fakecortex Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Big increase! Loving it! But by round 9 or 10, the time you have to shoot guys gets much shorter. Then the lives start to go... Panic at the Banko - 391,150 rd 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 538750, round 11 I gotta stop staring at the "radar" so much, I keep getting those surprise redshirts who kick open the door and blast me right after a lady leaves >_< Next extra life at 900000...Idunno about that one... Noticed a weird error in the manual...it says no bonus points are awarded for extra money bags past 36, but that's not true, they're worth 200 points each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashopepper Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 155,850 Turns out the game is a lot more fun when you realize Down is to shoot the left door. Cool game, I also wouldn’t mind finding a boxed copy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was playing the SG-1000 version a bit last night, and it's funny how much closer it is to the arcade. SMS version is still fun to play, but it skimps a lot. I'm guessing they had to get it out under a tight deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 A little bit better. What a fun game. 44,500 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashopepper Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) 603550 Getting pretty good. I’ve made it as far as round 13 and it’s pretty much a shoot anything that moves hellscape. 50 rounds must be a typo or theoretical end to the game.

Asaki Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) I noticed another page of the manual (22) mentions deposited bags being stolen, but I've never seen that happen in the SMS version. 596000, so close...I got trigger happy again >_< I think I broke the game a couple of times. I had one round where there was a guy waiting at door 6 (the last door I needed), and no one else would approach at all. I almost ran the clock all the way out that round. I had another round where someone was at door 8 and it wouldn't open It wasn't a door I needed, it was just interesting. "Dave's not here, man." Or maybe the doorknob fell off.

BydoEmpire Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Got in my bonus game of Wanted. Not a great score, but I haven't had a lot of time. I love the variety in the different rounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stages on horseback are awesome, and those guys that stand are tricky- they're always in my "blind spot" getting covered by my hands haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in this one, though, I couldn't quite get a groove going with this one. It's like my brain refused to accept that I press up or down to shoot left and commit that to reflex, which caused delayed reactions, which caused real panic in the virtual bank, which led to randomly pressing all buttons and hoping for the best. Hopefully though, that "shoot everything that moves" mentality should help me and Rambo in the next round. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it takes some getting used to. Like I said, it could seriously use a Genesis controller hack...or an arcade-accurate Genesis port I recommend checking out the arcade version, it's one of my favorites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ramp up with robbers seemed pretty impossible at that point. I would like to see what it would play like at 50hz because I was definitely at the limits of my playing ability at that point. I definitely did a lot of shooting the far left door due to controller issues, screwed me up really bad on a really killer run when I accidentally shot a lady in the face. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably slower As popular as the SMS was in PAL territories, I don't think any games were released there with speed adjustment, were they? Maybe some of the Tec Toy stuff? I know the monsters are faster in the Japanese Captain Silver, but that wouldn't be a PAL thing...unless they developed the game for PAL territories and then released it in Japan without adjusting for NTSC? That would be kind of weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
