Posts: 567 Group: Members Member #149 Joined: June 7, 2008	Well I got past L1 Boss.....eventually - And even made it to the L2 one.....but got 'deaded'. Wish I could have devoted some more time to this one as I enjoyed it - Thanks for the nomination. Final - somewhat paltry - Score 51850. Really liking all the games so far this season.....Though notice they're not popular with all. ....Swings 'n' Roundabouts I guess. Looking forward to what crops up next - In fact I may pop over to the nomination thread to see what's there..... Attached to this post: 51850_Mercs__JUE_____000.bmp (1.98 MB)

I was running out of time, and it started doing a slideshow thing, saying thanks to people. I ended up accidentally deleting an email by missing the Retro League tab in my browser in the rush, and my heart was going, and I was trying to get my post half written while it was holding me up. I couldn't type properly, either. General Panic Stations all round! It was a great game. Thanks for nominating it. It makes my Ikari Warriors nomination seem a bit tame now. That's probably going to be the highlight of the season for me, though I don't know what else we'll get, of course. I'll have to go and have a rest now, after the intensity of all that. I'm sure I had this on the Amiga, though I can't remember much about it.

I'm sure I had this on the Amiga, though I can't remember much about it. No probs for the nomination, been wanting to play it in the league for a while as you can grow at it and is perfect for just one more go That ending helps though doesnt it with all the secret areas Dint really get time (busy week thats seen me go to hospital 3 times twice for me and once to visit a mate) to get a much higher score, the one i did get is about 2k lower than yours! but Iam sure that Twin Galaxies of 841k approx is more than doable. I think me maximum is about 812k but need to do some points whoring for that and the scores on the game are a lil bit inconsistent Finished the game with everyone having flak jackets... got a score less than 700k If i could have got galaxian working could have been a tight-er season...

First, I hope you are okay after the hospital visits. Second, I was panicking so much, I didn't really see the end bit properly, as I was too busy opening up my FTP program, saving the first picture, opening directories ready to copy files, and writing a bit of my post. I'll have a look on YouTube for the end, and watch it properly. I only had 2 flak jackets, I think I had two or three people dead, and only one gas mask. I mainly used the bullet and flame man.

First, discharged from Physio as there is nothing else they can do, So am on me own for a while re my completely spackered back interms of fitness. 2nd having some scary tests that results will be out next friday ish ( will be life changing results) 3rd me mate had a brain Anuyerism on Thursday. Will know more when he has had tests tomorrow. Hospital could have been better this week Second, The ending makes it much easier to find jackets and the 1 medal shop.. everything is literally one medal! Me I used Bullet man, ignore flame dude other than the swamp bit on level 3? (even then dont always use him as is easier to run) and then use laser on bosses/tanks. Homer in the darkness bit on the last level and grenade if energy is low else where. Basically Bullet and Laser are the only ones needed but thats just me.. finish with none dead. last boss just keep moving to avoid missiles and then when you can hit the missle then megacrash when rockets are going to land... It really is a brilliant game.. I cant believe the likes of Sega pro iirc gave it thirteen, yes 13 % in a review... tossers

Perhaps there was an ulterior motive for giving the game such a low score, because I can't find anything in it to justify that score.
