Didn't we just play something like this?
Anyway, a non-bad game.
US ROM?
What DIP switch setting for the extra guys?
Disregard scores: played with 2 lives, per original top post.
Played all 5 characters 1x ea., in order from left to right.
Elf: liked him but didn't know the game. Didn't stay on the top 5. 63k or so?
Wizard: blah, no high score, no success
Fighter: much better. 99,100
Cleric: even better! 117,200
Dwarf: even betterer! 127,100.
I don't think the dwarf is truly the best. Probably Fighter or Cleric. Except for the Wizard, my score improved with each game, as I learned how to beat the bosses, what to expect, etc., so I think my scores were more of a function of me knowing what I'm doing rather than the characters being significantly better (but the Wizard was totally lame.).
