Cybergoth (2 pts) Game Info Original coin-op developed by SNK in 1988, NES conversion released in 1988, also by SNK. Other platforms: None, apparently. Prequels/Sequels/Spinoffs: Also none. Tips Me: horde your bullets. The light green guys, without the knives: just wack them over the head with the gun, don't waste bullets on them. If you are careful you can keep the 2nd gun all the way to the end of the first level. Edited April 17, 2007 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vdub_bobby Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) 22,000 This game is rather frustrating, IMO. My tip: horde your bullets. The light green guys, without the knives: just whack them over the head with the gun, don't waste bullets on them. If you are careful you can keep the 2nd gun all the way to the end of the first level. Edited April 13, 2007 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjchamp3 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 you guys are so lucky I don't have this game. 2006 NES High score Defending Champion. I could fall in the standings, but not for long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdement Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 16,400 That was my first game. I played 2 more times after that and didn't even get through the 1st level. Beginner's luck I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
