Rickster8 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 (edited) My First Bomb Squad Entry, It had been so long I had to re-memorize the overlay. Remember, I don't use overlays EVER. I memorize them... Also it's key to note that if you are playing a 3 digit code game. You have to press '2' to jump to the 2nd code number and '3' to jump over to the 3rd code number. I forgot this and lost atleast a minute of time trying to remember how to get to the other code numbers. Lol I kept pressing the disc in that direction. It didn't work... So hopefully on my next go-around I will be more seasoned, resulting in a better score..... 👍 BOMB SQUAD - LEVEL 3:1 - 7,400 My secret 3 Digit Code Number was [2-0-1] BY THE WAY - I'M A HERO!!!! 😜 Edited March 28 by Rickster8 Formatting 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash7 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I absolutely stink at this game so if I play it this week I apologize for any cities I'm leaving in rubble. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levels 1 and 2 really aren't that bad, it's Level 3 that's the absolute HORROR!!!! For some reason the controls really stink for that Level. You simply cannot get the soldering gun into the right spots ever.... Edited April 4 by Rickster8 Wording 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I absolutely dislike Bomb Squad, I am going to pass on this one. I learned how to play it for a previous HSC and even though I got decent at it then because I refused to not do well,I realized then the game is much more tedious than fun for me. Even with that knowledge, I tried again this time. I read the booklet, tried playing for a short while,and came to the conclusion it's not worth wasting my time or getting frustrated for. Hopefully, I like the next game better!👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpisacane Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I've been incredibly busy, so just in case I do not have a chance to play, here is a quick score from when I tested the game about two weeks ago.
