Hi. I'll probably be playing a lot more now, I picked up a slikstik 2 weeks ago.
For some reason I cant seem to link the bigger pic.
For my 2 games, let's do bullfight for cabal.

Welcome, Kaze0! Zee more, zee merrier...!
My votes go for CABAL-->I, ROBOT (A game I am determined to get in the queue because of its seminal fame)
&
MANIAC SQUARE-->MAZINGER Z ('cause 4 out of 5 cheerleaders think giant Japanese robots are cool).

I finally managed to crawl past Devil's score...albeit just barely. (Something I actually did a couple of days ago, but I kept checking Roto's slightly dyslexic "54,200" heading instead of the true "52,400" score.
)BTW, how the heck do you execute the special moves in this game? I scarcely remember being able to do them in the NES version, but I haven't played it in over 15 years.

Can't come close to that Cabal score, or even my score for that matter. I don't know how I did it, all of a suddent I was at 300k on like the second part of the first level.
But here's the maniac square.
I want Bull Fight if I win.
