_________________

Never played Ikari Warriors before, but I did get a nice Nostalgia Rush from the Falcon Patrol 2 music on the intro screen

Here's a score to start you off:


29800

Everything moves a bit slowly, but there's a lot happening on the screen. I've found that the 'locked firing mode' (press the CBM key and see what happens) makes it much easier to a) shoot anything that isn't behind a big rock and b) run out of bullets.
_________________

Only now do I realise that I have played this game, but not to great extent:

First try 13,600.

He he, beat your first try with my first try, Thunderer. 14000. Boy, I suck at this.

Shteev is as usual showing off.

Hannibal! You're on

Edit: 20 minutes later - 16,200 points.

There's a difficult tatrget for you Hannibal.

This ones gonna be fun.
First attempt: 8400

Good luck all.

Quick question, yes I read the info on how to play but still don't know how to throw grenades. Using VICE, have fire button set to space, controls as cursor keys.

@SLF: I'm already having a lot more fun than last month. I hope you'll enjoy it as much.

32,500

Hey hannibal, what a nice groovy new avatar you have there (actually I don't know what groovy means but I hope it's a nice thing )

Glad you're having fun, this is bound to be a great compo!

My first shot:

58,000

I love this game and in the past I have scored more than 100,000 so I hope I can do that again.

Was Emil put off by the trainers-off thing ?

I'll stomp your ass later, Hannibal, but I have to stop now and go for a job interview...



58,000

This is a much better game than either Commando or Who Dares Wins.

Good news: I got the job!
Bad news: (for you ) It's only 10 hours a week so I'll still have plenty of time left to allocate to the whupping of asses. Speaking of which:



90,600 - It's all a bit grenadey by this point.

Here's what I've figured out about the power-ups, if anyone wants to fill in the blanks I'd be grateful.

Purple: +50 ammo
White: +50 grenades
Black: +50 ammo+grenades
Green: smart bomb
Red: big grenades
Yellow: ???
Cyan: ???

Also: what does the red bar at the bottom of the screen do?

brown: FRAG GRENADES!!!! (they own)

Unfortunately i dont think i will time to play Ikari Warrior. It is a great game and i'd love to beat it...

I think the red bar represents the distance to the final target? I could be completely wrong....
Ah not, it is the fuel you got for the tank.

Congrats on the new job shteev (as for the score, I'm just looking forward for beating it...).

I think that the cyan box is the one which allows your bullets to pass through obstacles such as rocks.
There's also one which makes the bullets go further, not sure which (I thought it was the white one).

The red bar, as Apollyon says, is the tank's fuel, and the black box refills it.

In the past my best was reaching the final town (and then being blown to pieces by those big grenades). Let's see if someone can complete the game this month.

I'll post a screenshot of my best score towards the end of the compo

Nothing like a good ambush and a tank being blown up almost simutaneously.
