    It is a pretty decent score.

    Physics on this port is all weird. It is like they used integer math rather than float math for the physics. It just doesn't feel right at all.

    No.  The true shooter champ likes puzzle games too.

    BACK TO BACK. BACK. TO. BACK. 



    Shoot em up. Champ. King. 

    You deserved it this year. Your Isolated Warrior win was tactical genius. Nobody else thought of that strategy.

    Thanks mbd. Vindication for sure   



    bert was lucky to beat me last year. Oooooooohhhhhh!!!



     



    So you died a bunch of times in Isolated Warrior, and I completed Gyruss too quickly to score any points.  Challenge me at any other NES shooter!

     





    You guys should do a one life Silver Surfer contest.

    Made it to over 500K.  This is the best score I've ever had in this game.
  • Great scores so far! I can't wait to see where they end up. Good luck everybody!
  • Yeah, I don't know how people can go so long. The game is so boring, and there are enough random elements, that a slip-up is inevitable.
  • Tier 1 - 948,580

    lol   



    Ooooohhhh sandafloor you're whole name isn't in the picture so I hope your game is still on puase. Technical foul. Looks like you'll have to play it at least once more   
  • Damn, I read page two and three of the palamedes manual...but then I quit. I'll try again tomorrow, probably play it too but I need to clean the cart first.

    That's what I was trying to say, early on. So used to the SMB3 version where you have much more control over your jumping, and don't slide so much. I got used to this version pretty quick, but the first runs were tough.

    I hate the crabs, the green fireballs and the ice.





     
  • Hey! How come tier 3 only has 7 contestants? I know my score is poor at the moment, but maybe having an 8th would have motivated me to knock down another competitor?  



    I am having an issue with the controls of this game. I never did get used to the way the game plays. The edges of the bricks are not well defined, like you can jump through them on the edges. Jumping on top of the POW button for some reason is difficult for me.

    x2

     
  • The original arcade version has icicles in later levels in addition to the slipice. This was omitted in the NES port.



  • Score Updated page 2, hopefully enough to move on because i dunno how many more chances i'll get at it
  • Fml I forgot we played palamedes last year. I didn't put much effort into it but dear god I have no chance getting past round 2. Fuuuuuuuck.

  • Well fuck. That's all for Kobra this year boys and girls. I was going to try and improve my Mario bros. score but there's really no point, I'll just get knocked out next round anyway. *tears from five year old fit I just threw*

    shit, I'm holding less than that. I hope I'm not bumped, really was looking forward to Palamedes, as puzzle games are the only chance I have.

    We both got served with our genre weaknesses in this tournament. You puzzle and me arcade.



    I doubt I'll even make it to round 2 because I can't do Mario Bros. I'm pondering smashing the cart with a hammer in a fit of rage.





     
  • Maybe I'll pop in Palamedes today and see how I do. I still haven't played it.

    If you know the maximum point strategy you might be better off than you think

    Looks like I need to read the rest of that manual. I'm half way through with only 75k so I'm doing something wrong.

    I can't handle palamedes at all, my reaction time is too slow, even clearing multiple lines I have no hope

    What was the level start at Palamedes last year? I have a feeling it will be start at level 5 for tier 1! If it's start at level one I can for sure too the number 1 spot from last year! 

    Just sayin'

    Lol. I got the double ender because I'm not good at arcade genre. I just got lucky this week. 



    Im just gonna start playing palamedes now. Kobra don't quit. I'll give it 100% no matter the outlook. 



    You still got plenty time on Mario bros. keep trying.
