You'll always be the new guy until you're not the new guy. Gloves was the new guy for a whole year and look at that fucker now. 8-bit has been a new guy. It's just what we do

I have no clue how to pull 70k more I'm nearly killing everything and getting a hefty time bonus. There are the mines, I'm not pressing max points there I know and they are worth 2k a piece but I don't know if I can get 30 more of them.

I don't know how he's getting that much.. I'm sitting at 808 right now, with a few hours to grind, hopefully tomorrow, and i know what I'm missing.. Have no idea where that score is coming from...

Anyway, I have tried the trick, beat pinkie to a pulp and improved upon my score. Thanks for the help!
 



Holy shit, incredible score, great job.. Yes, talking to you, new guy being that your the new guy.. You would have lost that moniker after a few weeks... If we had a few weeks. Once this is over I'd love to hear your secret.
Okay.
And thanks for the congratulations.
The thing about how to beat pink was posted here earlier. But I have also recorded my recent attempts and can share the successful one once this is round over. I think then you can also see best if there is anything different about the gameplay in the Japanese version.
I might give this another try later.

I've made a few runs on hector 87 and I cannot tell any difference between the two games.

How difficult is Starship Hector to beat would you guys say? How does it's challenge stack up against, say, Silver Surfer, or Star Soldier?

I only put in a couple hours, but so far it seems harder than Silver Surfer, haven't played Star Soldier.

Way harder than Silver Surfer. Somewhat harder than Star Soldier, but not by much.

Appreciate the responses @Californication & @Tulpa! (Others opinions still welcome)

I figured it'd be harder than Silver Surfer. While SS is a good challenge, it's way overblown due to the AVGN episode of it.

Star Soldier is just brutal IMO. Once you get to level 13 they start throwing those constant homing bullets at you, in addition to the gradual increase of regular bullets & enemies (add to that you get no continues). One of the toughest shmups IMO. Sucks you hear Starship Hector may be even worse.

Imo star force is the most difficult shooter I've played on the nes. I've haven't played enough star solider to say.

Also I think silver surfer might be more difficult than starship hector. I hate touch the wall die. Silver surfers difficulty isn't as tough as it's reputation but still a very difficult game.
