I was even more surprised at how well this puppy plays, looks and sounds. What a sleeper. How this never got more publicity is beyond me. I guess people at the time were too enthralled with their "real" shooters like "Contra legacy of war" for PS to really care. What a shame.

Congratulations! You made a wise choice. "How this never got more publicity is beyond me" indeed, it deserves to be so much more well-known. Truly the most underappreciated game on the Neo-Geo.

P.S. the link in my sig is my woefully-outdated-but-still-there Shock Troopers website <img src="graemlins/mrt2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mr T]" />

Oh boy, score discussion! What kind of scores are you getting now?

For the highest possible score, play the Jungle-Valley route. There's a more advanced method of squeezing points out of enemies besides the usual close-range attacks, but it's not recommended to focus on that until you can finish the game on one credit...

I love Angel, but I love Milky a little more too... I dunno why, she's just so badass. Maybe it's because Angel's voice is kinda scary... "READY BOYZ"

So what was that high score BBH? I'd like to have some friendly competition with you if you don't mind. I'm able to make it pretty damn far without a single continue (or losing one man, since I have that second version with the 3 hits your dead and then the 2nd and 3rd character comes in). I probably won't beat you but it be nice to try, since I don't find many ppl who like this kind of thing these days.</strong><hr></blockquote>

Well, since you asked... my record is 37,669,300... as far as I know it's the highest score in the world, as the Gamest record I found was 31.3 million. I was stuck at the 29 million mark for a long time, but then I found out that turning Blood on in the soft dips actually hurts your chance at getting the highest score possible. Strange...

I know 38 million is at least possible, I'm still going for that

because I honestly love this game, in fact I'd say it's my favorite shoot em' up waste em' all action adventure for any console etc, even beating out my love for the Metal Slug games <hr></blockquote>

AMEN!!!!!!!!! <img src="graemlins/mrt2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mr T]" />

You're in San Antonio huh? That was the first place I ever played Shock Troopers actually, at one of the Diversions there. I'll never forget the first time I played it with headphones plugged in... that was quite an experience.

Thanks for the tip, I was wondering which was the best route to use!

Right now I'm no way near that kind of score! Only had it for a week or two...I cant complete the game without loosing a few continues yet. I saw your sig a while back so I knew I had to improve. I will beat you eventually! Well...err...no I wont, most likely
