Ummon did you die by ways of the Ninja's darts ? If so the way to kill him is after he does his back flip, Go after him right after he lands then he is vulnerable to your bullets  :D

ahh mrclean

you make it sound so easy.  this game is pretty brutal.  I find what helps more than anything else is entering a kind of tantric state to help you track the 5000 things happening on screen at the same time.  especially these insane boss fights.  even knowing the boss's pattern doesn't help you when guys can appear randomly at your sides at any time and end you

I found that trying to directly attack the boss from early on is best, but sort of like isu says, it can be a beast getting clear shots. I got time for another tonight.

ok, i'll wait till midnight, you never know

suggestions for the next round?

I'm thinking:

Rolling Thunder
Kung-fu Master
or
Gladiator

I'd love to do some rotary stick games... but that'd probably put most of you at an unfair advantage.

Speaking of waiting, side note.. im just about to finish my Bubble Bobble project or rather I would have but still waiting on a ton of parts.

isucamper won this competition #12. And shall choose the next game for round #13. Since it's a ghoulish number perhaps splatter house, ghost and ghouls, ghost and goblins hehe not a requirement But Id really like to keep this prize thing going ideally something related to the game, but can simply be NOS Joystick, Buttons etc.

i'll pick a game sometime tomorrow (although I do have a thought for a prize if we do ghosts n goblins or ghouls and ghosts)

if anyone has any other suggestions, post it here

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Congrats isucamper!

Gun.Smoke is a hard game and I completely SUCK at it. I tried to enter this contest, but never came close to achieving a score I'd even consider posting.

Either of the G&G games would definitely up the difficulty level and will cement the fact that I will not be entering. :)

(Edit: Funny, I won the Ghouls 'n Ghosts competition. I guess I didn't like how I sounded above and did something about it.)
