High Score Competition #19 - Rolling Thunder
jasonbar:
Played 5 games last night. Best I could do was 53k. Won't bother with a snap, b/c I'm sure that won't last long!
It sure seems as if Namco concentrated on style & graphics more than gameplay. It seems awkward to not be able to shoot while jumping in the air, & using a 4-way joystick makes it hard to change directions while you're crouching. :soapbox:
What's the downside of running out of bullets? When I did, they kept getting replenished as I used my last one, and at a rate fast enough to keep shooting the bad guys. I don't see a bonus for having bullets remaining at the end of a level.
What almost kills this game for me is the jump from catwalk to another on level 2, just after ascending a pile of boxes. I miss that about 5 times out of 6, so most of my games end there. :badmood: I did get far past that spot once & died when 3 ninjas materialized on top of me. Then the game put me back to 3 inches before that darn catwalk jump for my next guy. That's just mean. :badmood: Oddly, on that game where I got the farthest, my score was much lower than my other attempts, so I think the points are to be had from the time bonus not from killing guys...

Like Shinobi, it's a very pattern based game. Enemies always appear in the same spots, provided you play the same way. Having finished the game back in the 80's, the patterns all come back to memory while playing... like riding a bike. Hence my recusal from participating in this one. ;)
To turn while ducking you have to be shooting.

Ahhh, need to get my cab running again so I can participate in these! :'(

Wow, I made that up for competition #14. I wonder if it will ever get used.

That must've been MSsuck....I mean pac-man speed hack, hence I didn't notice. Not that I care, I guess. The succeeding comp won't wait for it, so whatever.
