I bow down to anyone that can actually 1cc this game. It's absolutely brutal. I grew up with this game and enjoy it a lot, but I don't think I'll be much of a competitor this week.



Since point racking is allowed,no deathing the game will not get you first place. (I'd never heard of 1ccing until you said it....1 cubic centermetering?)

1cc stands for one credit clear.  It's arcade gamer terminology, real big in the shmup scene.  In other words, beating the game w/o continuing.

When I see that 11th,it reminds me of when you lose badly in Excitebike and it shows you far off from the podium like a total loser. Lol.

No early submission from me this week. I got a few hours of great practice in this evening and I could've posted a decent score but I thought I would hold off and put some better runs together first. Shane and Doug,you better bring it this week! You too Adym. I want to see this 2 million. The gauntlet has been thrown!

Well, I'm terrible at this game, but I own it, so I'll give it a shot!

I'll try to get a score up today, but I need to take notes on the stages where the timer resets and where it doesn't. I left a bunch of points on the table last time due to not using all of the timer in the areas where you get a fresh clock in the next section.

As long as you're not farming 1ups, it should be good since this game has a time limit. Haven't played it for a long time :/

Since you're quoting Stone Cold this week, does that mean I have to buy you a round of Shaneweisers at Hooters if you manage to beat me again?

That is right, you can farm energy because of the timer.

I'm not against forbidding either. I said that cause that's how we played it last time, and to be frank, it was useful only in one single occasion and that wasn't that useful. So with or without it is almost the same IMO.

It doesn't matter to me. I just wanted to see you guys duel it out in Rock,Paper,Scissors.

Pre-rollover:



After the rollover:


And the final life/score shot:



New Score: 1,426,500+(1 Life * 1000) = 1,427,500

HOWEVER:
My name isn't in that final picture (it's a distraction just sitting there) and I was lucky enough to get my phone in time to get the picture (as you can see I was 1 hit from a game over). So, I think it's only fair to share the run with everyone and let bimmy and guil and such decide if it'll be counted.

Here's the link to the run:



Rollover + pause's start at 46:23 (

) The double pause is because I paused it before the last kill was added to the score.

(the grind spot in 6-3 that I use is not the best one to use, but the most safe from what I can tell)

Who would be dumb enough to beat the game with lives remaining?

I'm not saying I will but if you roll the score it's only two photos? Before you roll it and game over. When we rolled Kung fu it was three photos. before after and game over.

6-2 is kicking my ass. I got as far as the final battle but couldn't beat even the first form (ken?). That was with around 100 continues 😬.

I was trying to get a score in before work so I had time for one run. I got to 4-1 and lost every life. I swear Doug remoted into my PC and screwed it all up!

I fell trying to get the extra life, fell jumping up the wall and then got nailed by the bird and gunner.

By the way Adym, I was at 1 million just going into 3-1.
