yamatetsu · « **Reply #3 on:** October 06, 2015, 01:12:40 pm »

69,880.

Horrible game, no thanks

yamatetsu · « **Reply #5 on:** October 07, 2015, 01:45:17 pm »

75,680. How about that ? Two games, same score.

mnewt · « **Reply #6 on:** October 07, 2015, 04:02:42 pm »

82,320 - no skill involved

Pure luck that there were three 10k drops

yamatetsu · « **Reply #7 on:** October 07, 2015, 05:48:21 pm »

84,400. Pure skill, of course. No luck involved at all

yamatetsu · « **Reply #8 on:** October 08, 2015, 03:43:35 pm »

90,950.

mnewt · « **Reply #9 on:** October 09, 2015, 06:42:46 am »

86,800

jasonbar · « **Reply #10 on:** October 10, 2015, 03:14:31 pm »

Not bad. Not great, but not bad. The second level is more enjoyable than the first. Still finding the controls challenging (on a laptop keyboard at the moment...).

22,060.

Looks like the last competition: 2 good people neck-and-neck, & me in a distant 3rd. Hooray!

105,170. The scoring system sucks. Reached stage 4 - 71k.

Another game - four 10k crates in stage 1 - 62k at the end of stage 1. Botched the rest of it, of course.

If you don't get those crates, you might as well not bother.

Yep - I hear you. Got 46K yesterday on level 1....and then completely messed it up. There's no correlation between my highest score in this game and how far I get.......It's all about the getting lucky with the crates.

112,500. Check this one : 92,560 at the end of stage 2.

Holy crap, I'm terrible at this with a keyboard!

WakiMiko · « **Reply #15 on:** October 12, 2015, 03:17:20 pm »

So I really dislike this game, but I can't let you have third place for free. You gotta work for it

65,320

Not going to butt heads with the masochists on the first and second place though

yamatetsu · « **Reply #16 on:** October 12, 2015, 04:20:28 pm »

Broke my d-pad on this. Who would have thought that a d-pad on a sturdy 2mm thick piece of plastic could snap right off ? The cheap ---daisies--- at Saitek didn't, apparently. Tried to superglue the two pieces together. That worked for about 2 seconds. "Screw it", I said, and did just that. Pressed the pieces together and put a small screw through the middle of the d-pad. That did it. Now I can go on chasing the crates again.

yamatetsu · « **Reply #17 on:** October 13, 2015, 07:13:35 am »

125,20. The masochist strikes again !

Wow, this game was extraordinarily hard to control. You can't jump, you can't shoot any way but left or right, but the robot arm goes in 8 directions? Yeesh. I always knew I HATED this game on NES but couldn't remember why. Wasn't this one of the few that slipped through Nintendo with nazi imagery?

BGoulette · « **Reply #19 on:** October 13, 2015, 09:51:27 am »

I actually enjoyed the NES version of bionic commando, but yeah, the enemies were ruled by a Hitler-esque whackjob whose face explodes spectacularly when defeated.

1 million bonus for beating the game, then it starts over a at higher difficulty. Had one life left, died a cheap death in stage 2.

Unofficial scoreboard.
