I just got into nintendo vs. stuff about 6 months ago when I picked up a red tent. My main interest at the time was vs SMB as my good friend and I are both SMB freaks and had been wanting to play the vs. version in a cab for some time.
Anyway, I started exploring the rest of the vs. catalog and picked up Ice Climber because I had read about the many differences between the NES and vs. version. I knew about the addition of a stage select, and the additional hazard of bees and wind, etc. but I had never seen mention of the second set of mountains after the first 24 and the super bonus stage. These aren't in the NES version, are they? There is very little real info about vs. ice climber on the web and twin galaxies doesn't even have any scores listed (just some tossed together scores for MAME). If any of the ice climber pros out there could weight in, it would be appreciated.
Also, does anyone have any idea what general range constitutes a "good" score? I just had my first 300,000+ game and it felt like I was doing pretty good. Anyhoo, I've had it for weeks now and I can't get enough. I had always liked Ice Climber ok, but the vs. version really tweaks it to perfection.
