After all that platforming in Bart Vs the World I needed to play a shmup, so on Trashitall's recommendation I've started Astro Warrior.
Apparently it's quite a short game (3 levels?) so I think photos are a must for this one, easily taken too as it shows your high score on the start screen after each game. Let's go!

I like this game, good choice!
My best so far is: 125600 points
that second boss is really hard, especially once your power ups are all gone.

Just completed it, but the game repeats! Should the top score be for as long as you play or after the 3 levels are finished? I currently have it paused, I missed the exact score, but it was 19xxxx something, I shall continue playing... Ok update time, the game is a good deal harder on the second run through, lots more enemy fire. So I guess we should just play untill we lose all our lives. And I managed to be defeated by the second boss again. So my top score so far is now: 307200

I haven't completed it yet, didn't realise it repeated, so I guess just keep going and try get as high a score as you can . My current score is only 140300, managed to get to the beginning of the nebula section. I'll easily beat that now I've got the hang of the enemy patterns, so as soon as I can get the pad back from my daughter I'll have another crack . I love what comes up after you beat a boss too, " Surely Revive Zanoni" ;D.

Oh snap, it's on! I think the score should be based on how long you can play. Besides, doesn't the game get slightly more difficult each time you pass through the third level and it continues? It's up to you guys, some people may have more time than others, but technically it's fair to keep going I'd think. If you want to restrict it to the third level, however, fine with me, that makes it a must that you can max out your points the first time around instead of just laying back and slowly building a high score, which technically anyone can do.

just play as long as you can and get the highest score you can possibly achieve . So does this game loop endlessly? Game's that you can't actually finish annoy me, I want to see an end sequence for all my hard work ;D.

I just improved my score a bit, man the game is so tough when you slip up and lose all your power ups - which I managed to do again before confronting the second boss again on the second run. Silly thing is the third boss is a piece of cake in comparison. Anyway my top score is now: 319400

Yeah, I gave it my first run and only made it to 118,000 (something at the end, I forget). Lose your power-ups and that second boss is a no go. I have some practicing to do!

I actually find the bosses easier with the standard weapon, those pink drones you get put me off when I'm dodging the bosses bullets .

I finally managed to defeat the second boss twice, but used up all but one life which I immediatly lost on the next level. But that did bump up my top score to: 343100

Phew, that's a damn tough score to beat play. My highest is now 275,500. I have the second boss' pattern down now so he's no problem. What is a problem is the second quest difficulty. Pretty much everything throws bullets or more bullets at you, including those damn icicles in level two. Once you die there, it's pretty much over. I managed to make it past their death barrage once, but it didn't last long. That's quite a score to beat.

Man, this game gets annoying if you die and therefore lose your weapons... Still, a fun game. My best score so far is 176,700, which I got on my third try. Well, third try in recent times - I've played it a bit before. :) I'd love to build some sort of JAMMA adapter for my SMS; then I could play it with my nice arcade setup. :D Still, it's not bad with a Mega Drive arcade stick. I'll go give it a few more goes, since it's still playing next to me... :) EDIT: I kept ballsing it up at the start of level three, which meant it was pretty much the end of it. However, I finally managed to get through the level and beat the final boss (what the hell is up with that? It took about two hits...). I only messed up on level two of the second run; those double-missile things fired bullets and caught me out... That was pretty much it. On the plus side, I managed to rack up 286,900 points. :D A good deal short of Playgen's impressive result, but I'm pleased with it. Here's some proof: www.aypok.co.uk/photos/hiscores/sms-astro_warrior-286900.jpg (large image, so not posting it directly).

My new high score is..... 356,700 I'll post a pic later on, I'm still playing and I reckon I should be able to well beat that score. Didn't lose a life until the 2nd meteor field on the second run through, at which point I sneezed and got hit by a meteor . Then my lives just got soaked up into those blue rocket things, they're hard as hell to dodge without any speed power ups.
