CShell 0 Check out the High Score Club webpage for more infro: www.flipsiderunner.com/7800/highscore.html As of now, this HSC is Apolloboy's baby once again. I had fun moderating the club, and I hope you guys did to. Cousin Vinnie

I wonder if there is a point difference with the light gun... that would seem like a program flaw to me. I'll figure it out tomorrow. But that's cool, you'll score will remain in tact either way. CV

That's a mighty damn good score for a guy who didn't beat the game Shoot at the head/body...not the egg chute. CV

No clue trip... I was rolling past 700,000 this last time. And to my dismay... puke. Oh well: Here's a middle finger for the programmers to the game. CV

Tried to break 700,000 694,800 CV

what??? you beat them both? how many levels do each have? CV PS: I think Water Ski sucks and Tank Command is terrible. So I like Water Ski more.

Man, SYD, TT, and MM are all games you need to give a few chances on. SYD kinda bored me at first, but it really gets better each level you complete. Check out the manual on this site for Midnight Mutants. It'll get you rollin. You can also check out John K Harvey/ Cousin Vinnie's Walk Thru for Midnigh Mutants at the site below Tower Toppler is my favorite game on the system...BTW. Surprisingly, many peeps don't dig on DF, but I think it is a really good game. Cousin Vinnie www.flipsiderunner.com/7800

Here's my score: 688,600 Weird thing is, when I killed the Mother Alien, my score was rolling past 699,000... and then it suddenly came back to the above score. Needless to say, I was taken aback. Here's a few hints for my homies who care: -Killing Hostages will SCREW you. There is a massive penalty for your mistakes. It's better to take a couple of bullets and make sure what you are shooting at is an alien than to waste it before you know for sure. -Killing soldiers/aliens underwater net you HUGE points. -For some strange reason, the white coal cars in the Mine level give massive bonus points when you shoot them. -White snakes give good bonus points every time you shoot them. Shoot: All dark green soldiers, white snakes, white coal cars, gray round things on the tracks, space ships, gray helicopters, tanks, water skiiers with the alien Do Not Shoot: All tan soldiers, nurses, lab workers, mermaids, octopi, black dogs, green helicopters, water skiiers with the chick For my level by level walkthru on the game, go to www.flipsiderunner.com/7800 and go to CV's Cheap Universe good luck! Cousin Vinnie

Fatal Run is best played on the final 4 cities. 'Turtle' is the passcode. It shortenes the game up, makes it tougher since you have a basic car (lack of difficulty is an issue) instead of a rolling whirlwind of doom, and you get to see the cool ending w/o 2 hours of drool stored on the floor. I think the game sucks... but for some reason I like it alot. I think the game captures the mood of an impending apocolypse very well. Cousin Vinnie

You can play Alien Brigade with a joystick, by the way. I like AB better than OW... but I'm a 7800 loyalist. I like the alien aspect to it. By the way man, check out my reviews on every 7800 game. It might help answer some questions for ya. www.flipsiderunner.com/7800 Cousin Vinnie

Oops...Standard Difficulty. Cousin Vinnie

Here we go, fogies... beat that alien arse. www.flipsiderunner.com/7800/highscore.html Woot Cousin Vinnie

Not far behind at all... We have over 40 games left to play. You could get in th etop 5 in a matter of a few weeks. You have all week to come up with the best score possible. CV

Does that mean you are finally gonna jump in and compete this week, ole pal? CV

I know what you mean Rockman X...I could only play the game Monday and Tuesday and couldn't try to topple some of the better scores. Cousin Vinnie

Hey guys, my post about the Game Genie thing was a joke. There is no Game Genie for the Atari. I didn't think anyone would believe that. Sorry for the confusion Cousin Vinnie

dude, guys, seriously... THE GAME GENIE THING WAS A JOKE!!! Yes, Normal, Standard, Intermediate....these are all the same mode in my mind. There is no Game Genie for the 7800. I was just being silly, and I apologize for the confusion. Cousin Vinnie
