Must have been during the early NES days before the Start button became the standard for pausing in most games to follow. Makes sense if you are playing it on the Famicom since those controllers are always connected. Not so good on a U.S. console considering we were lucky to even have one controller. That still stands in retro gaming. Those things are not cheap to come by these days. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted October 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Congratulations RadioPoultry! Congratulations @RadioPoultry on your fantastic score! I hope you guys enjoyed that super spy action in Spy Hunter! I hadn't played this game in years, it was nice to pick it up after such a long time. It was always one of my favorite games to play on the NES growing up. You guys posted some seriously impressive scores on a very challenging game. @RadioPoultry posted an astronomical score of 100,715 points! Unreal! I ranked 2nd place on the board with a score of 64,330 points, @kamakazi20012 took the 3rd position with his A-game of 39,470 points, @RickR took 4th with a solid showing of 22,125 points, and @Atari Creep rounds things out with an impressive 15,510 points. Congrats to @RadioPoultry and everyone who jumped in to play in this squad challenge and shared a score! Radio should be very proud of his accomplishment and I'd like to encourage him to post his new high score on the Scoreboard, and let's make sure this Challenge continues on! NOTE: Our next High Score Squad Challenge will be a Halloween challenge for the TurboGrafx-16. Be there!

greenween Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Wow, terrible pic. It was hard to get a picture before the screen changed.50,810 played on real hardware. Always an arcade favorite of mine, the NES version is one of the best arcade ports of all time in my opinion. RickR and Justin 2 "Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime."

greenween Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I got this tv 2 days ago and just got it cleaned and the NES hooked up last night. Great job RadioP.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 How'd I manage 3rd place? I was expecting a much lower position. I couldn't even get close to the score I posted again so I gave up LOL. That game is brutal. One fatal mistake ruins the whole thing. You can obtain extra lives but those are very difficult to get. And that timer counts so fast that it is up before you realize it. All of that makes for the perfect ingredients for an excellent arcade game. And a great port on the NES didn't miss a thing. I do believe if you hit either the Select or Start buttons it can sometimes call up a weapon truck. Sometimes. Seems random. Congrats to everyone! A well played game.

The score wasn't posted before the Squad Challenge came to an end, but there's still plenty of "nerd cred" to go around. Great to have all of you participating!

My main strategy was just to keep my speed down to "cruising speed" and take my time so I didn't crash. 10 hours ago, kamakazi20012 said: I do believe if you hit either the Select or Start buttons it can sometimes call up a weapon truck. Sometimes. Seems random. I've never heard of that trick, I'll have to give that a try! Seems plausible since there must be some reason the Pause button was moved to the second controller. Maybe there's more going on here? Seems like we have a mystery on our hands fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 It says in the manual that pressing start calls the truck. So mash that button before the road widens. greenween and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari 5200 Guy Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Well, manuals were not made to just look pretty I read the SMB manual once and discovered it had a continue feature . All those times I could have continued where I left off and instead I was starting completely over. D'OH! Sometimes it pays to read those things.
