M.A.M.E Offender Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I discovered a way to increase your chances on getting a dollar bill shower. Build up multiple snowballs and get in between them and then fire them. 441,560 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 (edited) I keep dying on floor 14 with the elephant art. This game is by the same people who gave us "All your bases are belong to us!", BTW. I have to say I'm quite impressed. The only thing missing is better, more varied sound. And man do I hate how those dollar bills disappear so quickly.

I think the trick is to avoid hanging around at the bottom of slides and to kill those blue guys ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Boooooooo, if you kill everybody on the screen with one ball and get the extra-man round, you don't get any dollar bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Hey, you can keep shooting the dead boss for some extra points. Doesn't really compare to even a single dollar bill, but it's a neat trick. Oh what I would give to get the dollar bills while having the speed boost.

Oh what I would give to get the dollar bills while having the speed boost. Yeah, I noticed that too. You can pelt the boss with your shots while he's still standing for the same points, but I think it's only like 10 points per hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 getting better! I am usually clearing the 1st boss with close to 300k now. 548,530 B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like he might blow up if you hit him enough. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHW Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 So I've been playing around with the NES version a bit. It's a bit easier, and there are fewer enemies. Quality-wise there's quite a bit of flicker, naturally to be expected for an NES game. The colour palette isn't the greatest, but what can you do? Sound is okay, but doesn't push the NES. They do manage to keep the 2-player which is nice. The sushi is replaced with western food: candy, sandwiches, ice cream etc. I guess at the time there were few sushi places around, but now my city is full of them. You can only shoot 3 snow-crescents at a time. The boss is unimpressive. The gameplay is mostly there. Has all the floors. They try to give it a story and there's some in-between bonus rounds like a slot machine. Overall it's a good game and I would get it, but I still have to play it more to judge better. Apparently Ocean developed Amiga, Atari ST and Commodore 64 versions as well, but never released them. The Amiga ROM has found its way into cyberspace, but not the others. Wish I could see the C64 version. There's a Tengen Genesis port too, which I will try later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 784,860 Floor 19. This game I was 388k after round 10. It's a bit like Bomb Jack this game, there is really no point in playing it safe, you have to go for the big points every level, it's all about the $money$!!

BillyHW Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Floor 16: So has anybody managed to spell S-N-O-W yet? I've gotten up to 3 of the letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHW Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Floor 16: I had over 600,000 and no lives lost by the time I beat the first boss on this one. But it all fell apart when one of those stupid blue blobs from the bonus round killed me and I lost all my power-ups. Bonus rounds shouldn't hurt you. Ugh, just 2000 short of the lead.

BillyHW Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) I made it to the second boss, but didn't know what to do so I died. It's probably best to get all your points before this. Still haven't been able to spell SNOW. I'm always stuck on 3 letters, and they keep giving me the same ones. Apparently spelling out SNOW gives you an extra life, but man, it's altogether too much work for just one extra life, and I lose all my dollar bills whenever that stupid snowman head shows up in the bubble.

bigbee99 Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 I don't know if I can reach 1M before we finish this week. I did get a few chances this morning to play and had 500k by the end of the 1st boss, just to die on 13. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
