Haha yeah. When I first played the game a few years ago, I was just ropin' em like crazy. This summer I got into the patterns during the 2600 HSC and it became a whole new game.

Although I know the pattern and strategy for Stampede, it's still a game I can't get too too far in, although I always have a blast playing it. In my head, I should be thousands ahead of where I am, lol. But it's definitely a game that you need a steady strategy for. You can't rush in ropin' all them doggies. Just not possible.

I got this score when I couldn't find the level 1 wanted poster and I was forced to loop it a bit. But when I played again, found it, and got to the second level fast, I had a lower score than yesterday. So...I hope this entry is legal. Still has me last, so it doesn't affect anyone yet hahaha.
Is there a trick with finding the wanted posters? I've checked the maps, but sometimes they don't show up when I go to the spot. It looks like they appear above a barrel, but can they disappear? I feel like there's something I'm missing. Like you have to shoot, or not shoot, a certain area. I'm gonna do some research.*edit* went back to the instruction manual and it was right there. Ya need to shoot the blank area 8 times.

I've seen TVs on the road or by dumpsters with their cords cut before too, makes me upset. What kind of life did that tv have before it was heartlessly struck down? What kind of old games could it have gone on to play? 😭 I'm wondering if it has to do with not getting in the way when the trash guys pick it up; like maybe it's at their request?

Nice score @Rickster8! INSANE record @JacobZu7zu7, just like in the 2600 HSC this season.

According to: https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Gun.Smoke_(NES)/Walkthrough (that @Razzie.P shared)
"In this game, points aren't for showing off a high-score, they are actually dollars that you collect and spend at shops."
Yeah, tell that to this HSC...
-
Probably shouldn't have bought that first wanted poster...I'll take a look at that map. When you play for levels and not score, you want to buys stuff and try out different weapons, so the game plays a bit differently. Does everyone pretty much avoid spending any money at all?

The stiff controls is what keeps this good game from being great.

My controllers are definitely borked. I was finding the best success with a Genesis pad (and of course having to do the quick swap 🙄). I got around 105k I think but then the score went away before I could take a pic. Turns out my old Zenith cuts off the score in the top left, so I'll have to play on another, hah.

According to the manual, if you score over 200 on all four games (in a row, but here I'll say total), you're a sharp shooter. So congrats to those sharp shooters! haha

Love Stampede on VCS, I'll have to emulate here, but sure it'll still be great 🐴

Improving on Sharp Shot is hard, but got a couple new scores.
Maze: 33
Football: 91

1 button games that are played in 1 minute? My kind of games. Wait, "specially designed for children over 4"?...
The best football game I have played: 77
Space shooting where you want the shots to be just a frame or two faster: 69
Submarine shooting where you're thankful it allows you fire 3 torpedos at a time: 32
Maze shooting where you want turbo: 22
And they say mini games are a new fad. This one looks like it would be a lot of fun head to head on original hardware. Of course, another example of those damn side buttons giving you pain.

Upon repeat plays, it has gotten pretty frustrating 😕

That's crazy! I've seen carts with phone numbers on them, but ssn?! If someone finds a lost game, how would they even return it? Go to the police and have them tracked down by social security number? Wow. So stupid, haha.

I second this.

Such a good game. Never played this for points- makes those hidden treasures more appealing. I remember getting to Dracula when I was younger, but my game always froze up at the end. Sounds like an excuse, but I distinctly remember getting to the end like 3 times with it freezing. I haven't played enough this round to make it that far, but if it happens again...I have a second cart now to try it out on, hahahaha.

Improvement, tho I'm nowhere near the competition. I'm getting 47k in Astrosmash, so either the scoring climbs higher there or somethin'. I am enjoying using the paddle tho!
