T13 - Round 7 - momoko

Never had that Weapon in tell I started doing the bonus Stages .

those Bonus Stages are a complete Joke. If you ask me you lose points by doing them

Then enjoy not being able to skip the practically useless laser weapon.

The amount of points lost by entering the bonus stages is minimal, you can even wait that fire is almost catching you before entering a door, if you want to extend the leeching. You risk of course that the door doesn't bring to a bonus stage then, and you have to escape from fire rapidly.

The real last weapon can't be achieved with green-alien-powerups because (for a glitch? or was it intended?) they don't release the power up after a certain point. Bonus stages instead make your gun go up of some levels anyhow, though.

Make your choices

Basically, avoid using diagonals when using escalators. Maybe the game was designed for a 4-way joystick, or maybe Jaleco didn't do anywhere near enough QA...

it's been set to 4-way for the next release.. the bug is confirmed to happen on the pcb, but it's most likely the original cab used 4-way joysticks so it never actually occurred. (a bit like how you can reboot one of the metal slug games by pressing left+right at the same time if we allow that)
