fakecortex Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Here's a game I've had since I was a kid, but haven't played in forever. Nor do I remember getting very far. The score goes away too quickly for a pic, so it's honor system here kids. Well, until I beat the default high I guess. 7,000 How about how you clear out a building and leave and then enemies come out. Hey, I cleared you guys out! I also like how when you hit someone with a gun, they go flying and die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I came really close to beating the game. But I only had a couple lives at the final boss and couldn't quite remember the strat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 4 hours ago, fakecortex said: WOW! Nice job!! Thanks! This is the second time I've done a 1cc of this game. The first time was a 2019 NintendoAge contest. For those having trouble, when dealing with multiple tough enemies, try to avoid getting between them. When an enemy is quickly coming at you, move the hell out of the way. You'll get the hang of the enemy patterns and when they're about to attack. Do your best to hold on to the armor and brass knuckles. You might also want to try holding on to the gun and save the bullets for when you need it, but I find that combat is a lot more difficult when carrying the gun. Watch out for knife throwers when you don't have armor. They just walk along and turn around and chuck a knife right at you, and it does a ton of damage. They're not too hard to spot. Also watch out for motorcycles and grenade tossers. They're in the same places every time so just memorize when they're coming and the best path to avoid them. Jump kicking is a useful evasion tactic too. The scuba divers in stage two always pop up behind you. You can see where they're going to appear so just be quick to turn around and punch, or use the backwards punch. If you reach the second boss, just keep jump kicking him. The grenades he throws will always be instant death but armor protects against the gun. If you somehow reach the third boss, just keep punching him as fast as you can. The goal is to knock him off the elevator. If you can make it that far when you're ready to deal with the rest of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Admittedly, I've never been held hostage in a jungle prison camp, so perhaps I'm showing my ignorance here, but I find it hard to believe this was anyone's "magazine pin-up" of choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) 234,000 Better score this time. Killed more enemies. Edited February 16, 2021 by mbd30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd30 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 That's probably it for me. Hopefully that's good enough to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 71,200 I was hoping to be able to reach the end before posting a score, but not sure if that's gonna happen, so I'll post this run in case the day job gets crazy this week and won't let me get back to it. 3rd boss got me on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 220,500 -- game completed! Prison escaped and, for some reason, I got the girl (according to the ending) --- but I'm not sure how she played into all this. I'm also not entirely sure how I defeated the final boss. I was on my last sliver of health, running away, he jumped, landed, and just flopped over -- I was near the opposite side of the screen. He was a big ol' feller, though. Maybe he had a hard time catching me (I was running around like a puss, afraid to go toe-to-toe) and his heart gave out. I accidentally saved over my score screenshot with this. I saw it, cracked up, and hit "print screen" in a panic 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
