But I've gotta beat you this week, so I'm gonna keep playing until I get a run with every bonus level for max score... I have yet to get a 1LC in. I came close today and biffed it right at the end of stage 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant find the damn thing to save my life. Havent had enough time to look with a shit week at work. Checked my local shop and no dice. I did, however, get in the shooter spirit and revisited silk worm and checked out star force. Keeping the shooter spirit alive for skinnys fave game week, even if I cant post a score. Probably play some recca tonight and any other shooter anyone suggests that I have access to. Stinger looks cool, ill def pick one up before long What do you think about 1943? That's probably my favorite NES shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much on my list of games I want to get really into and havent. I love the look and feel but Im terrible. I actually played it a little on a late night or two last week. 2nd or 3rd level was as much as I saw. Being crappy at them, I get discouraged pretty quick with shooters. If its not the game for the weekly, i only have a few reset buttons in me before I move onto something else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,272 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 @NESfiend star force is tough! Glovesie and bea made that game their bitch though. They are crazy good. Recca is pretty cool. Stinger is a great game. I think the shoes are my favorite part. Their pattern looks like they are walking lol. @mbd39 1943 is on the top shelf for nes shooters imo. It holds its own and is every bit as good as gradius and life force. And for my $ I’m taking CAPCOM! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for my $ I’m taking CAPCOM! Yeah, star force kicked my ass. All those type of shooters tend to, 1942, 1943, etc. Im better at the gradius style horizontal. I really like playing level 1 and usually 2 on the vertical shooters, but then I quickly get my ass kicked and generally give up quick. I need to pick one to focus on and really put in some effort to get over the first couple level hump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you pick one and focus on finishing it, the skills learned, will translate over to the other shooters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually only has three horizontal levels, and the last one (Stage 7) isn't even really a level, it's more like a victory lap before the ending, so that means there's a section with three vertical stages in a row, including Stage 6, the toughest level in the game...

the_wizard_666 | 1,333 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Fuck, is it really just @Dr. Morbis and @NESfiend this week? Maybe I'll have to give a participation score a whirl to get an "easy" third. "Easy" because I suck at shooters enough to know that there's no guarantee I'll hit the minimum threshold required Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krunch | 303 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) 349,800 Not my genre, but not a bad run. I have a CIB but had never played it, I like it, the bright color palette draws me in more than the standard shooter template does. Not sure if my points slingshotted up somewhere along the line maybe from rescuing that dude on level 1? I was juggling the cloud bonuses a lot too.

It's actually possible to get over half a million points on level one (even more if you were to not go for many power-ups) and then get up to a quarter million on the bonus level alone. Then you'd be starting Stage 2 with roughly 750k... just sayin' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then my son came to show me the rob the robot toy I bought him this afternoon and I was distracted and blew it. Wish I had found flash cart hookups a few days earlier.

NESfiend | 1,560 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Man, I tried like crazy for the last hour to get over a million and maybe nip at pii's score. Three 500k plus level ones and three blowing it acting like a spaz. Finally got good at powering up early and just couldnt execute. This game is friggin awesome playing for score. Im not sure id like it a lot just playing to beat it. Its amazing how many of these games are so much more fun playing for score and no one ever really did. Glad I got into this and really wish I had Monday 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have actually beat @PIIfor once. I think 580k is near max for stage 1 before the bonus stage I started squeezing 800k out of stage 1 with the bonus stage. After playing all week I don’t think the bonus stage is random. The dr cinnamon heads appear after a set number of land enemies/secrets are bombed. i think I could squeeze 4 million out of one loop. I was on a 3.5+ million run an blew it on the sun boss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
