+DamonicFury Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 115,460 Congrats on that monster score, Cafeman!!! I gotta say, every time this game comes up, I like it a little bit less. Oh, well... Clearly it has its fans, as it comes up quite a lot. Each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly it has its fans, as it comes up quite a lot. Each to their own. I spent a lot of quarters on this one back then and still love it now on all platforms. I nominated this one as the controls really do make a difference. In this case, not for the better. The votes make it happen though. The Chinese Mr. Mary version is pretty good as well.

I nominated this one as the controls really do make a difference. In this case, not for the better. The votes make it happen though. The Chinese Mr. Mary version is pretty good as well. In smaller doses, in the past, I've always rather liked it. I agree the arcade version is especially nice, with its excellent graphics and sound. It's only been while trying to get a high score on this version that's it's begun to wear on me. It just takes a while to get hard, and when it does, it doesn't grant you the mercy of a quick death as most games do. Instead, it sends you into a never ending hell of trying to kill one Fighterfly as you endlessly try to avoid those super annoying fireballs. Ugh!

+Cafeman Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 As GnR said, Just a Little Patience, us needed to clear levels once Ice guy and fireballs start appearing. It helps your score a lot if you get every bonus level coin. The timer is often on 1 or 0 as I grab the last one. The POW button is reset after bonus rounds too - I start using it to speed up clearing especially annoying rounds, as it clears all fireballs too. I like how you can hold in the jump button in this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
