Season 18 Round 3 of 15 - Contra

[Razzie.P]

4,028,400

 

 

Didn't make it.  ?

 

Sadly, I don't think I'll have time today to give it that classic " just one more try."   These runs start to take a while.

These scores here are amazing. What I’ve realized is that I like Contra best with 30 lives and/or two players. Thanks asponge for including a LSC bonus here- even tho I haven’t tied the lowest, it is fun to play with a different strategy. Breaks up all the violence, haha. 

 

Looking at the scores, there seems to be two kinds of players here: Those who get stuck at the waterfall stage and those who can beat the game without much trouble and loop it repeatedly.

Perhaps one day, but for now, making it to each next stage will be my standing goal. I like to do 2 players without the code and see how far we can get without continues. But of course, it's also fun to throw in game genie and just blast through the game, messing around

You know what game is still hard for me? Super C. I can barely make it past stage 4.

 

A lot of people think that Super C is easier which is just weird.

Another good round.  Some amazing scores here again.
