CGQuarterly Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Welcome to round 10 of the 7th season of the Atari Age NES High Score League! This is the last round of the season, so it's time to separate the men from the boys. Battletoads is one of the hardest games on the NES, but it's also one of the best. At this point, asponge just needs to win, place, or show to lock up first place. If he doesn't, bigbee99 can hop over him. Lesser standings are still anyone's game. Since people are busier due to the holidays, I'm just going to let this round go through the whole month of December. Title: Battletoads Developer: Rare Publisher: Tradewest Released: June 1991 (US) Rules: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLxXmnqaJtw Scores so far: Current standings: 1. asponge 38 2. bigbee99 31 3. Austin 27 4. HatefulGravey 24 5. SoulBlazer 18 6. Jibbajaba 13 7. roadrunner 12 8. AlvinKarpis 9 9. LarcenTyler 7 10(t). NightSprinter 3 10(t). classicgamer_27330 3 10(t).

asponge Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Well, I think I got about half of the way through the turbo tunnel. I rented this game once or twice as a kid. I'm not sure that I even got that far. 264,900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Might have to sit this one out, IIRC, the FC Twin I have doesn't like this one (while strangely Battletoads & Double Dragon works fine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 You can always just use emulation. I don't have this game myself. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yeah, I'm trying to avoid emulation at this moment.. Maybe I will make an exception for this game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 97,250 Strange, I can generally make it to Turbo Tunnel without getting a game over. But I still want to know who the @!#$ came up with idea of making this game so *!@$ hard!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 In the tunnel, i don't like those things that shock me. It takes awhile to kill those buggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 How does one get in on this action?...I racked up about 350,000 today on my first game, do I need to take a screenshot or something like that?

Austin Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have an extra day off this weekend so I may have a go at this. It's been a while since I've played this game, but I have the itch to again.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarilovesyou Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Attempt 1: 386,800 Did fine until a level I never have problems with, 3 deaths in the Turbo Tunnel...not even at the end! Then I opted for the Warp in the Ice Level so I can practice on the Snakes. More attempts until Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
