Time for score dump #1. My new stick is paying off!

Aliens:

Alien Syndrome - Now here's a game I haven't played in years. I played the NES version a few times. Got through this one OK so far with 165,400.

Alien Storm - I'm familiar with this one, moreso its version on the Genesis! I notice a similar scoring system with Golden Axe; turns out the same Sega team made Shinobi in '87, Altered Beast in '88, Golden Axe in '89, and this one in '90. The judges gave me the score of 8.62.

Defender - Back at the Yolympics, as I was putting together the scoreboard for the Cosmic Triggers that month, I knew M.O's game was this one, and that's why he fought hard at it. His #1 is safe for the duration of the tournament. I was only able to manage 38,650.

Cowboys:

Iron Horse - The first in the Konami trilogy. Green Beret in the west, that's exactly what this game reminded me of. But unlike that, I can do better here. I'll start off at 81,500.

Sunset Riders - M.O.'s Yolympics game may have been Defender, but it's safe to say mine was this game! It's been a while since I played, so I only got $238,650.

Wild West C.O.M.M - In the early 90s, Konami had the big bucks to get licenses to many popular animated series, and this one of them! This show was on for a few seasons on Saturday mornings on ABC. I was able to play this for real years and years ago, and one thing I really didn't like were the LONG boss battles, and it still seems to be the case here. Still, I scored 9,605.

So there you have it. All screenshots are down below!

[Mame Offender]

Oh well, last place but still worth some lb points.

Gordon ------> 6.20

[Mame Offender]

You just knew M.O. wasn't just going to set his guns down and stop playing.....

I've got a ways to go to come anywhere near the 'X', but its good for second (for now).

Sunset Riders - Bob - $78700

[Mame Offender]

As previously mentioned, this one has a lot of similarities to Green Beret.

Actually, you could label this one a cross between Green Beret and The Adventures of Bayou Billy.

Iron Horse - 91,500

[Mame Offender]

C.O.W. Boys of MooMesa---6355(improvement)

[Mame Offender]

BTW, I am having a barrel of fun at this Halloween Bash!!

[Adultery]

I'm getting back on this during my PTO later this week, but I wouldn't worry too much since you guys are waaaaaay better than me!

But I like themed seasonal comps, we should do them more often!

[Mame Offender]

Alien Storm --- 7.94 --- Gordons

[Mame Offender]

Less than half a month left....

Exed Exes. ------- 570

M.O -------------- 550

Some things never change.

But hey, I'm not quitting quite yet. I came just shy of Exes first score dump.

It's Alien Storm, I am struggling with it. And I sense my Alien Syndrome score is going to get smashed. Advantage Ex on Sunset Riders and Moo Mesa, with a close battle on the Iron Horse. The only one left, Defender. Well, I feel comfortable to a degree.

Enter Phase 2 of the Halloween Bash.

Here are my submissions...all pretty weak

Iron Horse - 21,200
