StanJr Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 The item I would use is the curse from Q*Bert. And I would use it in every movie about 5x more than John ever does because if I were in half the situations that cat gets into, every third word I uttered would be so filthy it would make Andrew Dice Clay blush. I curse more when I stub my toe than Rambo does as he's being shot, stabbed, sliced, and punched one million times. Situations like the one below would require at least 6 different terms describing methods of sexual intercourse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+TwentySixHundred Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) For the bonus i will have to go with the chopper from chopper command, just like the scene where Rambo takes down the chopper with an arrow Edited April 7, 2015 by Tony The 2600 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoomUnit Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I think Weird Al Yankovic was a better Rambo than Sylvester Stallone.My item is a big ass gun. I would fire hundreds of explosive rounds into the air while bellowing in anger and frustration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrabbler15 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 3800 I think my guy could get shot in a basic training exercise, but he still goes running into the field screaming a war cry like he's gonna save the world. It actually ends up being 'step step step bang dead' over and over again. . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Ya know....when I started playing this on Saturday I was really, really cursing the game. Couldn't stand it...but I think I figured out a workable strategy: just move a LITTLE BIT at a time, and the second you see something at the very top of the screen, wait patiently. That helped me get to 17,600, especially after watching Oyamafamily's video on YouTube from a coupla years ago. I know ZERO about Rambo, and I'm not going to watch the movie or read its IMDB description or Wikipedia page or whatever just for a bonus point, so I'll eschew that, at least for now... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yeah, Dauber, like I said about the NES version, it's the exact same strategy. Scroll the screen just enough to see the feet of the enemy solider and then shoot. Often their shots will get gobbled up (somehow) by the top of the screen. Works the same for tanks and choppers. Choppers are the most deadly and especially on the bridge where you have less room to maneuver. Choppers act like soldiers but can only be killed by grenades. But anyone with a few hours to kill can slowly roll this game I am sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperboy Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 But anyone with a few hours to kill can slowly roll this game I am sure. You've given me a goal this week if I can find the time..If I find the time! I don't much care for this version so rolling it would be a slap in the face of the Ikari code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacey Invader Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 2,500 If I don't bring up the rear, who will? This highlights my favorite scene in the Rambo series, in which John Rambo flees endlessly to the top of the screen whilst identical men in blue fire square bullets from their belts. I'm impressed that this guy can swim -- most heroes of the following generation's consoles would die instantly with contact to water. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo_chilly Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Item I would have John Rambo use is the Javelin from the Activision Decathlon. It would allow Rambo to hunt enemies from a distance instead of using just using some inaccurate slapped-together spear to hunt grub in the woods.

+Cafeman Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I played Zaxxon, which I also don't own, on our Raspberry Pi. Pretty accurate emulation if not perfect, from playing some rooms of games I also own. We use a Play station 2 controller. That's the route I will go for this game too.

voodoo_chilly Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) But anyone with a few hours to kill can slowly roll this game I am sure. I don't know if it will be that easy. When I got to the colonel, I had my current life plus 2 in reserve. I didn't know how to "save" the colonel so I went up and touched the wall in front of him. Wrong move! Then I threw a grenade and killed it. How is that "saving" the colonel? I don't get it. Anyway, I thought I would EASILY pass your score but got killed quickly! I think the enemies bullets are faster the 2nd time around. I barely passed your score by 200 measly points. Maybe I was just psyched because I got past the colonel, but I think the enemies got a helluva lot harder. I will have to see in future games.

GornThrifting Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Bonus: Xonox Robin Hood (think that's a tiny bow, right?) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northcoastgamer Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Bonus - I would use the machine gun from Commando and shoot the transfomer in town near Coleco HQ, stopping them from finishing Zaxxon and preventing them from DETECTING the zombies outside! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 13,700 for my bonus I'm takin' the oil-slick from Spy Hunter. John Rambo needs grease to look dirty and greasy. that way I could be sure to look the part when I go back for another deadly pit-fight after the one in Rambo III -- this time for cash!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I was just psyched because I got past the colonel, but I think the enemies got a helluva lot harder. I thought you did it just to spite me! Yeah, the "kill the colonel to save him" thing is weird, but bombs away! I didn't notice it getting tougher, I just noticed I was getting tired. I'll give it another go tonight and see what's what. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any of the Rambo movies either, so I just made something up and came away with 2 bonus points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) The shots are faster after the Colonel, but all that means is you have to scroll the screen even slower to hit them before they can shoot. So the game gets MORE tedious as you progress. Edited April 8, 2015 by StanJr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
