RangerG Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The worst is when one of those birds takes one of your extra men and flies away with it with you desperately trying to stop him. This is a pretty good game. I'm not very good, but I can get in a zone for a few screens, but then I get knocked out of the zone and I tend to quickly lose my men and game over!

+Cafeman Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I'm the same as RangerG - I'll be doing fine then somehow BAM BAM lose 2 lives back-to-back. It does help that the birds fly in a set pattern, so you can learn where to sit and shoot and they will all fly right into your shots. This game is more fun than I knew, it has fun challenges akin to those of Phoenix and Gorf. I think the flags bonus is what makes it truly entertaining - you go to the right-side boss screen and can't wait to see your bonus clock-up, and if you die there it is extra frustrating! Something in the back of my head tells me this game is on one of those PS2 Midway compliations but I never gave it more time ... I'll need to check later on to verify, unless one of you knows already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Ah what the h.e. double tooth-picks, I google'd it myself for the answers -- the coin-op version is on Midway's Arcade Treasures (and most comments were negative to it). Also: "After defeating Satan you get 1,000 points for each wave you have completed (kept track of by flags on the castle), and you get an extra gun added to your cannon (up to 3). Then you go back to the beginning with a slightly bigger lake of fire to deal with." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really notice the lack of space to move around in as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckirkman Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Well I now have 237,200. I thought I might be close to the lead, but Cafeman's score is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariron82 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Wow... I think I'll have what Cafeman is havin'! He was definitely in Da ZONE. Here's my humble attempt to improve: 112,200 I'm starting to believe this is one of the neatest and most addictive unreleased 8-bit games-- ever...I try to stop, but it keeps pulling me back in...

NoahsMyBro Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Man, I'm just not very good at this game. I managed to break 40k a few minutes ago, and that's the best I'm going to achieve this round. Put a notch up there for me, with 43,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahsMyBro Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Inching ever so slightly higher.... 44,300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 The funny thing about the 400k + score I got is that in my previous game my kids interrupted me and made me die at like 30K, and I got mad. Went upstairs and got a drink, thought I'd play one more round ... and had a great run! I couldn't believe I was surviving that long. It sure gets easier to rack up the points once you have like 4 shots and each boss-kill gets you 20,000+ points. You just keep mowing them down being careful not to ram into their shots and bombs. I saw a couple nightfalls and dawns. This home version is programmed excellently - the coin-op version I have on Midway's Treasures (PS2) isn't as much fun to me.

darthkur Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 That's it for this round. Congratulations to Cafeman for his impressive high score. I hope everyone had fun blasting demons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
