Monster score! I managed to loop the NES version, but that's quite an achievement. No way I'm catching up with that before the end of the month
Thanks!
I don't think i will find the time to play another run the next two days, so here are some final thoughts about the game:
This was the first time i played Tiger Heli, but i played the successor (Kyuukyoku Tiger) and some other Toaplan games before, so playing it felt a little familiar from the beginning.
Even though it has some serious technical issues such as the sprite flickering and constant artifacts from scrolling at the top of the screen (plus the PAL-bars and slowness, in my case), i really had a good time playing the game. I never played the arcade version, so i can't tell if it's a good port (guess not) but it's fun anyway.
The lack of bosses sometimes makes it hard to tell in which stage/section you are and in the later stages the bullets are very fast and dodging is pretty tricky because of the sprite flickering.
After all Tiger Heli is a fun game and i will most likely return to it sometime.
