Bank Panic

Yeah I played this for about 30 minutes before I finally figured out what you're supposed to do. I still don't know if there are more stages, but it looked to me like you had to time the shooting, like a Wild West "Draw" showdown. And there appears to be some guide that shows what doors you've killed a guy at. I imagine once you've done all the doors, the stage would change, but I never made it that far, LOL! Other than, I'm not sure.

@GimmeClassics - I still feel like a dork for having those cheats on. I honestly never would have submitted a score knowing they were. I truly appreciate you understanding. I got a couple days off for the holiday to give it another run.

I see some monster scores in top 4 territory. If anyone has a minute, share some tips with me, that'd be great.

Yeah - I'd really like to know how George and TiF have achieved their insane scores

What I am trying to do is

- move strictly on a door-to-door basis. I mean I can't for the life of me handle 3 doors opening at once on the higher stages. For example I start with doors 1,2 and 3. Once I got a deposit in 1, I move on to 2, 3 and 4. Once I moved, there's a high probability of someone already waiting in 4 so I can concentrate on that door opening at once. I typically screw up when I have to move by more than one door to defuse a bomb or when time runs out.

- know my foes. The dude with the white boots is the fastest one, so I try to look mainly at the boots. Also, when a deposit is robbed and you return to that window, almost always there's the robber still waiting and you can pop it without much ado.

- get EXTRA lives. In the early stages with a little practice you can do "0.00" kills, earning you a letter. After very little practice you should be able to get at least one extra life per game (besides a load of extra points).

So - happy scoring!

Thanks for sharing your gameplay hints smario !! Focus on the boots...that really makes sense Thanks !

Btw, you're always welcome to play in our competition ! ....and remember, it's all about having fun Submitting a #8, #4 or #1 score is all good. It doesn't matter what your skillset is...the more participation the more we all enjoy our hi-score competition

I seriously try to only have people in 2 doors at once, all 3 open is kinda hard to see all at once, and don't try to have door 1 and three open - that's too spread out. Another thing I do it let the timer tick down to the end almost - you get more points collecting cash and shooting bad guys than for time remaining bonus. Do your best to collect the EXTRA letters, extra men are hard to come by in the later stages (200k, 500k, 900k i think)

other than that, practice and have good reflexes.

Thanks George ......I'll definitely take gameplay hints from our pro Bank Panic player seriously

I missed this one. The game's a lot more fun once you figure out that FAIR system. I can't believe the scores some of you racked up.

253,750

And in case any of you are interested, this game had a spiritual successor known as Combat Hawk.

**hansolo77** · May 7, 2015

I know, some of these guys are crazy good. It took me a few tries to figure out the rules, but I'm no where near as good. Thanks for the post, we'll add it right up!

Nice info indeed Thanks Murve !

I'll definitely give Combat Hawk a try....maybe a game to add to our list of poll games ?

played this again last night and I beat my old HS that was on my cabinet by 1k - but just realized the one I have on record is 65k lower than my current HS...Need to get that photo uploaded. Did not move up any spots...but...

**hansolo77** · November 22, 2016

Yeah, we need proof buddy!

I thought the High Score table still had me at 290 something...if it is only a 1.3 k change...I wouldn't have posted LOL sorry

**hansolo77** · March 4, 2017

Actually, I miscalculated/misread. You achieved 1.8, not 3, as 386850 is 1800 more points from 385050. So you're good!

**Luigimaker** · February 10, 2018

after being so close to 10th many times I finally get it only to be SO CLOSE to 9th

**hansolo77** · February 11, 2018

Something to "shoot" for.

**Floyd Turbo** · December 11, 2018

Time to start submitting some scores on older games.

**hansolo77** · December 11, 2018

They're all older games.

**Mame Offender** · December 15, 2018

This one is a lot of fun, but I am having a hard time coming anywhere near the top 6...

Oh well, I barely made the top 10.

115,100

**hansolo77** · December 15, 2018

Yeah, this was a hard one for me to figure out what to do.

Nice to see this game getting some love!
