This game rankings will be based this week on MEDALS!

The more MEDALS you get… the higher your rank.

And here is the added twist… After the Medals, the rankings will be based on LOWEST SCORE.

So… Medals are the key… followed by the lowest score.

Example:

3 Medals – 15000 Points

3 Medals – 17000 Points

My first attempt.  I had this for the 7800 but never played the 2600 version.  It's not to bad.  I'll need to think a little more on how to minimize my score.  I think I saw a score jump when I picked up grenades and I wasn't sure how many soldiers I could just walk past.  I like the creative scoring.  I used to make up my own method for games that didn't have a score, such as time to complete for Adventure and Superman.

I don't. It feels more like a novelty setup for bonus points than the primary competition. I understand the spamming thing but then why choose a game that's so easy to spam?

 

Go HAM. Because the first measure is the number of medals, you don't have to worry about the points to beat most of the field. I'm sure there will be people that get all 8, but anyone that doesn't wont be able to top your score if you do. So score all the points you can, get all 8 medals and I'm feeling pretty good you will finish in the top 10 without having to worry about your score at all.

I like this game, but this will be my only post.

 

I think the key to getting lower scores will not too pick up more than 2 Grenades, avoiding the enemies as best you can and NOT losing any lives.

 

Losing a Life sets you back to a point in the stage where you have to repeat and thus scoring more points unnecessarily
