BTW, I bought TMNT3 not too long ago and had a blast beating it. If we ever play that again, I'm ready. TMNT2 would be a fun pick for next season. Only issue is unintentional point pressing with the sewer boss that will factor into the scores. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/338548-season-20-round-15-guerilla-war/#findComment-5095911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 439,900 I would have sworn I played this at some point in the past, but after putting in a bit of time over the past couple of days, I don't think I have. Its a good thing I wasn't able to finish it. I don't think the brass back in Washington would have believed all those hostage accidents were truly accidents. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/338548-season-20-round-15-guerilla-war/#findComment-5096289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Here’s a game that I don’t remember getting (or playing for that matter), but there it was on my shelf...and it’s pretty good! Straight out the gate tho, I went, ooh what’s that *shoots, -500points* ooooh. Unlike our last game, this is definitely one you don’t want to use turbo on. I like running over the enemies in the tank, and that it eventually explodes too, which caught me off guard at first. The different weapons are sweet, and I especially like taking out tanks with grenades. Laying off the trigger in order to rescue the hostages makes this stand out for me. 60,400 I like how player two is DOA ? Also, “see you next play” is just so wholesome, especially for a war game Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/338548-season-20-round-15-guerilla-war/#findComment-5096390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I'd never played this before this week. Much better than Ikari Warriors on the NES. Maybe not as good as Jackal.

Wait till you're in a tank and you get pushed around and straight bullied by a pig. That's the stand out feature for me so far. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/338548-season-20-round-15-guerilla-war/#findComment-5096404 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzie.P Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 728,100 This game gets nuts and I really have to force a slower pace to keep from being overwhelmed. I really like it, though, and am amazed at some of the variety. Like, the mission right before I croaked, you're riding a mine cart while trying to lasso hostages. I was like "well this came out of nowhere..." I think it has the makings of a masterpiece if they had eased up a bit to not be hampered by flicker and slowdown. ☹️ 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/338548-season-20-round-15-guerilla-war/#findComment-5097208 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 346,100 I didn't get far but practicing the first mission over and over reveals some places for big points.

Frozone212 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Honest opinion here: While I love the game for what it is, I have to reject play this one for a very clear reason: At the risk of sounding like a little kid, I want to say that while this game is hard (in a good way), it suffers from way too much screen flicker and slowdown. When I die, I have no idea what killed me or when. I understand that the NES hardware has limits but this game came out in 1989. I can point you to three good NES titles with no slowdown that were released in that period (DuckTales, Shinobi, Batman). in 1989, most NES games were flicker free and had no slowdown so what happened here? I don't know if the team was rushed or something but this much flicker is inexcusable especially since the NES had more RAM then the 2600 and had it's own dedicated video memory so the irony is heavy. (You'd think 2k video ram would help and some games allow more ram). Thank god I don't suffer from Epilepsy Anyway, It's a GREAT game but I can't go for more than 2 levels because of the Technical problems I am forced to sit this one out, again. Edited August 3, 2022 by Frozone212 eyes are burning from flicker Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/338548-season-20-round-15-guerilla-war/#findComment-5099639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wongojack Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I can't get past level 2 without continuing either. I wish the score and lives remaining was on the screen during play. That makes it hard to know where I can rack up points and any extra lives. I honestly don't even know how many lives I get on one credit - need to read the manual.
