MaliciousCarp

I was a total Sega Fanboy back in the day, so my Super Nintendo experience is pretty limited.  My first SNES was the Retron 3, which had terrible sound and couldn't play StarFox.  I eventually got a SNES model 2 and a SNES Classic Mini which both can play StarFox.  This should be an interesting one!
 
(I was originally going to make a joke about playing the original Star Fox on the 2600 and submitting a score for it, but I feel like I am too new here... Also, I really don't want to subject myself to a Mythicon game if I don't have to) 🙂 

Bonus points for @MaliciousCarp for bringing up the 2600 Starfox AND getting a picture with it no less.

Very nice RickR.  Congrats!  I'll be practicing so I'm ready for next Yars' challenge.  😉  I had a much needed blast, guys.

Congrats @RickR! Thanks for sharing your strategies too! 

Congrats RickR!  Yar score is definitely vengeful!  😉

I am playing on my 7800

Here is my best.  wow - this variant starts out hard, then gets crazy hard once the neutral zone is taken away.

Tip - hit the moving Qotile to get big points and an extra life. 

278,579 - Game 6 = Ultimate Yar.  I need to get Greenween over here, as this is his game.
 

OK, I managed to play for a short time.  Here's the score...

Finding the time is the true challenge 😅

51,580. Managed to get through the first course without losing any lives! Then quickly lost them when I got to a couple tricky spots I wasn't very experienced with.
I used to play the Apple II version of this game pretty often many, many years ago. The one signicant feature of that version that is absent here were the moon plant obstacles. This version is smoother, though. I'm surprised by just how much activity can occur on the screen at once!

This feels more like luck, but it is a slight improvement.  It seems like once you get past the tanks your score starts building rapidly.  I got to the rocket stage and managed to jump it once on this run

40,440! 
 

Stepping it up! High Score: 36,080 😎

Welcome! You'll find this is a great supportive community. Thanks for joining in.
