Well I thought I'd give Cloud Master a go this evening. I've never actually finished this one, usually get to stage 5 and then something happens (i die) and I never bounce back after losing all my power ups. First game tonight I scored 724,800. I'm sure that's pretty beatable... in fact I'll go try and do better right now!! Edit: Did a little better. 778,000. Edit: And a little better again.... 872,500

Never tried this one, but it's been on my "to play" list for quite a while . From what I've read the game loops, although whether that's endlessly or just once I don't know, so if anyone's good enough it could be possible to max score it . Either way, should make for a good contest! Game on .

Finally I game I am decent at! If I get completely through, I'll pot a video on YouTube. It definitely is a challenge though and takes some patience.

Wow, tough game! I like it ;D.
Only had one go so far and I only managed to reach the first boss ;D. What's the score with the power-ups? Do they get better as the levels go on or are they always that crap? All the power ups in the first room seem pretty useless.
Anyway, my score so far 110,100.

I always use the same powerups throughout. The bouncing balls which are in the bottom right corner when you choose. Other powerups I find a little distracting.
They do get better as you go on yeah but not by much to be honest. If you get to around stage 3 or something without dying you'll already have the best powerups there are.

Just had another go, got to level 3 without losing a life and then lost all my lives to the flying sword things, must remember to dodge them instead of trying to shoot them . I suppose that's where the bombs come in handy, but I'd already lost them. Managed a score of 319,100. This is a great game .

Yeah, Cloud Master is great...but damn tough! It doesn't loop, though. I couldn't imagine how they could make it even tougher on the second go. On the last level the lion sub-boss is much tougher than the actual final boss, since there are so many pieces of debris flying about everywhere. I don't think I can play it again, at least not for awhile. It's one of those games that are so frenzied they give you a headache! It'll be interesting to see how the high scores progress, though.

It doesn't loop? The EU manual states: "When the boss at the end of Round 5 is defeated, the game returns to Round 1, but with heightened action." Maybe it's an NTSC/EU thing? I'm sure I'll find out in the next few days .

Just had a go now I've finished playing Paperboy. Got 379,500 on my first go. Sounds like I did exactly the same as ninja and died on level 3, lost my power-ups and couldn't get past that one particular section. Will have another go soon.

I have a NTSC copy and it does loop.

Heh, my bad then. I guess I didn't let it go any longer after I finished it. It definitely has a long and pretty substantial ending, which is different than most games that loop. Whoever can finish it twice over is seriously a legend.

I finally got a chance to have a go at it. Got 809,800 on the first try. Died at the final boss and then couldn't power up enough to get back.
