Still trying to break through this section. This stage is pretty extreme in single player. It seems like the game is balanced around the 2-4 player Co-op, so shit gets pretty wild here. This is the first massive difficulty spike, and some of the other stages were pretty tough solo. The big challenge here is dealing with slow fire rate of tank and slow movement, coupled with enemies swarming the area in large amounts and being able to take out your base in only a few shots, maybe 2 or 3. I had a few close attempts but still had quite a few armored tanks I would have to clear out. Hoping for an air strike power up during the armored tank rush. I also had some luck on one attempt with doing a little spawn killing on the armored tanks. The trick is being read to spawn kill them and not having my base destroyed while Im up in the corner doing that. This may take several more hours.

Once I complete this port of the arcade game I will probably bang out the original arcade version on MAME, but in Co-Op mode for a quicker KILL and something a little different. This one will definately warrant a tutorial with commentary and a review once I complete it. I think I will stick to completing my first run solo.

Nearing the end of this month with 121 KILLS for the month so far. High volume focused month and new record for games beaten in a month. May kill off a few more tommorrow, but will probably switch back to incorporating longer games back into the routine again. Maybe aim for 50-60 kills next month, but leave a little room for the modern games and harder shit like this. Couldve hit 130 + with all the easy victims available (recent additions to emulation PC, Switch, 360,Xbox,PS3 emulation added), but I'll leave a little slack for me to beat next time I go for another record. One of the things I really want to try to improve is my play time, which should be around 150 hours this month. A definate improvement lately, as Ive been hitting 100-120 on average monthly. Will try to be more consistant. More play time really means more shit gets KILLED for the list, even if Im not focusing on super high volume. Its very easy for me to hit my minimum monthly KILL QUOTA of 25 games beaten monthly, with everything available, especially on the emulation focused PC.

Stay tuned !!
