Tazz-Mania
Control a character to clear rooms of "hoppers" using an 8-direction machine gun. Each room has a name, a unique type of monster attacking you, and the walls close in from all sides. A bonus room appears every third screen where you collect numbers for points. The Smart Bomb kills monsters and stops the walls from closing in.

I've been waiting to play this game for a while.

I'll do the season standings later. Gotta go take a nap!

[bigbee99]

On the board with 8,330. I didn't stick my initials in for that score, but what ever

Not really my kind of game. Can't say I am going to enjoy this week as much as last.

Never played that game.
never heard of that game!

I like it.
I got to level 7, it's pretty hard.
I think the trick is to learn to use the "wall stopper" at the right time.

Taz - 20530 (typo in initials)

Grrrr... Frustrating game for me. Why do I have to be pushing a direction to fire my gun?

"Pull stick for instructions"

Y'know, that line... never mind, too easy.

This game is growing on me a bit. It's gotta be one of the most violently twitchy games we've played in here lately. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to tip my cabinet over by "pulling on the stick".

I'm up to around 38k, official submission to come.

Rob, how come you aren't on the season standing list?

[M.A.M.E Offender]

@ bigbee99 - It's a relief to hear your not really into this week's game. You massacred the last week's games!!

I just suck at this one. I gave it another run and I couldn't even pass 10k.

As far as my son sneaking in a score this, he's at his mothers this week and I'm sure they don't have any MAME set up over there. Maybe he left a score on his desktop in his room. I don't think he was doing to hot either.

He and I both enjoy Smash T.V. and this game remind me a lot of that game. But that does not mean we are good at either of them

I have been dusting off my Karate Champ and Metal Slug skills though.
