Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment in the weekly contests.  I'm gonna get things started early this week because I have to work late tonight and I don't want to keep you all waiting.  This week's game is going to be my all-time favorite game, Double Dragon 2.  Here are the rules:
  • Play on Supreme Master
  • Play until Life "0"
  • Once you reach Life "0," you MUST stop playing and take a picture of your score.  If it is determined you played more of the game on your last life, the score will not count.
  • No point racking
  • If you beat the game, Pause the game quickly after you beat the Shadow Master to get or score, or, just take your picture quickly after you beat him if you can't pause it
  • The infinite lives trick in Stage 5 at the Train is forbidden
  • You may not start a 2 player game and kill Jimmy Lee to get extra lives
  • Highest score wins
  • GENRE: Beat ‘Em Up


The contest ends Sunday, 3/17/13 at 10 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will not be allowed.  Good luck everyone and have fun

Been playing this for most of the day and this is the best I'm going to do. I beat it and that's good enough for me. Kudos to everyone who put up great scores and to everyone who participated. Ready for the next game.

I wanted to take a shot at Rad Racer, the topic from last week says I have till 10pm tonight. Does this mean the contest are overlapping each other or is Rad Raceer done?

And just to clarify,do you play until basically game over,or until you are on your last man and it says x 0? The picture I posted was with my last man left and not game over. I paused the game right after I died. (Force of habit.)

EDIT: Nevermind,I can't read. So play to your last man,and NOT game over.

I put in a no point racking rule to prevent someone from repeatedly punching or kicking an enemy without killing them in order to rack up points.

Also, Doug, did you play on your last life?  If you did, I won't be able to take the score.  Once you guys get to your last life (life "0"), make sure to pause the game right away to get your score, just like gutsman did with his.

Cool. I'm definitely not doing that. Every thug is straight out getting an ass whooping. I may be able to beat this before the week is up. Those flipping ninjas at the end are a major pain in the ass though.

Hey, bim, not sure you'll except this score.  It's just my first try anyway.  Let me explain what happened.  I was on train level, right when you come up that ladder and after you fight the guys with the flame sticks.  Out comes the big Chin.  Fighting him just fine, get too close to the left, dick tosses me.  I figure I have time to snap the shot, so I didn't hit pause, motherfucker tosses my next guy as soon as he stops blinking, it was the fastest shit I ever saw.  I did NOTHING else after I got 0 lives.  So I snapped the pic of my score in the high-score box in a new game.  If it's not acceptable I'll understand, I can break at least 60K easy.  I mastered the knee long ago and kneed the shit out of everyone.

No, I paused the game right as I got killed and I'm guessing that the lives counter changed to 0 while I was still on the ground flashing. I updated my score and I this time I waited until I reappeared before I took the picture.

Stupid platforming parts!! I find precise jumping in this game harder than any of the badguys they throw at you.

Agreed.  I think that's a staple in Double Dragon games.  They lull you into thinking it's all about fighting skills and then boom, you fall in a pit.

Only slightly less annoying is fighting on platforms where you can't walk up and down to avoid people.

I saw this post and immediately thought of the original arcade game, and jumping across that broken bridge in Mission 3.  That place would usually end my game as a kid.

Yeah, that's the worst part right there.  I don't understand how you have such a low score for that level?  You need to work the knee man!

Its the first time I've played it in over a year, I'm rusty with the timing. Its probably about 50% knees, lol.
