There's always the possibility that skinny's power or internet will go out before he can post a score.

Score - 295,400

Legendary Wings is the best, easy shooter, on the NES!  You think it sucks because you suck!

What you got fruit cake?!?!  Show your hand.
 

I guess it's safe to show now. Takes 32 min to beat the game.

I never timed it. Did it really take that long?

Ya, I beat this game at least 10 times this week. Ayyyeeee!! 
 

See, now, it's extremely difficult to get a score like this without point racking. Skinny must have played a near perfect game.
 

Hacks
 

Im pretty sure no one else decided to purge lives this week  

Unless erizisto comes up with a slick Kobra Kai I got some cushin going into road blasters.

I've got footage of a 2300000+ run if you guys want to see it.

The only stages I didn't get a perfect end stage bonus on this run was stage 2 (because you guys started talking about insta destroy the rocks) and stage 7 

 

Yeah, it definitely didn't occur to me to burn lives to point hack.
I pretty much did a few runs Wednesday to learn the game, three or so yesterday to get that score and just one today, trying to no-death it because of the lives bonus at the end of the stage.  
Pretty nice score Skinny.

A technique you use in g&g. 

Thank you. Tips hat*
 

I couldn't even get participation, but I wanted to let everyone know that I tried, and that I'm absolutely terrible with shooters of any kind (not that I'm exactly at the top of the rankings, hah)

The burning lives technique worked well for me in Wrecking Crew.

Where did you burn lives to increase your score? It must have been in a spot where you can still refill your health and weapons or you miss out on the boss bonus. The final level has tons of enemies but you don't want to lose any lives before the boss, unless there are refill locations that I couldn't find.

Yeah, as I said G&G is a game where I got some experience to be half decent at, so I knew a thing or two of point racking there.  
This was a brand new game for me, so I tried to approach it the same way I do with the games on the "Can NA Beat Every NES Game In A Year" thread and just beat it.  
It was fun. I wouldn't have enough time to figure out the best spots to die in order to point rack and recover all your power ups right after dying, anyway.

So congratulations on the win for this week.  

Lol hate  

even this weaker score trumps you guys. 





 

Yeah, I'm curious where you'd burn lives too.

Yeah, soon after asking that, I noticed that you have level 4 bombs in your screenshot. D'oh.

I'm guessing that skinny burned lives in stage 6. There is a weapons refill early in the stage and a health refill later in the stage.

Stage number 1 big killer   

hit the secret area until I had 0 lives 
 

I never found the weapons refill except stage 1 and 2. 

Supposedly there is one in every stage. 
 

How many points did that add to your score? I wish I had thought to do that. Nice strategizing.
 

Yeah, nice job skinny. I take it back, you don't suck...just at Legendary Wings.  

I never found those secret weapon cache places either, in no stage. I should take a look at a guide to figure out them if I am ever revisiting this game.
