Ryanw (4 pts) 15. potatohead (1 pts) Game Info Original coin-op released by Namco in 1985, ported to the NES in 1987. Other platforms: None. Sequels/spinoffs: Sky Kid Deluxe (1986 - anyone know how this is different from Sky Kid?) Tips LarcenTyler: Reminder, if you are hit, you aren't out. Hold up and tap the A and B buttons repeatedly! Also, remember that the barrel roll function was there to fulfill a meme before it even became one! OK, seriously, it's not a barrel roll, it's a somersault. And it's there as an evasive tactic. Utilize it! Once you pick up the bomb, though, you can't use the somersault. Edited March 18, 2008 by vdub_bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari5200 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 yeah yeah, best I could do being on my lunch break. What I can't figure out is why I didn't do the NES HSC sooner, my pocket PC does NES emu perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
