I'm giving the tie breaker to skinny for now.  I'm just the score keeper though, so the contest mods might decide otherwise.  Based on  skinny's comment that he killed Willy but died at the same time, puts him higher than Brock, and both "further" than mbd.

I hate the "platforming" section before the final boss room. I keep falling off or getting knocked off. It's fun having instant deaths after finally getting to that point.

I am going to sit and watch those goddamn things come out of the wall for 10 minutes next time I get there.........If there is no noticable pattern that is just balls.

I discovered a trick for getting past the blocks that works most of the time.

Enjoy! I actually found a Dream Theater stub from 2007 that I've been using as a bookmark. They put on an amazing show (at least then)

I saw them back in 2004 when they were on the Octavarium tour supporting Megadeth on the first Gigantour.....met Dave and the boys that night as well.

Should be a good time man they are playing their new double album in full.

Well.........made it to the section in Mission 4 where the Abodo bursts from the wall but exhausted all the lives and was around 43k points.

Got like 4 hours of practice in, won't even bother posting pictures until I get the cart and play it on the NES.

I should have ordered this game last week. Now might be too late. I have to use an emulator with my Logitech pad.

I'll probably still buy it at some point because it's a fun game and I'd like to own it.


BTW, you can just ignore that Abobo in mission 4 and climb the wall.

Update. My score is terrible because I died at Willie and had to fight those enemies all over again, so I'm still in third. But I'm happy to have made it this far.

Looks like you missed the cave entrance. Ouch.

Yes, then you have to go in or the stage loops.

It's been brought up for discussion. I'm just waiting for bimmy and/or guillavoie to weigh in.

We're all really close. I wonder who will beat this first.

It's only Tuesday, so I'm guessing that all three of you (at least) will be able to do it by Sunday night.

This game is not too difficult for a beat em up. What makes it difficult is having to complete it with just three lives and no continues. If you got as many extra lives as in "Streets of Rage 2" for example, beating it would be trivial.

I beat it last night but didn't taks a picture because my score was really high,like 65k. I did die twice and basically killed everyone. I'm really rusty.

I know I can get it if I find the time for some attempts.  Roper should of died, but I was too impatient and kept getting hit by bullets like a moron

And I had one more attempt late last night but I somehow died 3 times to the part with the jump and the falling rocks.  Must be some randomization there.
