Thanks to all who participated in voting for this game. Enjoy it and lets get a good competition this month!

[rtkiii]

So what score are we recording? The Total Strength?

[helpman]

just get a picture when you finish your game, and we'll check what's the highscore meter

WOOHOOOOOO! bombjack was not one of "my" games, but prepare for a nice challenge this month

...I'm switching on my arcadeeeeeee...

[GimmeClassics]

So what score are we recording? The Total Strength?

I think you're right. I think the Total Strenght should be your hi-score.

Like Helpman said: just post a screenshot when you finish your game. All info is on the snapshot

Good luck !!

[rtkiii]

My 1st entry - 48.3

[hansolo77]

I'll have to play this game myself to see what we should go for. According to the screen shot, the strength is obvious. But does that just start at 100% and decrease as you die? There is also at the top of the screen a true "score".. in which case adding the 2 levels would give you 36.5. I wonder what Twin Galaxies used? In either case, since you're the first poster, you're obviously in 1st place, so way to go!

To be honest, I didn't vote this one in because I knew the scoring potential wasn't gonna be there. But, I am pretty good at this having played many different cabinets over the years, as well as the old DOS port on the PC!

Strength is calculated AFTER you die. Your score is determined by points earned from kills in the various stages, then as you lose lives, you lose a little bit of score for each life, and the last figure is your Strength score. So I think going by Strength as far as the competition is concerned, is probably the best way. In that case here's mine.

ExedExes - 89.3

EDIT: Raw score (and pic are also included), which was 118.5

[Mame Offender]

Oh yeah!! Not to boast but I have quite the knack for this Sega Megahit!

I hope to get a score up soon.

[helpman]

So heeeere I come

I just don't know what's the differences on the characters, besides the magic slots...

In spain most people played with the amazon as she has the biggest magic slots.

Anyway, this time I chose the warrior

Strenght: 132.5 (raw score 205.0)

@GC/Han - still no luck with DBM.

ExedExes - 89.3

I agree with this. If there are no objections (GC/Han?) i'll go ahead and use Strength as the competition score

In spain most people played with the amazon as she has the biggest magic slots.

Strenght: 132.5 (raw score 205.0)

I don't think that's just in Spain - bigger magic slots are globally appreciated i think

Good score btw.

[helpman]

Yeah, Death Adder killed me too he's though, but more due to his skeleton minions than himself

[hansolo77]

[Mame Offender]

I always use the chick when playing this game. Mainly because her magic is sooo powerful.

I only died once through the entire game. And like someone had mentioned previously on this thread, Death Adder by himself is incredibly easy to beat. The two minions along with Death Adder is what makes it somewhat difficult. That is probably why they make the two minion skeletons on the Golden Axe that was ported to the Sega Genesis invincible.

Anyhoo, here is my strength:

147.5

[DazzleHP]

Nice improvement! Pulled out a decent lead there

[KRC]

Has anyone finished this game on here? I see that Mame Offender is #1 has he finished it?

[KRC]

Well as per my above post I finished it myself

Strength: 235.00

I'm not even sure I got hit by any enemy.

[GimmeClassics]

Has anyone finished this game on here? I see that Mame Offender is #1 has he finished it?

I think Mame Off has finished Golden Axe > see attached pictures in this reply. Dead Adder seems to be dead LOL

[KRC]

Cool, I must overlooked that Mame Offender post. I think you missed my score above GC.

I love the ending on this game when all the characters escape from the arcade machine and run down the street.
