Total brag....

The "What is the ultimate classic arcade shooter?" inspired me to do battle with Satan of the Hollow once again. First game, first man = 187k. Awesome! Ok, don't panic. Don't panic...final score was 528,320.

Finally, HALF A MILLION on Satan's Hollow!! YES!!!!! Hrm. That actually puts me at #12 on the TG list for 3 men. Not so far from the top score of...43 million. :p


Funny how you have these little breakthroughs in score. I was stuck under 200k forever. Finally broke that barrier. Now it's a common thing to score in the 200k's. Then just after CAX I got the 394k then a week later the 408k and the other 300k's back to back. But then I was back down in the 200k's again. Until today. Today was the day.

Oh yeah. And...pic, so it happened. :D

congrats! I played the game at Funspot this year for the first time(if you can believe that, the game seems awful popular), and it totally kicked my ass

i played the FS one myself too on my honeymoon, made it so tough to wait for the honeymoon to be over so i could pick mine up..
 
Wow, I haven't cracked the 40K mark. Of course my game doesn't save high scores so I haven't been too inclined to play it until I fix the battery.

Nice score. I'd love to see a video for some tips.

here's a tip i have. use for default settings, anyways. i try to keep a bridge built, and go over in the waves when the gargoyles all fly in circles with the bomb droppers. if they come straight down, stay and fight, you can pick off a lot more that way.

on the devil's head fire waves, move back and forth, as if you get caught up going the same way as him you usually get wasted in a column of fire.

and on the satan waves, i stay just to the left of center, and the second he comes out hit the shield button and let off a bunch of shots, and it'll hit him a good chunk of the time.
