Recommended Posts

The game for round 9 is Star Soldier. They key to this one appears to be shooting the "P-Mark" to release a capsule. You can capture up to four capsules to power up your ship. The manual for this game is a bit sparse. If anyone has any good tips for this one please post them.

This is a GREAT game for high score contests! Many hidden bonuses and many challenging ways to boost your scoring.

The diving under platforms can be very annoying, and it's the main complaint this game gets. However it does add more to the scoring potential as some bonuses and I think powerups are only found under a platform.

 

Here is an excellent guide for Star Soldier:

IMO one of the best shooters on the NES!

IMO, there should be a rule about your run ending if you fail to defeat a boss so that you can't keep looping a level.

 

I'm not familiar enough with this game to comment in depth, however if a player is purposefully looping a level, that's point pressing and against the rules.
