You voted, here it is!  July's GOTM is none other than Bay Route.  We had 4 votes for this game.  Not much data exists for this game.  It's a Contra style Run and Gun platformer.  Hopefully we'll get more participation for this month's title.  If not, we may decide to cease activities in this forum.  It's a lot of love given work to make all this happen.  Without active participation though, it's just not worth it.  So please play and submit your scores!  Even if you don't think it's "good enough", it truly is.  Not only will you competing against other GameEx users, but you'll be earning points towards the Overall Leaderboard, which gives you a ladder to climb whether you're good at this game or not!  So lets get those submissions coming!

Here is my fifth try...

Thanks for getting the ball rolling!

Here's mine for now:

Score: 54,650
Stage: 2

I don't think I like this game very much.  2 hits and you're dead.  2 lives and it's Game Over.  Very unforgiving.  I spent probably $3 in quarters to get this, trying to beat RedDog.  Maybe I just suck.

Entering BayRoute.... with a score!

ExedExes - 83,700

[hansolo77]

Wow nice one!  Which weapon is the best?  I think I like the flame thrower because I can hold the button down.  I never got any grenades though, which I assume is that 2nd weapon.

Updated OP, DB, RSS

[ExedExes]

The first and third are best. With purple items they can be powered up. You have to duck to use grenades.

[RedDog]

Ok, just dropped $2.00 in fake quarters and could not get past stage 1. Tough game! 

[Mame Offender]

Hey guys!  Agreed.  This is a tough one.   A submission is on its way!

[RedDog]

Oi!!!! This Game! I am glad I am not spending real quarters any more.

Best for me thus far: 59200
Sorry there Han buddy...

[hansolo77]

Heh... "No, that's not true... that's IMPOSSIBLE!!!"

I advanced my game just a smidge today...67,750

 

[Mame Offender]

I read the spiel that Han wrote about submitting even if you think the score sucks.  Well, I think this is not a good start, but in my defence I've yet to play this one.  Little ripoffs from Contra pop up left and right, with the Boss on the 1st board being the most obvious I've seen thus far.

 

Start me up, once you start me up, I'll never stop.....

I could be a total douche bag and deny this score because the initials are wrong... but I'm not a douche bag, or any feminine hygiene product for that matter.  So I'll be cool like you guys know I am, and accept it.  Haha!  Yeah that's right, I was going to take your score anyway, but felt like bringing it up cause I'm that kinda guy.   Nice job RD.. lol

What "spiel"?  I'm dead serious!  You sole post now has you on the board.  There is room for 6 more "I'm not good enough to even post" entries, so don't feel bad at all.  In fact, you're just a few kills shy of MY score.  I should probably find some time to play this again to make sure my score isn't beaten.  That, and we don't want to see Exed with another trophy.

No, no. Hes right...we want everything to be on the up and up...I submitted the wrong screen in the first place anyway. Here you go.   

 

[Mame Offender]

This one is way tougher than Contra.

 

Nevertheless, I made a little progress here:

 

62,600

Round 2

MO

[hansolo77]

Sorry MO... being a GOTM (even though your score doesn't really put you in contention) I can't accept your score with 2 extra credits in the machine.  I mean, you let the time go so you could add initials, so obviously the game is over.  But our official rules say just 1 credit 1 play.  It's probably no big deal, and continuing would just reset your score.  I'd have to test this to verify.  But fair is fair, and this is how we role.  Can you try again with just 1 credit?  Thanks man!

@RedDog  Wow.. nice improvement...  too bad that score would put you in 1st place on the in-game board and not 5th.    Nice try though lol.

Aw man, you caught me.   

[rtkiii]

Game is tougher than I was expecting.  Best I could do in 45 minutes.

Made it a little further.

Never give up!

Gosh, I despise that rule about the credits.  It makes absolutely no sense.

 

----> 80,000

-----> Credits - O

[hansolo77]

Thanks for being a good sport about it though.  The reason we did that is because SOME games will actually keep your current score if you continue.  So you could in effect keep playing and add to your score.  Of course, if you stopped long enough to enter initials, that's you're own fault.  Not to mention that you could have popped in 5 credits to start with and just now got down to 0.  There's no real way to know.  We just made this rule to try and keep everything fair.

Ok, the clock is ticking.

The mission: To take over first place and beat that pesky Exed Exes player.  It's not going to be easy, but I'm gonna try!!  

Here we go!!
