I got to stage six with 9 lives this time. Made it through to stage 7 and died trying to retrieve the 5,000 point bonus on the waterfall.

I made to stage six with zero lives and beefed it on the second jump.

I had to watch a youtube video to figure out stage 4. The last couple of times I played I kept running out of time trying to find a path to the scale. I ultimately got near the end of stage five, but couldn't get past this weird disappearing flying carpet.

I wouldn't call it work, but I appreciate the thanks. Jump in whenever you've got the time. We haven't seen you in a while.

Out of curiosity I played a couple of rounds just to pay attention to the points earned for each boss defeated. The point values are pretty bizarre so I played a second time to see if they were the same. They were. Here are the results: 1-1: 24,880 1-2: 24,880 1-3: 43,320 2-1: 82,080 2-2: 75,410 2-3: 82,080 3-1: 82,080 That's as far as I got. I still can't complete 3-2. if you add those up you get 414,730 just for the bosses alone. I also checked the points value for various pickups like the Gun, Life, Ration and Ammo. They were all 500 points a piece as far as I could tell.

Yes, the first boss with the bird is level 1-2. But I completely understand the confusion regarding the manual. It took me a few minutes to spot that the 1-2 boss even has a bird in his picture. Anyway, I'm personally not doing anything special to score points. I'm just trying to advance as far as I can. I haven't been paying too much attention to points as I play, but it seems like you get a decent bonus for each boss defeated and an even better bonus for each mission completed.

The game for this round is G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. If you've never played this game before you can jump right into it, but at some point I suggest reading the manual. Here is a link. Here are a few tips to start off: Characters can change from hand-to-hand to weapon mode by pressing select. All characters can throw grenades by pressing up and B when in hand-to-hand mode. The second stage of each mission requires finding all the check marks and then locating the exit. Game Rules: No Passwords. Score Post Deadline: Sunday January 27 at 11:59 PM CST.

Thanks for all the tips, mbd30. I'm not good enough to get anywhere near your score, but they're helping.
