WEEK 51 & 52 Game: Blazing Lazers Platform(s): TG16 Challenge Type: High Score Game Details: Full Game When: Aug 31st - Sep 13th, 2020 Chosen By: raskulous
I’ve updated the website with the new game, let’s get shooting!
Good luck everyone, please submit your scores via screenshot or video by replying directly to this post!
RULES
Competitions last two weeks, close on Sunday night @ midnight.
Post screenshots in this thread as proof.
The winner from the previous week chooses the next game to play.
You cannot choose twice in a row. 2nd place will choose if someone wins two weeks in a row.
If there’s a tie, the person that submitted the high score first gets to choose.
Games must be high score compatible (think “arcade style scores” like Pac-Man, or Spy Hunter, not Super Mario).
Emulation is okay (MAME is often the best for high scores).
No save state manipulation (pausing to take a break is fine though).
Submit scores as soon as you get them! To keep the competition rolling and fair, do not hold on until the last moment to submit.
Points will be awarded for the entrants, based on the position finished for the week. This is to encourage wider participation, and the points will be posted each week as well as on the website.

Overall, we should keep it simple. This is just a good time, not a crazy official high score competition! Game plays should ideally be short and fun so people that can’t invest hours into this can still compete. Obviously we are working on a trust based system here, so don’t ruin it for the others!
I’m playing this for the first time. I‘m terrible at shooters, well most video games - it’s a fun and stress relieving activity for me - but I did enjoy a couple runs at this. I’ll plan on playing more. It definitely falls into rtfm territory though so I’m going to need to check out what all the power ups are.
God damn that area 9. I made it there with 16 lives and I actually made it through the almost impossible part and got to the final boss once. Don’t be afraid to use your bombs after you die. Always go for the shield power up.
Renegade - NES <-- played the poop out of this as a kid, I would prefer the MAME one since the arcade version is 100x better, but I think the NES version is easier to do here.
After Burner II - Genesis <-- never played the Genesis version, but I heard the gameplay is very faithful to the arcade
Rolling Thunder 2 - Genesis <-- I’ve never played this before, only Rolling Thunder 1 for Arcade
I was gonna do 3, but since Renegade is the spiritual prequel to Double Dragon:
Double Dragon 1 - NES
