Think we'll get 10 participants for shinobi? Bet we get 40 next week?

I sure hope so. I was surprised that we only had nine last week considering Shatterhand is a really good game.

Do you know that the target is the engine of the helicopter and not the ninjas? It's the small yellow box right behind the propeller. If I hadn't looked it up, I would've had no idea what to do.

Yeah I figured that, I just can't get enough hits in on it.  The sound when you hit it doesn't really sound like a "taking damage" sound effect, which threw me off for a little while.

There is a new girl member. I wanted to tell her we already have a girl named arnpoly and she has bigger boobs, but I kept it clean. Would have been funny though.

I agree shatterhand is a great game. I don't think many people know about it. It's kinda rare. And even though natsume is behind it there is still a giant Jaleco sign on it that says stay away.

Yeah, that doesn't help either. It's a bit odd that the second boss is probably the toughest one in the game, but it doesn't seem like there was much effort put into the game in general.

At least it wasn't the giant LJN "rainbow of death".

Heh, it's probably a good idea not to offend a new member.

That helicopter is kicking my ass. I don't think I'm going to have the care to get past it.

Lol, there better not be any technical difficulties next week. I just took a practice picture at 2:52, just to make sure. I was a little concerned about the screen changing so quick after he gets knocked out. I wish it would give you the blue screen with the official time afterwards like it does the other guys.

But if we don't end up going for fastest times it probably won't matter anyway.

2:52 sounds like a practice attempt too.

I'm in the same boat. I too am struggling with the helicopter boss. After my last death, I started to suspect that the ninjas were not the real target. I'll have to give this a go!
