158,600

One of those tough-as-hell games. If it weren't for the fact I have better self-control, I'd be cursing it out right now.

[PressureCooker2600]

I used to be a wizard at Ninja Gaiden 1.
I could fly through that game like no other. It was my favorite game at the time and it was all I played so I got REALLY good at it.
I never played part 2 as much so I'm not as familiar with it past the first 2 stages.

[Roloking]

This game is cruel.


I got a few more points in the level after I took the screen shot but it wasn't a whole lot. Those guys who roll up and bounce around annoy me!

One more day to play! I've been too busy with Squish 'Em lately to participate much, but now that's done so...

[PressureCooker2600]

Me too.

[PressureCooker2600]

89,800

Coulda done MUCH better but I never had enough time to get in a decent game.

[vdub_bobby]

I think I'm going to let this run another week, actually - give more people - including me - a chance to play and give people a chance to vote for the next game.

[PressureCooker2600]

That'll give me a chance to actually play on my system and get a better score instead of getting a shit score on the emulator.

[vdub_bobby]

Ok, so I still didn't have time to play.

In any case, we're done. Hope you had fun playing super-killer ninja Ryu.

(I'm on dial-up right now, so full update to scores will come later...)
