I'm too wimpy to compete with Rambo...I'll see if I can muster the strenght to shank these soliders while getting shot point blank one more time tomorrow.
The soldiers have a different sprite sets when they're just "wandering around" or "actively alerted" and aiming for you in level 2. Other levels it's similar, but you have to judge by how they're moving around whether of not they're knife bait. There is a "I'm traveling to a better location to shoot" AI status, and a "I am actively unloading upon you, knifing me would not be entirely wise" status. Once your reptile brain can see them without you thinking, it become clear who to disembowel, and who to shoot in the brainpan.
In the cardinal directions the knife has a surprisingly long reach, you'd be surprised how far away you can tag someone with it upon some experimentation / practice.
Even the alerted "you shall now die!" guards, if you time it right, you can go around them like a clock hand one way or the other until their reload time perfectly corresponds with you being immediately above, below, right or left of, gore them, then scamper off like a mongoose.
FINALLY... yeah, you bet your sorry asses I use the machine gun at times! It's Rambo for Chrissakes! Shit would be practically impossible without the occasional stop, hold ground, sweep back and forth, proceed.
If you get you footwork down and think forward of how groups are going to pursue you, you can round them up like pac-man ghosts and have the whole gang pretty much eat a bomb for lunch, clearing your 6 o'clock.
Holy guacamole the game is brutal. I had about 10 plays of it and didn't even reach dcdan's 54,580. I was playing it with the X-Arcade Tankstick and think I shall give it another go later as it is a fun game indeed.
I just pulled off a near flawless run on my second attempt tonight- UNTIL I got a bit arrogant and stabby in the fourth level, getting popped almost right out of the gate. Then later, a clever little turd-wad sent a grenade like 3/4 of the way across the whole screen (and over a wall) onto my head while I was charging an arrow. With no hits left I panicked and guys were already closing in on me.
If that nutsack hadn't nailed me with that grenade I bet I could have broke 300,000.
This shall do for now.
(I bet SpaceFlea is sipping cognac from the crown of a human skull waiting till the last day to post his score of 984,216,400. I just.. got that feelin'.... oh wait, just a boner- false alarm.)

Spaceflea is the devil, he will take what's yours as he always does.
Damn. If you ever held a clinic on Rambo III, I would attend. I love this game, but I never claimed to be great at it. Now that I am playing for a high score, I can't seem to do anything right. I'm about to try it with the JAPAN-3. Let's see how I do weilding that sucker.
I will never again bank on my inherited familiarity with a game for the win.
I play like a crazy bastard running at you with a claymore screaming bloody-hell, the more methodical and conniving types of gamers can easily snuff me out with a few dedicated hours.
Remember what happened in the Win Free Shit 2 thread?
I played for many, many hours, and completely fucked my hand up, only to get snuffed by method over madness.
My hand was so raped from that thread, I didn't even bother competing in the following WFS threads because I needed therapy.
Here is what will happen in this thread according to my crystal ball - me being the sword guy of course.
It is almost assured and expected, only a matter of time now.
Jesus this is brutal. I can manage scoring an extra player in the first level almost everytime but I manage to loose it in the 2nd lvl and then get destroyed on the 3rd lvl. The highest ive managed during my gaming today was about 98000.
I keep dying and resetting on the first level. When I get to the second level (my favorite), I become unstoppable. When the third level comes up, I don't stand a chance. I guess I've only gotten further than that in this game is when I had Players set 5.
Also, in the controls, I flipped the machine gun button and the special button. It's a slight improvement... for me, anyway.
It wasn't enough, though, so I had to quit and play something else. I played NHL 98 long enough to realize I don't really like it. Oh well, I still beat those bastard Blackhawks in their own wigwam.
I appreciate you effort in digital murder at any rate!
Keeps the juice loose - and yeah after you cross the bridge in the the third level is it complete and utter pandemonium, no doubt about it.
Oh dcdan? I think I might have found your problem with total domination efforts in the pic you posted-
See here? This?
Stop taking shots of Isopropyl, fool!
Nice hourglass though, everyone should own an hourglass.
That's my game cleaning juice as I clean lots of games I gotta have it close by. That shot glass also holds the screws to the gen as I often fire up the md games in there as well. As for the hourglass I usually time myself how long it takes for my friend to slam a beer after losing a life in back to the future III. lol...Sorry for the bouns clutter as my work station is near by.
Damn. I have just not had the time to place this game enough. I guess I'll have to get up early Saturday morning and give it one last effort. The highest I could get was like 98,080 or something. Bleh.
That's my game cleaning juice as I clean lots of games I gotta have it close by.
Riiight... riiiight.. sort of how when I found that bag of crack rock in your pocket that once when I "mistook it for my pocket" and you proclaimed upon my inquiry that those "weren't your pants."
Then when I found your name written on the inside waistband when I gave you a wedgie for bullshitting, they were then "Fine they're my pants, but I swear to gawd I was walking by some people earlier that I though were smoking cigarettes but it must have been crack and the wind was blowing real hard and some must have flew into my pocket."
Well I couldn't catch galacticfirstbloodlint but I did finally make my goal on about the sixth try tonight. Now I'm off to try and get my score up on NA on the crappy NES Rampage port. ugh.. Thanks for picking an enjoyable game...it was fun.
It's on a lightweight frame, shouldn't stress the wall if you hang it up. Holder piece is chrome, writing on controller is silver metallic.
YES.. that is a mustache (for extra manliness) and it's flying a battle flag of blood red and jet black duct tape that wraps over the sides for a classy look from all angles.
When my score is topped out- and I notice in time to react- I will now play on a Quickshot Conqueror 3
Only manly men could even use the "Rambopad III: Pringles Edition"... I wouldn't be able to wield such a majestic piece and play games on it at the same time.
I tried to put the paint out of the way of button pressing action, and the 'stache is from a sheet of mustache-pattern duct tape and not a crappy label or something out of paper product (I was previously not aware "sheets" of duct tape existed)
I was gonna spatter it in red paint like blood all over the top shell but realized excited and sweaty gama-hands would eventually make this not a good idea.
Guess what I'm gonna do with the 100+ other moustaches that I still have left?
Why cut them all out and stick them all over town wherever I go, of course.
But I guess what I'm getting at here is that the controller should hold up to play and still look good enough to hang back up, I sort of like the idea of the award being functional as well as nifty.
But I am also fullly aware of how alluring the Explorer is and those sticks for the Master SYS click hard and feel great.
It is not for me to decide what the winner wants, but I thought I'd go ahead and provide a pic instead of being all needlessly secretive. You know what I mean.
The RamboPad sure as hell beats the shit out of the RhinoPad.
Seriously though. That is a fine looking controller and I want it for my prize. As soon as I soldier up and win this contest.
I'm off now to Baskin Robbins to fuel up butter pecan ice cream. I may just bring the laptop there and play in the store. Full volume. With red head band.
BOOM! I played for two hours straight this morning, aborted many games. I finally managed to destroy all the ammo crates, and then got PWNED by the mass of dudes that came out.
There's plenty of time left, I also anticipate a late entry that makes us all weep terrified tears of envy when it comes out. I think this is my personal best without spending more hours at it, so this is my final answer.

Those bomb droppers are good knife bait... and I think that's why I keep getting myself in trouble.

It's pretty nifty.
If I win I think I'm gonna pick that one and put it up on the wall to further my own megalomaniacy.
Then I'll take pics so you can all cry, hehe.

Sure Dan. We believe you.
Nothing is over! They drew first blood!
