As maelwys has discovered, once you get past "the wall on insanity" that is post-bridge level 3, there is some wiggle room for destruction that's not quite as intensely concentrated.
Level 4 is a lot like level 2 - you can get through with judicious use of the knife and occasionally spraying bullets like testosterone from your pores. Once you blow the last ammo crate though, all hell breaks loose. I actually pulled a John Rambo yell at 0 lives left:
You'd get a picture form me of the end screen with like a zillion points about an hour later.
Yeah, I don't mind posting someone doing a play-through as someone can easily look it up anyway. Though I know with your upstanding pedigree you shall not look at such things. I won't even mention a way of accumulating points on the first level which I am sure you've found out about *wink wink*.
Well done Dan, I got lucky with my score as it was my first try of the day and I nearly got the 5th level where as before I hadnt even passed lvl 3. Lvl 4 I was just wondering around aimlessly trying to find the damn ammo crates
I have a video record of my full play through (of the above score) up until about the last minute missing from me in the fourth he level in the high 200's, since my camera decided to be an asshole and shut down automatically (nearly falling off the stool I had it set up on when the lens retracted) since it was out of memory for video. I had to USB the video to the computer before it would even let me take a pic of the score, I know I can beat this game without continuing, but I will leave that to myself for a personal challenge one late night on impulse.
I am plenty proud of this score for this thread, for this time and place in space.
It shall stay.
If youtube can suck down the video before I fall over in a heap of been-awake-too-long froth, I'll post it.
Proof that practice mkes perfect. I find I play game to game to quickly these days but doing these competitions make you try and try at a game over and over again getting better and better like when we were kids and only owned maybe 10 games and rented ones.

How true.. back when we refused to let a game "beat us". These days it's just to easy to verbally abuse a game, flip it off and put it back on the shelf in disgust. As a kid I would feel taunted by a brutal game.. I just knew Megaman, Mike Tyson and Sonic were all laughing at me.. I showed them little bastards..
The older I get, the shittier my game skills get because modern games have made me lazy. That and the fact that there's so much choice in our massive "hoarding" game collections.
These competitions excellent for reconnecting us with what made us great back then.
When our parents had to take us to Kmart every few months for another "Doc's Fix-A-Pad" kit. When turbo controllers weren't shit because our 13yr old thumbs were just as fast (well maybe not).
I ended up losing half of my day because of a simple ride to the UPS store that ended up with me watching over some strange woman's strange children. Nice parenting, lady... go ahead and hand your kids off to a bearded man wearing an Anthrax shirt who you have never met.
That's a long story.
Anyway, I can't compete with that mammoth score by this point. I think I'm going to play The Jungle Book for a bit and then try to complete everything I wanted to get done today in the little time that is left.
I sucked very bad playing this on joystick, back to normal three button, but it was a dirty one I haven't cleaned yet with someone else's hand cheese all over it. Mmmm.. dead other people's flesh mixed with perspiration petrified into solid matter.

No wonder I sucked at it. I never knifed anybody on my runs. I was playing to safe damnit..

Awesome man!!! KaBLOOOOOM!!!!
PS-
I was espousing more of a catharsis than commentary, but I'm glad you got a kick out of it.
When I play action games I am almost totally dependent on a heavy adrenal dump into my bloodstream. Side effect - all gentlemanly adjectives become a four letter word and I get pretty testy and be-scurvy'd.
*does the Wayne's World "We're not worthy" deal at your feet*
Hahaha hell yea! Where do you find these pictures haha.
Dont give up yet gentlemen, the contest doesn't end till 11:59pm NA time. Plus remember my score is invalid considering im hosting this thread,I just have fun playing the games. Everyone still has a chance to win Galaticlints handsome prizes!
I must admit, Cholks ride is pretty badass. I'm sure Zartan and the other Dreadnoks will be out for blood once they sober up and realize he GTA'd their wheels.

I can't watch such things with how my visual memory is and still play fair.

Yeah I almost thought he has to be cheating but he seemed to have the whole game down in the ol' memory bank mixed with a lot of skill.
