mbd30 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Oh man, I haven't played this in a long time so I'll be a little rusty. I'd like to break at least 200k. Edited August 25, 2019 by mbd30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 81,590. I hate this game with a passion. It might as well be a one life game because if you die anywhere and can't get an axe you're screwed. It's also weird trying to play this one for points rather than just trying to get through the levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 It's not that bad actually you can make it to the next axe! it's just a little bit damn hard in some levels. Not as bad as, say... Nemesis on Game Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Much like Battletoads this game requires a ton of memorization and it's really freaking hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 And like Battletoads it's really not that much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did play (and actually beat) Adventure Island back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh, I guess I didn't think about that. I always thought Rush n Attack was kind of average in the difficulty department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought Rush n Attack was kind of average in the difficulty department. I put in some effort for the contest and I couldn't beat the second level. But I didn't grow up with it and I've never played it much. The one hit deaths and lack of continues add to the difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's all in what kind of games you're used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's all in what kind of games you're used to. It probably isn't harder. Adventure Island has the benefit of infinite continues. Otherwise it would be almost impossible to beat.
