Never played this, and after a quick go, I got hammered pretty quickly. I think by '85 I was in my first job and spending all my money on beer instead of video games :)

 

Really need to haul my cab inside, so I don't need to put on a beanie and gloves when I want to play it. Why doesn't the female of the species appreciate the timeless art that is a dirty great big upright Gottlieb Challenger cab enough, to allow it in the lounge room ? It's not that much to ask surely :D

I spent the first game trying to figure out why it would only shoot left (who'd have thought I needed to use other buttons for shooting, Doh)

Looks a few people have not played this one before.

One of the reasons I nominated is because it hardly ever gets any recognition , and I have found it a very enjoyable game in the past with a unique firing system and nice graphics for 1985.

Most people would of played commando but not this and its sometimes called the sequel <_<

 

Get them 6 shooters a blazing <insert western theme music:)>

 

 

 

edit: Almost forgot you get to ride a horse as well:laugh:

Looking for some good western style music to play in the background. I love a good button thrashing but I'm not sure if my forearms can take more than a couple of games at a time - obviously out of practice.

When he's on the ground plug the bullets into him as fast as you can. It's hard to see, but when they hit they do make a little red dot. When you shoot him enough to take one of his energy bars he disappears in a puff of smoke.

 

Hope to improve on this a bit tomorrow, need a break now, it's a tiring game to play.

As DKong said go easy on the shooting when you can to conserve for the hectic areas.

 

edit

I just got soooo close to killing the Dynamite Boss, had him down to the last bar and shot him a couple more times then died. If I can make it past him it will be a PB and I will be happy :)

 

edit

GRRRRRR......getting up to Pig Joe Dynamite consistently on my first or second man, leaving me 5 chances to get him, but he is too quick. Twice now I have got him down to his last life bar, GRRRRRRRRR.

Love Big bad John :) an old fav, I don't listen to much C&W, but I do enjoy some.

 

'Tis a classic but did you know there was a sequel???

 

 

BTW DK, was a big Johnny Horton fan as a kid but one day when searching for his songs on Limewire I came accross one titled "I hate niggers". Had a listen & it was hate filled tripe, Deep South US at it's worst. Just can't listen to any of his other stuff with the same enthusiasm these days.

 

Back on topic I had a few games tonight, can't seem to get much beyond 100K at the moment but reckon it's starting to gel, will post a score in the next couple of days.

Out of curiosity, i just listened to that tune......its pretty hard core lyrics:o Nothing out of the ordinary for its time though, most "white folks" treated afro-americans like this in these times, if not worse. I can see why it put you off this artist though, not good karma:(
