MESSAGE: Welcome to our 66th Squad Challenge! This time we're playing Ninja Spirit for the TurboGrafx-16! Ninja Spirit was released as a HuCard (TurboChip) for the TurboGrafx systems, and was included as a pack-in title with most TurboDuo game systems sold in the US! I think you'll find that Ninja Spirit is one of the stand-out titles among the US releases for TurboGrafx. It's a fun game with powerful jumps, different power ups and some serious ninja strategy. This has become my go-to game when I'm craving a ninja game. I should also apologize to you guys for posting this Squad Challenge five days late. I always try to post these on time. I have been absolutely swamped with work and have been distracted from the site and from playing games for the past few weeks. I'm here though, and this is going to be a great game for those of you just discovering the TurboGrafx-16. This is a SINGLE LIFE RUN Challenge, and you are only allowed ONE LIFE to achieve your high score in this Squad Challenge. ROM and Instruction Manual are provided below. Good luck to everyone playing!
 
NOTE: Our next High Score Squad Challenge will be for Atari 7800. Be there!

Congratulations RickR!
 
Congratulations @RickR on your ULTIMATE score! I want to thank EVERYBODY for participating in our little event this year, and for celebrating the life and works of Howard Scott Warshaw who went for so many years without recognition, carrying "the blame" for the video game crash. I hope doing HSWDAY once a year is a fun way to break out these old games and appreciate them for what they are. I hope everyone had a good time playing Ultimate Yars!. Congrats to @RickR @greenween @atarilbc @TrekMD @kamakazi20012 and @Atari Creep for being among the most elite Yars' Revenge players! I'd like to encourage RickR to post his new high score on the Scoreboard, and maybe this Challenge can continue on! 
Our next High Score Squad Challenge will be for the TurboGrafx-16!

Playing on the 7800 so I put in Space Invaders to make sure that the difficulty switch is on A.

I kinda had to do it, right? LOL

Yeah, me too. When the quotile started chasing me I went for easy kills. It seemed to stop chasing me around 175k.

NOOOOOOOOOOO! LOL I'll be trying again tomorrow!

I tried, great job Rick!

I suck at this game, but I have the next 3 days off. I'll get a score posted tomorrow for sure though!

I genuinely tried to get back on this one, got too busy. Going to still try to best my score until I can reach 6 dig score. Its fun for sure.

I tried, great job Rick!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! LOL I'll be trying again tomorrow!

Those are some impressive scores! 

That's what I said when you posted your score....NOOOOOOO!  Two old farts battling it out.  I love it.

This is my strategy for the whole game.  Shoot em mid air only.  The score racks up pretty quickly.  But it gets really hard when that stupid dash starts flying around at full speed. 

I'm playing on a 2600jr with a Harmony cart, and the joystick has been modified to use microswitches.
