on, you've got at least 2nd place!

    I had years of training in Ghosts 'n Goblins, and it is a much slower paced game, just like Paperboy is.

    The fight with the last boss requires some precise jumping while avoiding his shots, so I am not sure I can learn and beat him without dying at least once in the timespan we have left.  



    But he will fall.

    I do it all for you guys  

     
  • Update coming later on tonight when I get home from work.



    Tons of great story lines this week.

    Thanks for the welcome, but I wasn't quite done.  



    I pulled off one more improvement.   



    I got the full post-level bonus on almost every level.  The only ones I missed were level 1, where I had 17/24 weapon (are there even enough powerups to get this full in this level?), and level 7, where I got a little sloppy on the boss and lost 3 life.

     
  • To answer your level 1 question, yes

    Sorry, was more hoping you were done. Nice work there!

    After I posted, I remembered people mentioning some bonus areas.  Is that what you're referring to?



    If so, I never found them, so oh well.  
  • I've noticed that any given stage's enemies will randomly produce more/less power ups each run.
  • OK, updated my score a wee bit.

    Managed to kill the final boss, but he killed me once, which screwed up my chances to break the 2 million mark.  

    I suck.



    And that is it for me for today.

    Gotta doll up now. Social life stuff calls me.

    Isolated Warrior is much easier than something like 1943 but still way harder than Legendary Wings.







     
  • Update: I made one last attempt and came within a hair of Brock's score. Oh well. If I hadn't choked and died once on the final boss I would have had over 190k. I did so well up to that point. I can't believe this score will only get me 6th place. The competition has been insane.

     
  • If it makes you feel better I think I've played the game 4 times



    In fact I agree with Bert, this game is easy.  I think I got the final boss on the first and only try I had.

    You beat the game and you only played it four times? That's impressive.



     
  • Sorry, five tries



    First try made it to the level 3 boss

    Second, third tries I died to the level 4 boss

    Fourth try I died on level 6

    Fifth try I beat it, can't recall if I died 0 or 1 times on level 7





    Difficulty:



    1 - 1943



















    2 - Gyruss











    3 - Isolated Warrior









    4 - Legendary Wings
  • Which is why I expect skinny and bert to both clear 2,200,000 because they're better at shooters than me and have probably been grinding score for days now
  • I'd actually say playing Legendary Wings for low score is probably harder than this too
  • Holy shit good thing I came home when I did, I forgot about going for participation......Well, truth is I have played it a couple times and passed it just never took a picture.

    Just beating Isolated Warrior isn't too difficult, but still way harder than Legendary Wings, IMO.



    Beating the game for high score (without point racking) involves killing a lot of the enemies during later stages rather than trying to avoid them, getting to every boss with full health as well as fully upgraded weapons and bombs, and defeating each boss without taking any damage. Managing all of that to get a very high score is not easy.

    Try getting under 80K in LW

    I won't dispute that playing Legendary Wings for a very low score is difficult and I know that I can't do it, but so is playing for very high score in Isolated Warrior. Maybe low score LW is a bit tougher. I dunno.
