Season 18 Round 3 of 15 - Contra

Recommended Posts

Up next is one of my personal NES favorites.  This round has both a high score and a low score competition.  Each will be awarded separate season points according to the standard scoring chart below.  Normal rules apply for the HSC.  Just play until you run out of lives.  For the LSC play through just the first level and note your score between levels 1 and 2.  Please indicate if you're posting an HSC or LSC score.  Finally, I'm going to automatically take last place in the HSC with regard to season points.  This is one that I've played a ton so I don't feel right choosing it without some sort of handicap.  I hope you all enjoy.

I had no idea the game maxed out.

Yeah it's one of those big video game accomplishments I've wanted to do.

 

Another one was get over a million points in Kung Fu to roll the score, which I actually did do for the first time recently.

I lost count at some point.  At the pace I was going, I'd guess that it took me around nine or ten loops.

Whew.  That's a lot of Contra.  I'm guessing that took about 2.5 to 3 hours.  You earned that one.  I'll be happy if I can complete the fourth loop.
