Frozone212 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 not bad man. some tips don't stop firing don't be afraid to use bombs, the game is incredibly fair with ammo Prioritize speed for better gameplay or sprite for better graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game is extremely forgiving, but it looks great! I was impressed. Edited September 7, 2022 by mbd39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozone212 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 holy! that was unexpected. How did they account for slowdown? only 8 sprites can be onscreen at a time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Okay, here's a better Marble Madness score. This was with two deaths or score would've been 2k points higher. 177,870 Edited September 7, 2022 by mbd39 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Climber Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I'll pick Trojan. No idea if this is a good score or not, its just one of the few games I can consistently 1cc because I still play it regularly. Also one of the few cases where the NES version is far better than the arcade version (commando is another one IMO) Trojan - 119850 Warning, pic contains spoilers lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew they were porting this to the NES. here's how I would fix it: Ditch the isometric view Tighten up the controls change scoring to count for levels beaten and throw out the time limit Edited September 8, 2022 by Frozone212 I HATE MARBLE MADNESS!

If you're going to start cheating again then don't bother submitting any more scores. I think I'm safe to speak for everyone when I say we're all tired of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the NES Advantage. It feels just like the arcade. And do you remember what level you got to? I don't remember which one that is by looking at it.

Frozone212 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I don't use controllers. Well I do have a USB but it's one of those crappy PS2 copy ones. I use the arrow keys, K,L for turbo and , . for A and B I think it was 14 or so, can't remember, it doesn't save score to leaderboards or anything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know if there are any special rules for your chosen games that need to be stated. For Gun-Nac: Easy or normal, no expert Bosses are limited to either 1 (MG), 2(discs) or 3(orbs) for weapons (bombs don't count and normal enemies can use whatever). If you are over, you must die to reset to normal. Final: Drops bombs can only be used once and no more than two wings per game. Everything else is good other than that, the basic rules apply Edited September 11, 2022 by Frozone212 filled in missing info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
