First time playing this.  It's not bad.

Never played this one before, pretty rad. I like the ability to hang on the fence and punch guys, and of course, the different robots are awesome. The story in the manual is wild. Where have you been all my life, Shatterhand? ? ??

I'm a first-timer with this one myself.  I don't remember how it ended up on my game list, but it looked intriguing. I was surprised to see it had already been played twice in the HSC, albeit 10+ years ago.  Glad to see you all are having some fun with it so far.

I have played this before but never beat it. Sorry for not participating in Circus Charlie but I was busy with another NES contest on another board. I will be able to play some Shatter Hand.

I'm not quite getting the hang of this one.  Movement, or lack of, on the fences are killing me.   

 

Hopefully I'll have time tonight and/or tomorrow to put some more playtime in and give it a whoopin', but I'll post this score  just in case life gets in the way.

Ah crud, the days got away from me and I forgot to play some more. Fun game tho, would return to. Nice scores all, and congrats @bubufubu

I would've liked to put some more time into this game as well.  On to Mario I guess.  Congrats to both bubufubu and Razzie.P for breaking the AA high score!
