@Corneel I have one question. In Metal Slug 2 challenge it says 3 lives, 0 continues, but in the explanation you also talk about 3 credits. What's the right option?
@Corneel Don't be. I mean, you manage it and pay for it, so... By the way, how do you decide who's first and second when there's a tie like in DK3's case?
GRADIUS II aka Vulcan Venture (beat the first boss, big bird thing, then crashed straight into the first wave of enemies after that. Does that count as level 2?)
DONKEY KONG 3 (loving this game but who the heck is Stanley? Mario impersonator?)
METAL SLUG 2 (Missions 1 and 2 cleared, stuck on end boss of Mission 3)
@Lroy Stanley is actually an obscure character in Nintendo's history, but they do put references to him in some games, like Game & Watch Gallery or WarioWare.
Konami have just announced TATE support for their arcade collection! That's tipped me over the edge in terms of buying it so I'll be able to try the Gradius 2 challenge as well as Tengai.
Also, good result for fan pressure. Nice to see a company listening (even if it should have been there from the start anyway).
Well, here is my first attempt ever at Metal Slug 2.
That's where I make it to with 3 credits.
I haven't really played MS1 all that much, but this second entry is something I loved since minute 1. Its humor is better and the locations are incredible.
I'm finding the credit limit in Gradius II doesn't make as much difference as I assumed. My runs are basically decided by how far I get on my very first life. Restarting with no powerups is borderline impossible at certain points.
By the way, has anyone made it past the asteroids in stage 3? What's the best technique? I've tried shooting them all and I've tried leaving them whole and gliding between them but I just die over and over and over whatever I do.
