PressureCooker2600 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Well.....this game is a sonuvabitch!! After playing for about 30 minutes, I've only gotten 800 points. I'm stuck on Level 2. This game is fucking HARD!!! I don't remember it being that hard. If it didn't raise the difficulty to such an obscene level right off the bat....maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

This is waaaaaay harder than every other version I've ever played since you can't see the whole level at once! Which means lots of cheap deaths when you are surprised by enemies.

vdub_bobby Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Damn...... Great score! Lots of practice on the A800. The fact that you can't see the whole level at once is pretty annoying, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PressureCooker2600 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I just seriously suck at this game. Still can't pass Stage 2. And I'm usually great at strategy games such as this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdement Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I tried, but I couldn't make sense out of this game. After watching a youtube video of somebody beating the first level, I realized it's way over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdub_bobby Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 This really is a great, classic game. You guys should try one of the good computer versions, like the A800 or the Apple II. This NES version is a pretty poor port. But anyway, we're done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
