DonPedro Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 16,400 I PMed S.BAZ two days ago, reminding him of this, but he hasn't logged in to Atari Age since then. As long as he plays and posts any decent score he should get the season win, because I don't think I can do much better than this. Just can't get the timing for jumps right.

DonPedro Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Managed to beat Green Planet. Act 3 of Red Planet looks like something you need to have fully memorized to get anywhere. 27,400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 19,000 been getting beaten hard today i gave it a shot but this is all I've got in the few hours I had to crack at it. you said it Don, the jumping is a PAIN in this game! I made it a little farther (continuing) a couple years ago when I first played this really challenging but it would be fun to get good at it. I'm sure I would have played a lot if I'd had it back in the day... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 20,700 made it to the boss but wasn't fast enough to get a pic... from what I've seen in the other levels I'm definitely not getting much further than this in time looks like you got it Don, congrats! and thanks for the heads-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonPedro Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks, guys. That was a good season, the highlights for me surely being Recca and Blade Buster - two excellent shoot em ups, not only in NES/FC context, but also looking at the bigger picture of the genre as a whole. Bucky O'Hare was a very good game in a genre I'm not a fan of. The golf game - completely not my cup of tea, but it was undeniably a good one too. Solar Jetman as well. Looking forward to the next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
