Tips

Some of the same tips from last week (Contra) may well still apply.

I like to get fire for first 3 levels, then spread for rest of game.

On the overhead level 2 fire has extra range compared to other weapons.

Hold down the shoot button for a bigger shot with fire and use the splash to kill things easy.

On level 2 boss goto the right then give it 3 charged fire shots to driver for easy kill.

You can stand on top the crab mech in level 3 and shoot down through the armor with fire.

I'm a big Konami Fanboy and I missed Castlevania 3 and Gradius
Better make a big impact this week.

[rjchamp3]

You guys have fun I don't have these contra games.


Can't wait for next season

[LarcenTyler]

The one thing I've learned is that it's better to be patient and think before you advance, rather than just run-n-gun. Helped me get a better score this week.

I get about 180,000 a loop. It's 3 A.M. and I just got burnt out.

Is there an emulator that works with this game? I can't get it to run. Maybe my image is just broken.

Here's another score just to get me on the board:
