Athena is another one of those NES games developed by Micronics, but published by SNK. I could say so many bad things about Athena (from graphics to controls to glitches), but I won't because I don't want to face the wrath of Bea  

-------------------------

My NES collection count: 757 games (16 to go for a full set)

Latest Purchase(s): Snow Brothers

"Wait...Bimmy and Jimmy??  How'd they make a mistake like this!?  Bimmy isn't even a real name!"

Beware the Bimmy Marsh!

Athena is a masterpiece just like Ikari Warriors!
Micronics developers were geniuses!

Don't worry, the can was empty and dry on the bottom.  No NES carts or boxes were harmed in the taking of these pictures   hehe

I propose an amendment to this week's rules. Anyone who posts a coaster pic gets automatic participation.

I really want to get somewhat good at this game because there might be fairly easy leaderboard points here. Even top 8 would be swell... but I cant even get participation yet. I dont know if I'm just playing it wrong or what. Its friggin hard.

Yeah even getting participation is rough.

The main thing is try to get to the tank and then try to keep the tank. You can also exit the tank when you're running low on fuel or after you've been hit by pressing A+B.

And you can aim with the tank by holding A and using directional buttons. I didn't know this until seeing it on gamefaqs.

Oh shit you mean the two tanks fairly close to the start?  I didnt know you could drive them, I kept blowing them up.  I guess that explains the fuel powerups that come later on.  This is gonna help big time!!!

Haha. No wonder you aren't coming close to participation if you haven't been using the tanks.

Yeah so I tried it with the tank and got over 20,000 first try.  I didn’t really have real time to commit but knowing about these tanks now I’m starting to like this game.

Halfway through Level 3.  Pretty happy to have gotten this far again!


 

Nice score. Nobody else is even going to clear the first level, so first place should be yours.

Very nice score Arn.  
I will post my paltry mod score tonight. Been so busy lately, but I have the game on pause back home at the start of level 4.
I died a stupid death at the end of stage 3, sadly. I suck.

I did some practice with ABBA, and I managed to beat the game again after continuing maybe 20 times. I thought the ABBA code was supposed to quit working at some point?

If you like the tanks in this game, you might try the SNK game Iron Tank. It's basically the Ikari Warriors tank mode as a whole game.

It should stop working at stage 4, iirc.
Been way too long since I last used it.

Believe me, I did quite a lot of ABBA in Stage 4.     I thought maybe it quit working during the Stage 3 boss.  I worked it out so I continued right before the final screen, then burned two lives finishing the level.  Once I got the Stage 4, it worked the rest of the game.  Maybe it also quits working at the end of Stage 4 as well, but I finished the last screen without dying.  Not sure if my theory is correct ... like maybe it only works a certain number of times and I didn't run out.

Yes I love Iron Tank.  I have been searching for a CIB for some time now ever since I sold off my copy from my original collection when I was downsizing big time a few years ago. The irony is that I found it so easily back then and didn’t even know what it was.

This game is rough. I’d rather play Heavy Barrel.  Sorry Bea.
