Next up is 005 by Sega<\/a>.\u00a0 \"\"Actually the next game should be (Medal) Yumefuda [BET]<\/a> which WolfMame<\/a> states “THIS GAME DOESN’T WORK. You won’t be able to make it work correctly.\u00a0 Don’t bother.
\nThe colors are completely wrong.”\u00a0 but I did anyway and well they’re correct.\u00a0 Some mad Japanese headache inducing card thing.\u00a0 When I recovered from my fit and turned it off I started on 005. According to KLOV<\/a> “you play a spy who must take a briefcase and successfully navigate past guards to get to a waiting helicopter. The guards pursue you into dark warehouses and skating rinks. Defeat them with gas canisters.”\u00a0 Twin Galaxies has 676,350 down as the MAME world record whilst the arcade record is 1,500,000 which Wikipedia claim to be the maximum score achievable.\u00a0 Hmmm.\u00a0 That’s some score then.\u00a0 Maybe I can get within touching distance of the MAME WR at least…<\/p>\n

My character is dropped in to the first screen by a shitty looking helicopter at which point I pick up a suitcase and have to avoid the enemies who are rapidly advancing from the top of the screen.\u00a0\u00a0 With little time to work out where to go or what to do I use the god awful controls and enter the nearest building which happens to be an ice rink.\u00a0\u00a0 Enemies now come from the entrance and exit where a helicopter waits presumably for me to make my escape on.\u00a0\u00a0 The enemies progress at such a speed I have to enter the ice to avoid them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Brilliant…\u00a0 Now on the ice the controls have gone from awful to ab-so-fucking-lutely dreadful.\u00a0 My enemies must have brought skates with them as they manage to capture me with ease and I lose my first life.\u00a0 I’m dropped back on the ice and can’t off the bloody stuff for love nor money.\u00a0\u00a0 Eventually I manage to get off it without being killed.\u00a0 Not from skill I might add but sheer luck but then I am killed once more… I then begin outside the ice and can enter the helicopter with ease. Woo for me.\u00a0 Then I have to do the whole thing again.\u00a0 This isn’t fun.\u00a0 I then recall I have\u00a0 a gun of some sort so instead of entering a building lets shoot some bad guys.\u00a0 No non-violence stance from this kid.\u00a0 I take the first enemy down superbly only for him to become an immovable object in my path.\u00a0 At which point I’m killed as I can’t go anywhere.\u00a0 All three lifes gone and first WR attempt score is 5,900.<\/strong> Dogshit.<\/p>\n

Next attempt I the enter alternative warehouse building instead.\u00a0 Somewhat easier, just avoid the flashlight beams.\u00a0 When they shine on my character he speeds up which begs the question why not be that fast all the time?!\u00a0 Anyhoo I manage to escape to the helicopter.\u00a0 Same thing again, only ice rinks this time.\u00a0 Captured due to immovable dead guy on ice.\u00a0 He’s on ice for fucksake.\u00a0 Surely he can move?!\u00a0 Now with one life left, I manage to traverse the ice and get in the helicopter.\u00a0 The next level and I’m in the helicopter.\u00a0 Trees to the left, right, and above, bombs from a helicopter above and what look like air balloons rising from the bottom.\u00a0 My guess is avoid everything till something good happens…\u00a0 Eventually the helicopter descends so I shoot it in it’s stupid helicopter face and voila “GREAT ESCAPE” and some bonus points later I have to do it all over again like Groundhog Day but one where Bill Murray has to play a shit game instead of sardonically read the weather .\u00a0 Attempt 2;\u00a0 26,230<\/strong>.\u00a0 A quick check of the standings and if i submit this now I’ll be 9th in the world.\u00a0 I think I can do better…<\/p>\n

Attempt 3;\u00a0 26,390<\/strong><\/p>\n

Attempt 10; 44,180 <\/strong><\/p>\n

This would put me at 6th. The fact that when you shoot the enemies is beginning to really get right on my tit ends.\u00a0 Shoot enough of them and you just can’t progress past a screen without dying.\u00a0 Unless I’m missing something this is a terrible design flaw and one which means I can’t take this game any longer.<\/p>\n
