But you still start with 0 points, so it makes no sense to not start at the beginning.

You get a bonus for killing certain enemies. With highest one selectable you can beat no. 1 with only a few stages beaten.

I don't care which difficulty you select.  We're just a friendly community competition here.  Whatever you think will help you, go for it.  We just don't want any cheaters.  TwinGalaxies doesn't have any specific limitations to what level/difficulty you use other than the DIP settings.  We try to stay with their rules since it's a good way to make sure we're all using the same settings.

2 stages beaten I feel bad for the others but oh well

[hansolo77]

Wow, so you did that by starting at a higher difficulty and only completing 2 stages?  Not bad!

The image is a bit hard to read (not your fault).  Is it 147,300 or 147,800?  Unless you say otherwise (legitimately!) I'll go with 147,300.

Don't worry thats right

Man... It almost feels like cheating by starting at the highest difficulty level, beating one level, then killing that big fat bonus fly & barely surviving past that... But here it is.

138,875.

Yeah, seems like cheating and an unfair advantage.  Too bad I had no experience to back up the decision.  No biggie.  If it works out for people to use a higher level starting point, then so be it.  I'll try posting a new score with the higher start level soon too.

Here's my score: 46,650 points

I need some practice  I use my keyboard to play this game. Using keys numpad keys 4, 5, 6 and 8 and E, S, D, and F.  Kind of hard to control.

Nice one!  It's good to see you back, posting scores, updating boards.  Let the good times roll!

I’ll just slide into 7th to grab some overall points. 17,875

[hansolo77]

Thanks for the submission.  You should be able to get a better score if you keep at it.

Updated...

And may I say.. a HUGE improvement!!  You went from last place to 2nd place, and almost tripled your previous score!  Way to go bud!

In other news... sorry updates have been non-existent this past month.  I had my long awaited hernial surgery and have been slowly recovering.  I was originally supposed to have this done a while ago.  Back in January I had a rupture but wasn't able to get it looked at in detail because I had just begun recovery from a nasty C-Diff infection last year.  They had to wait at least 6 weeks before they could do anything.  So middle of February comes and they get me in for a CT scan.  Then 2 weeks later I had the followup where I was diagnosed with 2 new hernias officially, and surgery would take place in another week.  YET, here comes COVID-19.  One of my co-workers that work in the Produce department was able to get in for his "nearly" identical surgery just 3 days before the lockdown.  I, unfortunately had to wait.  They suspended all selective surgeries, which this was categorized as.  So I suffered, with a ruptured previous hernia repair, and 2 new hernias.  FINALLY, come May 5th, I had my surgery.  They were able to do a quick fix of the rupture, which apparently wasn't as bad as it felt. They also repaired and meshed up the 2 new guys.  Turns out, the PAINFUL hernia I had was related to the new one.  What had happened, the original hernia that was repaired LAST January 2019 had a mesh installed and a new hernia popped out right next to the edge of the mesh.  The other hernia was located up above my belly button and it was the one that hurt.  All told, the surgery went fine, I slept through it, woke up and it was done.  I was able to move enough to get dressed and get home.  Then I crashed in bed for like 4 days, hardly moving.  Rolling over hurt, sitting up hurt, and going to the bathroom was killer.  But that's because the tissues and what not had not healed yet.  At this point today, the pain is gone, but I know I'm still not  fully recovered.  I'm returning to work next week, with limited lifting restrictions.  Everybody at work "misses me" but I think they just miss my work and my help, not me personally, but I can hope right?   Anyway, I should be hopefully back to keeping the high score tables updated!
