Game Info

Mash-up sequel to both Battletoads and Double Dragon created by Rare for the NES in 1993.

Other platforms: Game Boy, SNES, Genesis.

Prequels/sequels/spinoffs: An odd mash-up of the Battletoads franchise and the more well-known Double Dragon franchise. Good stuff.

*UPDATE*

We will play this game for two weeks since I will have spotty access to the internet over the next week or so.

So we'll play this game until Tuesday, April 1st.

This is one of those annoying games that doesn't keep your score after the game ends.

I started getting clobbered so I took a screenshot before dying here, but as it turns out you don't really have to anticipate it. Just use a continue and your score will still be on the screen.
Don't let it go back to the title screen or your score will be forever forgotten.

Took me a couple tries to get that far. I'm sure somebody can do better, don't get beaten by a noob!

I don't love the collision detection in this game - it seems it's impossible to hit 2 enemies at once, and you can't throw them into each other either.

Still having internet access problems, or? I've been wanting to get back into the NES high score club but I don't like this game, so I've been waiting for the next one...

Sorry, been very busy; my wife just had a baby.

I'll try to get a poll up today and next Monday or Tuesday we'll start the next game.

[Jibbajaba]

Congrats!

Can I still play Battletoads and submit a score then? Not a big fan, but I'll give it a go anyway...

Chris

[vdub_bobby]

Sure, you can submit a score until I get the next game up and running - which should hopefully be tomorrow midday.

[vdub_bobby]

Not a popular game...

Anyway, it's a pretty fun game, but the gameplay is a lot shallower than I expected. There are lots of moves you can do, but you never really have many choices.

Well, I hope you all had fun playing!
