cparsley Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Let's start the Feud (oops wrong show) 94,960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 New update 215,780 (still shocked Nintendo of America, who wanted 0% religion visible in any game, still allowed the Star of David to appear in the game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 C'mon, Powerpak!...arrriiiive, already, lol! I've never played this game but have heard lots about it over the years, a Tecmo classic. I was more into Rygar in those days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 You are correct sir, it most definitely is a Tecmo classic (with Tecmo Bowl hehe) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarilovesyou Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) 31,360 I didn't realize this was a puzzle game; never tried it, but there's something cool about it. Tecmo music is always a bonus...I'll keep trying at this one. 2nd attempt: 88,010 Edited March 24, 2012 by atarilovesyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I was never any good at this game... but it's starting to grow on me a little bit... 40,130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 There's something fun about this game for sure, and I'm trying to figure out each level on its own without internet help (youtube vids, that kinda thing). I can imagine it gets pretty stupid hard later on, but I can't get past the fifth level just yet...trying to make sense out of the Japanenglish instruction manual!

asponge Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Finally a score in: 286,750 When is this round officially over? I'd like to try and get another score in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cparsley Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 midnight I assume? How are you maximizing score in the levels your doing, my GDV is higher but score is lower... May have my 2nd runner up this KO season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I didn't pay attention to the score, and level 11 nets the following... 395,190 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asponge Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Well, I took another run at it. I guess I'm just going to have to admit defeat. Congratulations on your high score cparsley. Here's my small improvement: 345,730 I made it to level 11, but I ran out of lives trying to figure out how to beat it. On my last guy I think I solved it, but I ran out of time before I could finish. Stupidly I wasn't paying attention to the time and went for the key before the "time potion." Maybe next time. Fun game though. Good last KO round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I think the key to 11 is make sure u have fireballs left (nailing the shooters makes this way easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
