Aw great.  I knew I should have waited until 11:58 on Monday to post my score.

Level 6 presents a whole new set of challenges, the worst of which is running out of ammo.  I kept getting to the very end of it and I couldn't get through the last set of guys with the pea shooter.  Now that I've got some practice on it, I should be able to get there with a stockpile of ammo and get through it.

Argh, I come back with a record and the field has already moved ahead.

160,340 fwiw

And now a tip to help with the final home-stretch sprint!

You can ramp up more ammo by "reseting" ammo doors. You do this by walking far enough so the door has moved off screen far enough to "reset" it. You then walk back and collect more ammo from it. I don't know if this is a bug or intentional. It does affect your strategy since you're faced with getting more ammo VS less time to complete the level. When playing on a machine with only 120 seconds, you can usually only do this ONCE!

One good spot I remember always going for the extra ammo is on level 1 and 6, at the very end before you take the leap down the "giant stairs" to the warehouse. Walk all the way to the very edge of that first area (green walls) then turn back to the left to the ammo door.

 shhhhhhhh!


I figured that out on level 1

but the time issue in levels 6 makes it hard to do and finish the level
On level 7 I always seem to run out of ammo on the stairs
though still have plenty of time so just need a little more practice and have to go back for the ammo door once I think there's only one at the beginning of the level

Spent the morning playing this just got 183,500 (pic on iphone)
I won't post pic unless I beat the current high score.
This was the only game in the arcade that I was any good at so huge pressure on me
Shame I missed shinobi last time pretty good at that too.
got 194,000 about half an hour ago but my 2 yr old son pressed the credit button 3 times.
He has since been put up for adoption..... (joke)
