I hate Star Soldier. The gimmick where your ship goes under the playfield almost makes it unplayable IMO.

Lol. I actually have to change the way I hold the controller sometimes because my fingers start to hurt.

Also I think silver surfer might be more difficult than starship hector. I hate touch the wall die. Silver surfers difficulty isn't as tough as it's reputation but still a very difficult game.
Star Force is another one I haven't played (besides maybe 15 min to try it when I picked up a copy) but I hear is brutal to actually try and beat. IIRC I think TMR had to spam a pause trick at a few areas towards the end of the game in order to get through it for his NES Mania run.

Good to hear that someone thinks Starship Hector isn't quite as tough as Silver Surfer.

I agree. It's a dumb gimmick.

Players in the weekly contest were no deathing Star Force as if it was nothing. We did a one life only contest that week.

I will only be able to update the thread with the results tonight.
Thanks for everyone who competed this year.
We will have news about the tournament during this week.

Here is a run of 878k

I got much better at destroying the first end boss quickly and maximizing enemies in both stages.

Man. That's almost step by step how i ran the game.. Only exception is that you missed two of the ground clear bombs.everything else exact same.. . All came down to the time bonus I've now gathered. . Jolly good show mate.. Not confirmed yet but think we tied on Avatar bet. 🍻

Nice. Fun to see a bit of difference in gameplay between us. I hit 899,000 twice so frustrating lol. By last night I could clear that first stage boss almost instantly. 

i did not know about a couple ground clearing spots.

Thank you!
I tried it again just to see if I could improve my score and made it up to 916.000! For the 2 minute mode I got 374.000 as well. (I know that it does not count anymore. This was just for fun)
Maybe I can finish it for the NES challenge as well, but the horizontally scrolling levels are tougher so far.
