Need to work that cut Megs! Come on now. Stand up on the track right above where your Bimmy is right now. When Arnold jumps up, jump onto the first pipe, cut that mother. Move around and repeat, he can't hit you unless he's in line with you.

Arnolds easy I just had 1 life bar left when he first came out and got hit at the wrong time OOPS

goal is to get the arnold onto the ledge above. when he shows up, guide him to the left then jump to the ledge. he'll follow. once he's up there, jump off to the right of the ledge. spin kick him and he'll fly to the left but he'll always be above you. spin kick doesn't do as much damage as uppercut so you can get more bonus points. i hope that was clear enough

-------------------------

also please check out my youtube page. i try and play through nes games. i try and keep the deaths minimum. http://www.youtube.com/user/Blast...

My highest score so far is a 3. Yeah, I know it isn't possible, for you.

My NES cartridge collection: 208/768 (27.08%)

Just got a 3DS - looking to start a DS/3DS collection. If you have any games you'd like to part with (preferably with case), PM me.

YUS GOT OVER 100K. Right around 115K to be exact. Can't believe I lost my life on the shadow Bimmy. Freaking so easy, and I had rocked a SINGLE life all the way since the second Abobo in the train level. Even then, when I went through on my last life to see how far I could make it, my score wouldn't have been more than 118. 150 is a LONG way, but I'm happy with my score. Picture later tonight.

I beat it last night and you can pause it when it goes into the slow motion sequence, but you don't have a lot of time to do it. Maybe a few seconds. My best advice is that if anyone beats it, pause it right away when it starts going into slow motion.

I tried pausing it in the middle of the slow motion sequence so maybe that was the problem. My score wasn't that great anyway so I still need to work on that part.

I wish I had recorded my run from last night. My score was good enough for 3rd place on Twin Galaxies.

You probably already know this, but if you are recording something to send to TG, do not pause, it will DQ the recording.

Just play back the tape afterwards and snap a pic of your score.

Good luck Kevin!

Well I made it past level 6 for the first time. Then right in the beggining of level 7 with the moving conveyors. I jumped down to the second one and rode it off the edge with my last life haha.

Thanks JD. I'm glad you mentioned the pausing thing because I forgot about it until you mentioned it. I definitely want to try it again because I know I can beat the second place score on Twin Galaxies and this time I will record my score. I think I've figured out how to top the first place score, but it's gonna take a little effort.

Easy. First one, let yourself move back until you're about 1/.4 a way off the back edge, jump for the next one, you'll land right on it. Second one, move slowly to the left and then when you're at the edge, turn and jump for the little one, holding in right on the controller. When you hit the little one, you'll immediately start walking, get right to the right edge and jump. Done.

Dam I apologize for the edit. I was not thinking. I just wanted to add more text because I realized I had 1 life when the pic was taken. Does my submission still count?

Took out the enemy but then hit the spikes like an idiot. This is probably the best I'll do with this game.

Spikes don't take off that much. In fact, do they even take off anything? I purposely jump into them so I can land and deal a cut to the enemy. Kill almost everyone on that floor that way other than Lindas and knife fools because they can chuck stuff.

Trick is to jump basically right when the blocks start to change colors. Not before, not after. Work the cut, it's better than the knee because the knee will knock people off platformers and off the screen. Cuts give you 500 points per hit, all enemies.

Actually surprised I'm still in the top ten. Haven't played this or even visited this thread since tuesday I think. After my fantasy baseball draft I think I'll play a few rounds of this and see if I can improve on my current score.

I'm not much of a fan of this style of game, so I probably won't be trying for much more than this.
