asponge Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I'm feeling kind of basic. It's time for a classic run and gun...

Yup, I normally copy and paste the previous round to create the new one. Thanks for the heads up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) 69980 so far. I know I've beaten the first one without cheating before, but I don't think I ever got around to this one ... I'm not expecting to beat it without any continues, though O_O I might need a different controller.

Punisher5.0 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 It looks like Asaki and my score got mixed up for Monster Party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Great game, but like the first, is a lot more fun with two players. After this score, I got to the second level without losing any lives (and still had the spreader) and then my system crashed. Subsequent games weren’t as good and just pissed me off, so I need a break 😒 These scores are insane guys. Super C - 43,640 lvl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzie.P Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 134,820 I was hoping I'd be able to finish this one over the weekend, but hasn't happened yet. Not sure if I'll get to play anymore today, so figure I'd better post this one to be safe. I'm not sure if I've ever beaten this one without continues or co-op help. Pretty much had Contra whooped as a kid, but didn't put as much time into Super C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I owe this increase to turbo. Y’all are beasts. Supa C - 60,940 area 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Does the "R" powerup actually do anything? The manual calls it "Rapid Fire", implying that it increases rate of fire, but it doesn't seem like it does? 94570 the other night, about to see if I can top that. Edit: 99720, I lost my spread gun and then those heat-seeking bubbles tore me up =| Edited November 14, 2022 by Asaki 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still good to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found it to be harder than the first Contra. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
