It's so much fun if you're into Ninja Gaiden style platformers. One of my favorite NES games.

It also has some driving and shooting stages that are approximately one million times easier than the ones from Bayou Billy.



 

I can't wait because I'm actually really good at this game 😉

This game is very Ninja Gaiden-esque. Especially the birds and the enemies knocking you off of platforms part.

The key to survival is knowing where to stand on platforms so as to not get knocked off. If you die, chances are it's from getting knocked from a platform.

That makes two of us. Good luck, man.

I wonder if we'll be playing low score or one life.

I am waiting on the final rules for this one, so I will start only tomorrow.
But I am pretty terrible at this. Only got to beat it once or twice.

Sorry, I had an indigestion late Yesterday and I'm only getting really better now.

There are 1up loops for sure in this game so the current rules don't work. We'll go with the 1-life rule, cause it is annoying to run down the clock in order to get a lower score.

Now, how fast the score disappears after beating that final boss?

It disappears after about a second. It might be best to have beating the first form be as far as you can go.

The creators of VPD took the formula of putting tons of enemies at areas where they can knock you off platforms and really ran with that idea. Super annoying. And the range of the gun is pathetic.

This is a game I've really been curious about and excited to play, but it just won't be in the cards. Oh well, next time

I've been looking forward to playing it, I love the style of game. Going to have to at least beat it once for sure.

Yeah, the score disappearing that fast can be annoying. I'll modify the rules in that order. Thank you for your input man!

The grenades are much more useful than the gun.

The 9-2 boss is one of the few parts of the game that can give me trouble. I try to get that sweet spot where I'm right next to him on the platform hitting him a bunch of times.

Damn, I would have had a really sweet score had I not fucked up there.

Really wish you could pause to change your weapons.

5-2 is where you really start to contend with the knock back with the narrow platforms and instant death from bumping into enemies and projectiles. Some evil Ninja Gaiden-esque level design there.
