NintendoDieScreaming Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The only one of these games I'm good at is Shinobi, and even then, I'm willing to bet I may be in the bottom half of scores this week. Should start my ninja training now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Ok, I'm not taking the defeat very well I've been playing a marathon trying to overtake the lead and I can't even make it back up to my high. Must've played 200 games. I'm not done trying yet, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoDieScreaming Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'll give you a hint: what I like to do, personally, is not put any gems at all on the far left and far right sides of the screen. I only play in the middle, until I reach the top. Then, when I'm really fucked, I can slam a few down either side, and result in epic explosions.

PressureCooker2600 Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 We'll need a tie-breaker vote, guys. And I might have to start the contest prematurely tonight or early tommorrow because I will be very busy Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I only play in the middle, until I reach the top. Thanks for the tip, I've been trying it but with no real success. I'm going to just have to come to terms with my reactions not being what they used to be. I'm gettin old and slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoDieScreaming Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Ah, Fantasy Zone. At least we're not playing fucking My Hero. I swear, that game is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user42 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I tried Fantasy Zone the other day. It was fun but I couldn't seem to get past the first boss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoDieScreaming Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) TIP: To defeat the first boss, just keep your finger on the fire button, and keep firing at the mouth. It'll change from red to black to blue, to a little black line. Once you've broken that, you're home free. TIP: To defeat the second boss, you must buy two heavy bombs. After you've destroyed each enemy spawner, go to the right bottom of the screen, and drop a bomb. If that doesn't kill it, drop the second one.

PressureCooker2600 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 At least we're not playing fucking My Hero. I swear, that game is impossible. Not THAT impossible. I've gotten rather far into the game years back after playing it and mastering it. I probably couldn't accomplish that feat nowadays, though.

PressureCooker2600 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 From the back of the box: Before you even pick up your control pads, you'll see that this game is from another planet. Amorphic graphics. Day-glow colors. Even spaced-out music. You start out by building your own space ship. Pick out your own engine parts, lasers and defense mechanisms. Then take off for The Fantasy Zone. You'll enter screen after screen of perilous worlds as you try to bring peace to a troubled universe. Challenge: ?? Someone think up of a good one because I never played this one that much. Overall Standings: 1. NintendoDieScreaming +26 2. PressureCooker2600 +22 3. Blackjack +19 4. 8th lutz +16 5. user42 +15 6. LarcenTyler +14 7. Artlover +10 Let's begin. Games end Thursday at 8-9 p.m. CT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 After a couple tries. Got smacked down by the first "boss". 11,500. Anybody got the manual? What are the coins good for? They don't give points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PressureCooker2600 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Share Posted October 25, 2007 You buy upgrades after each level, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't give points. The coins give you cash to buy upgrades for Opa-Opa. To beat the first boss, keep firing at it's mouth. It'll go to black, to blue, to a thin black line, to another shade of blue, then you've beaten it. To beat the second boss, you have to buy Heavy Bomb from the shop and drop them on the three satellites. You can do it with two, but I recommend buying three.

Blackjack Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 (edited) Ok, I'm rockin now 44,300 Here's some tips: Grab the coins, especially the big ones when you kill a monster generator thingy. When you get so many, a sign will come onto the screen that looks like a red stop sign, but says "shop". Pick that up and it takes you to where you can buy ship upgrades. Kill the things that generate the monsters... I think it has something to do with advancing levels.... and use bombs when you can as it seems they do more damage. On leve boss 2, I didn't have to heavy bomb him. He eventually died from gunfire. Edited October 25, 2007 by Blackjack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to kill all the enemy spawners before the boss will appear. Methinks it might be a showdown between you and I again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
