Round 7 - R-Type Leo (US Version)!

Round 7 is: R-Type Leo (US Version).
Goal: See how far you can get on 3 credits.

R-Type Leo is a horizontal shmup developed by Nanao and published by Irem.

This is a fun game that I've had positive experiences with in the past. It's nowhere near as difficult as the original R-Type which is brutally punishing.

There is a US version and a Japanese version. The main difference is that the US version lets you restart where you were when you die, whereas the Japanese version has restart points, similar to the original R-Type.

We decided to go with the US version since we are American and French (and not Japanese robots), so it will give us a better chance of getting to the end   :)

Let's go go go and have fun with this one!!!

Round 6 - My Super Mario Bros 3 - Post Mortem and Screenshots

Sweet. Thanks for humoring me and playing that :)    I've always loved SMB.

My Super Mario Bros 3 was a very difficult SMB level set, at least as hard as "the lost levels" if not harder. World 3-1 was particularly brutal.

Results:

organic io: Finished (World 6 final)
A-Lin: World 3 Castle

I played it again tonight to take screenshots and see if I could discover levels 5-3 and 5-4, however I still couldn't find them, I think they don't exist. It just goes from 5-2 to 6-final.

Screenshot time!


2-1 - This is the extra lives loop exploit   :)

2-2

 

 2-3

 

 Castle 2, make sure you choose the right way to go   :)

 

 3-1 , probably the most difficult level in the game. Massive jumping puzzle at this point and beyond that is very challenging

 

 3-2

 

 3-3

 

 Castle 3. Indeed very difficult. You have to stay on the floating platform and get through all the fireballs and turtles. Intense.

 

 4-1

 

 4-2

 

 4-3

 

 Castle 4. Lots of jumping on moving platforms

 

 5-1

 5-2

 World 6 final. It's the last level. Challenging, but not as bad as 3-1.

Awesome! Tell me what you want to play next?
