+asponge Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 This is new one for me, but it looks fun and it's rated fairly high. The score disappears quickly at game over so you may want to pause before losing that last life to record your score. Also, I couldn't find a manual scan for this one. I've linked to a game guide instead. If anyone finds a link please post it. Thanks fakecortex.

+asponge Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 205,500 Second time playing and died at the second boss. So far this is much easier than the original Battletoads (for me anyway). Good game so far and there are a lot of opportunities to go for extra points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punisher5.0 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 394,200 Cool game. I dont think I've ever played this one. It was a relief to see a much easier turbo tunnel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 218,400 Fun game but man there's a lot of cheap hits. I don't feel bad at all using a turbo controller on this one haha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game doesn't reset your score after a continue, so just hit the continue button to see it. 190400 so far...I don't usually play this game solo, so it's a bit more difficult without a buddy, especially when you get sandwiched (which the AI REALLY likes to do). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Razzie.P Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 320,700 I have this game on Genesis, but have never played the NES version before today, I don't think. It's pretty impressive and seems more advanced that the system should allow, at times. It took a few tries before I developed the habit of keeping my distance 3x more than what it "feels like" I should to avoid getting hit. Pretty cool that we already have a few scores that are higher than the 2008 AA high score. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I got farther, but didn’t get a pic. Thanks for the tip @Asaki so I played again quickly so I can get a score submitted. I love the varied moves and how funny they all are. The hit boxes take some getting used to for sure. This game really does feel advanced, especially the 3D aspects. Pretty impressive.

Grip those and you can kick enemies without them being able to hit you. Just hold the direction you want to kick and attack. Sadly this doesn't seem to work on the yellow walkers with the long legs as they won't approach you. You have to fight them normally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
