darthkur Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 (edited) You are on a mission of the utmost importance. Another nutcase mastermind has got it in his head to take over the universe and it's your job to stop him. Utilizing the experimental BA-1 mini-sub you will navigate the poison sea and infiltrate the eight power bases. As fortune would have it you will need to climb each one in turn to reach the top and then send them crashing into the sea. Each tower is guarded by the evil scientist's mad creations. Either shoot them down or avoid them. In some cases you might even find that an encounter with them can be necessary to your furthering progress. They'll try to knock you down off the towers and into the cold, deadly embrace of the noxious, roiling sea below. But you're the best and calm and collected. These dangers don't concern you in the least. In fact you even find time to go fishing during the crisis. Emulators are fine as is whatever controller you feel the most comfortable with. Screenshots are great but not mandatory. Please do not use any cheat/hack options. These include auto-fire, unlimited lives, invincibility, etc. Settings: Start at Tower One. (Default) Remember that both selector switches on your 7800 console need to be in the right-handed position in order to proceed correctly. Contest ends on: 8-17-09 at 1:00am EST.

darthkur Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 65090 That's a really good score there. Seriously doubt I'll be winning this round. Especially since I haven't been able to get past the half way mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famicommander Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 66,020 Not bad. I don't post my lower-end scores, so that one was probably my 20th or so try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftermac Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 5,660 Unfortunately, this might be the only game I get in. I'm going camping and won't be back until Sunday night. Oh, well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
