Metal Slug X

[hansolo77]

I know I've not made it to the boss yet, let alone pass it.  And if it's anything like the first level, there's probably a mini boss half way through that I've not met yet either..

A quick work about your submission...  You're only allowed to play with 1 credit in the machine.  It's the only way to be fair.  Some games allow you to continue your game with your existing score by adding more credits.  Because of this, even TwinGalaxies has the rule of 1 game 1 credit.  Your screenshot shows you have 11 credits in the machine.  Although I trust you didn't utilize more than one, the rules stand.  Since you're new, you may not have known about that.  No biggie.  This is a great game and I'm sure you'll be posting more scores soon enough.

@hansolo77  I had all of the credits previously because I got tired putting them in lol.  Didn't know it was a rule, so that's my bad.  I got half-way through stage 2.  I did figure out that you can become human again after you become a mummy....not sure how I did it.  1st boss is a breeze now....it's just a matter of keeping the camel, don't die, and go under the first boss once you've taken out the gun.  Still enjoying this game!  Next goal is to get pass the 2nd stage which I think will be a great accomplishment for me.

Mummy - Sometimes the enemies will drop a potion that does it.  If you are human it gives 1000 points, but if you are mummified it turns you back.

Nice score!

Thanks for being a good sport forest about the previous entry.  Most new people have that same hiccup, so it's no big deal!  Nice to see you sticking around with us and continuing to try.

I got it!  I put an "A" but guys...it is me!   My thums has cramping and I hit A right away and tried to go back but then iot just took A.

2nd boss is actually not hard...if you just keep moving.

Of course we will accept your score Rich. You're with us from the start of our HS comp. That's worth a lot and you're a very nice guy !!

Finally broke a million tonight and made it to the second stage boss but died on my last life.

[hansolo77]

I meant to play this while on vacation, and I completely forgot.  Oh well, there's still a week and a half left in this game!

Better get in on this!

I've done Metal Slug 1, 2, and 3 in various TG competitions in the past couple of years. X is based off of 2, and it's easier with the re-arranged bosses and less slowdown! So I took my good performance from the slower 2 and made it better here!

Nice one Exed!  I was wondering if you were gonna play this month or not.

Damn it!  I knew someone would sneak in at the end  :).  Nice score...i am not done yet!

[hansolo77]

This game is so fun though.  Even if you don't win the monthly banner, there's still lots of enjoyment with it.  I've been trying to think, there's only one game series like this.  Contra is similar but no where near it's animation and style.

[patrickfx]

Bravo all of you.

Don't give up just yet!  There is still 2 full days left!

[hansolo77]

I made it to "A" boss, I don't know if it is "THE" level boss or not.  Was jumping up a bunch of platforms with robotic claws trying to grab me, shooting rockets at me, and the occasional laser blast.  Didn't kill it though, and after I died I lost all my POW records.  Oh well.  Still, the farthest I've gotten so far!

Ugh...time ran out for me.  Going to Colts game tonight so no more time.  Congrats to the winner.  Good 2 month contest this time around!

[hansolo77]

Tell ya what rtkiii,, unless the other HS Mods are against it, I'm willing to let the competition extend until Sunday.  That's my next day off, and the tasks to create a new GOTM and POLL threads usually take more time than I will have available to me until then.  So unless they say otherwise, consider it a floated extension.  Of course, if nobody takes advantage of it, that's fine though.  We'll just assume EE is our winner (again (rolls eyes)). 

 

[rtkiii]

I think EE desrves the win.  We have a set rule and I think we should abide by it.  As for it taking a few days to get the next GOTM rolling, is fine as well.  You are doing this in your free time and whenever you can do it is fine with us(I am speaking on behalf of the whole community...because I can)

 

Nice win EE!

I think we should keep the last day of the month as the final moment you can submit a score. This way it's clear for everyone   

And Rich agrees so a couple of days without GOTM is ok  Anyway, that's my opinion
